I wonder if Ted is going to drop any Irish comments. Matt is a BOD Dragon.

Reasonable goals for today:

+ be competitive for at least a fair portion of the game
+ not implode or come otherwise unglued

Exceedingly low bar, but that's where we're at right now.

Lars does know his backboard angles. I'll give him that.

KAB has abandoned his post (If you would pardon the pun).

I'd say we're hanging by a thread (if you would pardon the pun).

It's only fitting that the legendary BI in game discussion thread went out with a whimper like this instead of a bang.

I think it's time for the "post game takeaway" thread.

Cal only down 34-28 with 3:38 left in the first half. Not too early to make the call:

MORAL VICTORY!

We have 2 assists to their 11 in the first half. We are going to get annihilated in the 2nd half.

The Zonies are giving 50%. If they play at 20% of their capability in the second half, our Bears might have a chance.

We had a couple of bad possessions but from what I saw in about the last 5 minutes of the 1st half the Bears actually looked pretty solid. Zona hit some shots that we didn't.

38-29 at the half. Cal playing decently. I'm taking the bag off my head for a little while (also makes it easier to breathe).

Askew, okay he monopolizes the ball too much, but at least he shows a little attitude and fire out there. Sometimes I wonder if he's about to explode though (like after the U$C game). Just out of curiosity, I wonder what his relationship with Fox is like so far.

Yeah, some guy on the Arizona bench (student manager or towel boy or something) was scrolling through his social media and laughing... during the game. I'd fire his azz, but maybe they relaxed the rules for this game only. Like a mini-vacation game.

Bears only down 59-52 with about 10 minutes left. Actually playing pretty well. Honestly, if we had played this well in 4 or 5 of those "tomato can" games, people wouldn't be asking "paper bags, please" when they go into Trader Joe's.

Wildcats only up 67-57 with 7:44 left. What says it all, to me, is that those effing Arizona fans aren't even yelling "U! of! A!" because they are so embarrassed that we're playing them halfway close.

Bags off! Go Bears!

It doesn't change any of our fundamentals - Fox sucks and needs to go. But to be fair, they did look and play much better today. There were any number of things that were good. They just got beat by a better team.

Okay, we faded a bit at the end, but the headline for this one should be:

"CAL TRAVELS TO TUCSON, RUNS UP 68 ON ARIZONA"

this was CAL's best game of the season. For the players sake, I hope they win the next one.

looking at the box score (didn't see any of the game), it seems like Lars and Askew played very well. The other starters also had a solid game.

I'm sure Brown contributed to AZ's poor 3 point shooting with his good perimeter defense, but your senior PG should not have 4 turnovers (otherwise Cal's turnovers were low which is progress)

I don't think we want Roberson to take 4 shots either (unless they are at the rack)

His last shot was at the rack: He tried to dunk straight over a U of A big and got reverse-posterized. However, I appreciated his bad intentions.
