Santa Clara's Kevin Foster (2008-2013):

"Foster made 431 three-point field goals in his career, which is tied for the fourth-most all-time in NCAA Division I history. He finished his collegiate career as Santa Clara's all-time leading scorer with 2,423 points, which is also the most in San Francisco Bay Area Division I history and second most in West Coast Conference history."* Wikipedia



*The late Hank Gathers (LMU) is # 1 at 2,490 points

Bears look pretty good, I have to say. Players have really improved a lot. I know this will get harder with elite conference foes . But still.

I've grown weary of hearing about the Broncos' missing big men. All I know is, WE OVER .500 NOW!

Ball sticks too much with Grant. He is also shooting really poorly the last few games. Though he finished this game with some nice buckets.

Brwon looks lost tonight. Can't finish around the rim.

We can get the ball into Kelly inside anytime. We should be going to that every time.

Kuany doesn't look 100%. Even then, I think it is time to move on and fill that scholarship. Alajiki has more upside and plays tenacious defense.

Celestine plays D too much with his hands and missed a bunny on a great feed from Kelly. Just dunk it please.

Foreman is playing under control. he can be solid when he does that and doesn't shoot too much.

Bears looks great tonight. Solid W. Especially enjoyed the 14-0 run to end the 1st half, and the 19-7 run to end the game. To echo an earlier comment, this is the best I've felt about the program in a very long time. TY Cal Bears Basketball!!

Andre Kelly: "We have good team chemistry. We go to Coach's house for BBQ's and Thanksgiving dinner."

Bill Walton: "My coach didn't want us to know where he lived."

I like what I am seeing with this team and give credit to the players and coach Fox. While we have some things to improve on and clean up this brand of basketball works for who we have on the team. Hopefully we can get some good recruits to improve our athleticism. A true point guard would be a great place to start.

Back from the game... The last couple of minutes of the first half, I actually felt a little of that "Haas/Harmon magic" (i.e. crowd noise/excitement) as we surged into the lead!

Nice win tonight.

For those who couldn't make the game, you missed "Sneaker Cam" during a TO, where the scoreboard showed off several pairs of sneakers, worn by fans. It was a special, special moment...

Folks on this board can say all they want about Fox, but this Cal team plays hard and with lots of energy. And they don't quit. I was worried when they got down by 11 in the first half, but they pulled out of it.

- Nice cutesy cursive writing across the chest of our uniforms. I guess if the other team wants to play dolls we'll be prepared.

- Whoever is in charge of uniform decisions should be fired. The warm-up "sweaters" look ridiculous. And the gold color of the uniforms looks wrong to me. Is there some reason we can't just wear the style and exact color hues worn in the Jason Kidd era?

- The midcourt "Cal" logo is too big.

- Needless to say, it sucks that all students and fans have been completely removed from the court. All in the name of ADA or whatever other bull**** they want to claim. Rather sterile.

- As long as the pear-shaped softie is a team leader, we're hopeless. Been saying it for three years now. No, not Kelly.

- The camera placement is still too high.

- The tan colored-seats they've installed at midcourt distract and just add visual clutter. Bad idea.

I wish I had more positive things to say.



Chapman_is_Gone, you have long been one of my favorite BI posters. So I gotta ask: Is everything okay?

Because I care.

Well, that's your opinion. I, respectfully, have a different viewpoint.

- I saw nothing wrong with the "Golden Bears" cursive writing across the chest of our uniforms. And I thought the
gold color of the uniforms was perfect. It was much more of a "gold" color than the yellow we have worn in the past.

- I love the size of the mid-court logo. It looks much better than the smaller one we had previously.

- There is still a row of seats for fans (not students) right at courtside on the entire east side of the court.

- Not sure who the "pear-shaped softie" is.

- It's time to stop *****ing about the camera angle. It isn't going to change, so just learn to live with it. I don't
see it as a major issue.

- I have never seen any tan-colored seats at midcourt, and I attend every game, with seats in the chairbacks on the west side of Haas.

I wish you felt better about things, especially when we win.

Yeah, actually liked sneaker cam but they didn't show my Kyrie 7s!

One of the reasons this team is successful is shepherd's passing into the post in the rhythm of the offense

The type of passing that comes with good vision of the court, understanding of how to pass, and just a maturity in the game

Six assists tonight and most/all into the post

1) We won.
2) The sound volume was reasonable. How many years did it take to get that fixed?

How does Cal not recognize former players on the PA/scoreboard

They didn't do anything when Paris was on the bench either

Can someone talk to the AD about this??!?!!

Fox has a bit of a decision to make about Joel brown. He's clearly our best perimeter defender but our offense is so much more efficient with him off the floor.

Fox has finally figured out to just run pick and roll with shepherd/Kelly. It's not a pretty brand of basketball just spamming pick and roll, but at least it gives us an offensive identity (finally) and it actually creates fairly efficient shots for us.

Shepherd isn't a great shooter but he's good enough where they have to respect his midrange jumper. And he also has pretty good vision. And once you get Kelly the ball on the roll, it's game over.

But if we become a strictly pick and roll team, it makes playing brown extremely problematic. He's not a good enough shooter to run pick and roll with him. And he can't space the floor like Forman. If he's on the floor when shepherd/Kelly are running pick and roll, brown's man can just double Kelly on the roll.

This is why grant/Forman/Sam/Kelly/shepherd is by far the best offensive lineup. Cause those three can space the floor while Kelly/shepherd just play their two man game.

Seems obvious to keep Joel on the bench, but once we start playing more talented teams, shepherd/Forman are going to get lit up on the defensive end. So it'll be interesting to see what fox does.

Re..Ted..Stop reading things that are not there....So many folks have been so programmed and I do mean programmed Manchurian candidate programmed ) that, like Pavlovs' dog, racism is the thing which automatically pops into their poor brains at every conceivable opportunity. Sam has Irish ties...Hence, the comment. man....Millions of folks in this country need to be de-programmed.

What did Freud say?????"sometimes a banana is.....just a banana." So, stop yelling ***** every time someone. says banana. The mind control going on in this country would make hypnotists blush.
