With the POSSIBLE exception of Askew, Cal has no one that can create their own shot. Combined with bad outside shooting and a predictable offense, its very easy to defend.

You must mean 1-17.
Here we go baby! Time for Kell to turn up the heat.
Clank!
I'm thinking we don't get to hear Mark Fox's ugly girlfriend analogy in the post game pressie.

Even the open shots are missed.Bearprof said:
Most of our shots are highly contested because we have no scheme to get guys open.
Clank clank
Can't even make layups. Embarrrasing.
Womp womp. We suck
Wonder if we'll be favored over UCSD at this point.
The thing is, Davis is the better team.
Man Friday is going to be fugly.

Well, I can't say I'm surprised by the result. But I am a bit surprised by how awful Cal's in game coaching was. 17-1 Davis run and Fox has no answer.
Neither the football team nor the men's basketball team has a workable offense.
Why do all our guys late in the program look so raw? The stench is bad Fox. Already.
And that was the night that Elijah Pepper became a legend of Interstate 80, Exit 72. From that point on, any player who completely took over a basketball game, and against all odds singlehandedly willed his team to victory, was said to have "Pulled a Pepper."

It's all his guys now. He went to Europe. Defense is supposed to be his thing. Ugh. This is may be a worse season than Wyking's second year.BearGoggles said:

At least in previous years we played alright defense (mostly cuz the game was so slow)... gonna be a long year I'm afraid
Can't wait to see the presser. "They wouldn't listen." You think Brown is gonna stick after watching this?
This program is in way worse shape than football, which is saying a lot. What a disaster.
Another contract extension is coming for sure.
Well, if Fox says we lost because we didn't play better defense I won't argue with him.
Maybe Fox is keeping the offensive playbook under wraps until the Pac-12 season.
Can't see any reason Roberson or Bowser play.
He should play Newell and Okafor 25 minutes a game.
Bunch of lost sheep out there.

Imagine if Askew had stayed closer to home at UC Davis.
Okafor should be fast tracked. No plays for him. He looked like he was bored. At least he is strong and can catch the ball.
We have some players who can shoot the three. Problem is, they rarely get open. No screens are set.You would think that against a zone we would figure out how to get some open looks. Nope
We are the worst team in the league.

Go Bears!
Davis is 208 in Sagarin
Eastern Washington is 206. UT Arlington is 233. Southern is 300. UCSD (who we lost to last year) is 316.
We might get 4 wins this year guys! #PracticeFacility #COVID #InvestAndAttack

Broken record here: our offensive scheme is freaking terrible. No open shots to spea
Meanwhile a lineup without Askew is zero scoring.
Lars for how good he has been 3 feet from the basket is just so weak with the ball. No awareness.
Bowser -- man, how was this guy a 4 star? Really can we get that guy that was highly rated in HS?
Bowser: I suspect, if you check the record, he might have gotten four stars from one rating service, but no way was he a consensus four star.
Regarding Joel Brown's many journeys to the basket and then nothing productive coming from it: That is his signature move! Every player has a signature move!

Another extension? As it should be! You see, after this season, Fox will have only two years on his contract. We need to extend him, so that he is able to recruit!
Yes the math on how many years to extend him is:Big C said:philbert said:

+2 years for recruiting purposes
+3 years (one for every major COVID variant since the original strain)
+1 year for the lack of practice facility
+1 year so that Knowlton and Fox can retire at the same time

Fox is the Number 1 coach in player development, he said so himself. However, Cal needs a dedicated practice facility for him to show that (because we sure aren't seeing it now). But unlike other schools in California, we can't have any practice facility for less than $125 million. It will take a few years to raise that, maybe longer if we continue to be the worst P5 team, which we will because Fox needs the practice facility to demonstrate his "Number 1 coach in player development" chops. Catch 22. Even if we built the facility in 3 years, you still have to give him 4 years to develop players using it. So 8 year extension, right? Longer for every year the money isn't raised and work doesn't begin. There is more to coaching than wins and loses.
Invest and attack!

Ben Braun now channeling Greg Papa's refusal to admit the kill shot has already been administered.
Let's have Braun and Fox change jobs. Then, if Fox's broadcasting is as awful as his coaching, the mute button will solve that problem.
I'm 95% sure Troy Taylor would do better as OC.
Pepper has a motor that won't quit, and what an add for the Aggies in T Johnson.
I was always taught defense is about heart and desire. Anyone can play defense. Ags beat Oregon State last year.
