california golden bears 78
eastern washington eagles 70
reality is that without #0 this is a slightly above average power conference team that will not make the ncca tournament
period, nothing to see see here
but with +1 athletic michelle onyiah this team can compete with any ******* team in the nation, the decision to not start her is just a really bad decision by coach charmin...onyiah coming off the bench as a fierce defensive presence (ila's lateral footspeed on d is kinda like fardaws) & 12 points on 6 of 7 field goals & 8 boards in only 25 minutes
only 1 foul today (which wuz a random offensive skill when 2 players collided) which wuz a result of michelle playing a foot or two away from her defender instead of right up on them, she can still neutralize them with her length & quickness but can also avoid fouls by not body checking them
4,000+ loud young students at the game, charmin wuz pretty emphatic with her mic statement after the game to the crowd imploring the kids to tell their parents they wanna go to a future wbb game at haas...that's a smart move
but the reality is that basketball attendance for not only the women but also the men (averaging under 3,000 even with an improved team with a high energy coach) is FAILING because of knowlton's handpicked marketing/sales appointment of the dumb as rocks & obstinate markeisha who don't want all berkeley students to attend all basketball and football games for FREE which is basically gonna crush cal's future season tix & donor fanbase pipeline
coaches wilcox, madsen & smith need to DEMAND to knowlton that all students be allowed FREE admission to all cal sporting events, that's a gift to all students many of which are the 1st in their family seeking a college a degree & from limited financially socioeconomic backgrounds for studying at the #1 ranked public university in the world
yeah stupid as **** people make stupid as **** decisions
cal football needs as many fans loudly cheering at memorial stadium in the 2024 innagrual season of the acc, some of those free tix students will someday start venture capital high tech firms & be worth tens of millions of dollars...ask urself, r they gonna donate to cal football then?
worthless bureaucrats in berkeley#
