I love the guy but Joel still has no offensive game. Oh boy.
Shepherd seems to be the one guy that can create a shot.
Grant has disappeared today.
Where is the improvement that we heard about from Kuany?
KoreAmBear said:
Wins are going to be hard to come by and these kinds of games are the best chance. So much for something different in the Fox era.

There are so many fires on campus today. Just wow.
agree ... don't prolong the agonyDavisBear said:
Fire FOX right after the game! No reason to see anymore of this. UCSD is still transitioning from D2. Just a total failure. #FireFox
Yes, promote Francis. This is not working. Just like Wilcox. Time to start over. Again.Oakbear said:agree ... don't prolong the agonyDavisBear said:

how could his assistant be any worse??
"Now entering his second season on Mark Fox's staff, California men's basketball assistant Andrew Francis joined the Golden Bears in April 2019 with nearly two decades of Division I basketball coaching experience, including stints at Iowa, where he helped in rejuvenating the Hawkeyes program back into national prominence, and at perennial powerhouse Villanova."
not a horrible idea for the team, but poor Ben, having to take this overducky23 said:
Just take Braun from the tv booth as interim. Seriously. Tell me he'd be worse

Cal is the team I said they were in the offseason. No improvement of any player, except for Kelly getting in shape. Freshmen unplayable. And they are headed even lower with the top three players from today's game not here next year.

Lowest point of cal athletics ever.
Hopefully the women beat Sac State today.
You and I have been aligned on Fox. I did not know as much about his Georgia teams as you did, but it was clear after watching Cal play a few times under him that hope was lost. In today's game Cal had a huge quickness advantage with Brown and size advantage with Kelly. Shepherd is better than I though 1-against-1. But the game turned into Shepherd going 1-against-2 and no taking advantage of Brown or Kelly. I think the offense would have been better if Brown had been made the coach today.calumnus said:sluggo said:

That we would get here has been obvious since the moment Fox was hired, as is our future under him.
I cannot believe Knowlton just got an 8 year extension.
Where was that announced?fat_slice said:
Well at least we got to bring umbrellas in. Yay
All part of the rebuilding process. We are just impatient. Plus covid. Extend him!BC Calfan said:
This was a Wyking level loss. Good lord, what a total embarrassment.
Looking forward to Fox throwing the players under the bus and not taking accountability for this. The excuses are coming.

UCSD is actually a good team. They're great shooters and very well coached. We simply aren't very good, but I wouldn't be surprised if UCSD wins a bunch of games including some big opponents.
Grant looked unstoppable v. CSULA but now when he had D1 players guarding him, he struggled badly. But he's had good games against good teams before so we just need to get him going.sluggo said:

People need to cut, we need rotation off those double teams -- we don't see too much of that.

Celestine would have helped, but everything else the same it would still be a loss. Grant A. did have an off game, he is a quality player. But the talent is very, very low and the coaching is abysmal. Kuany is the one player with unrealized potential, and he should play near the basket. UCSD had nothing underneath but Fox had no idea how to exploit it. And their guards were so slow.KoreAmBear said:Grant looked unstoppable v.

Shepherd looks pretty good. He might be an apt replacement for Bradley (who is probably laughing now).
Joel - such a good kid, but how is he still stuck on offense like he's a freshman?
Hyder -- kind of looks the same and nothing really stands out yet.
Kuany -- looks the same, so disappointing considering people were saying how much he improved. Show us.
Kelly -- was having his way early but then they started running other guys at him. We are going to need to play off that to our advantage. People need to cut, we need rotation off those double teams -- we don't see too much of that.
We missed Jalen and Foreman today, but there's still no excuse why we couldn't beat them without these guys.
