Yeah - beat a team with three wins. Yeah Cal! (happy for the players)PtownBear1 said:
Happy for the players. Just hope this win doesn't end up becoming the determining factor in retaining Fox another season.
Defense was good. Grant played ok. Celestine was intimidated by the road. He will play better. Lars ok. Need more from Kuany.power went out in San Bruno so had to do radio but watched this morning.stu said:
Either Cal's defense is pretty good or OSU's offense is pretty bad. Either way I'll take it.
Not just a team with three wins, but a NET ranking of 243 coming into the game (244 now). Coming into the game, a huge gap between the 11th best NET ranking in the Pac-12 (Ca'ls 146, still 146 after the win) and OSU's 243.socaltownie said:Yeah - beat a team with three wins. Yeah Cal!

If Fox is good at anything, it is keeping up team morale and getting the players to play hard. It is amazing to me to watch how hard they play and how well they pull for each other. And it is every player. If only he could recruit. Only 3 points for the freshmen who are averaging only 5 points total.RedlessWardrobe said:
The game will have no long lasting effect, but even though its a cliche, this team still plays hard every game and it was nice to see them get a win. Especially in a close game.
True, we got much better shots than OSU did. I'd say a good part of that is due to coaching. The game was close because we didn't make a high percentage of those good shots. I'd say a good part of that is due to recruiting.BC Calfan said:
The Beavers are BAD. Talk about an Elite 8 hangover. Feel like Tinkle is checked out. Their talent isn't horrible but they play with no structure. Do they have a point guard?
The Beaves are battling a lot of injuries of their own, including their point guard.BC Calfan said:

Fox needs to win one more conference game to better last year's 3-17 record.

Even on the road, hard to say it is a big deal for 146 to beat 243 by 2 points. A bigger deal to win any conference road game without Kelly, and of course, the Bears did lose at home at the beginning of the season to a team with a current NET ranking of 279 (UCSD), so we shouldn't sneeze at the win. But in evaluating the program, it isn't exactly a big plus.
It is a big deal for the players, because they snap a 10 game losing streak, and can carry a little more hope/confidence into the mountain school games at home. As a fan, I'm more relieved than happy that we could pull this one out.
I'm assuming you're joking, but realistically, if I actually thought we would be challenging for a conference title in 10 years, I wouldn't be AS vocal about wanting a new coach. I don't see Fox ever getting close to challenging for a title though. It's only going to get worse each year as his antiquated authoritarian style becomes less and less appealing to each generation of youth.Civil Bear said:The Beaves are battling a lot of injuries of their own, including their point guard.BC Calfan said:

If Cal gets one more conference win then Fox's contract should be extended. Babysteps people! At that rate, we should be challenging for the conference title by 2032.
there are some names when mentioned, I just can't ignore. Coleman is one of them.calfanz said:
I'm very happy we won
I'm very happy that Jerod Lucas is not our go to guy. He seems like a better version of Dontae Coleman.

My son had baseball practice. I was thinking of DVRing but I said nahh. I should have since it was a rare win.bearister said:
Did even KAB give up on the Bears?
I will say that Roberson knows how to finish. It does not seem like he has an outside shot, but he can get to the rim and finish in a very smooth fashion.HoopDreams said:Golden Bears are back in the W column! 👏@CalMBBall defeats Oregon State 63-61 to snap its 10-game losing streak. #GoBears | #Pac12MBB pic.twitter.com/R9lYwKUjTN
