our guys are fighting on the road, hang in there and deny those drives to the basket. We can grab this one, or at least cover the spread

Sam looks ticked off at our "great" coach (as the color commentator called him)

Hmmm. 15-2 Cougs run to start the half.

Just tuned in at half after searching for the game for a half hour, Sam get any minutes?

uh oh

Roberson 3-3 with 9 points?!

Obinna also 3-3?

We have looked like the team went 0-13 in the second half.
Let's see if we can rediscover the team they beat Furd to end this game.

We play "The right way "? Askew is a ball hog. He would not help. Good night.

Okay, looks like we are terrible again, but how about those Colorado and Furd games!!!

There's a hockey game on but the Sharks are losing too

64-43 WSU beating the spread

If the Bears don't score again in the last 3:41 they'll equal their historic low vs Utah

Yes, back to '22 form… 2nd halves for Cal, for 90 percent of their games so far, are painful to watch. Fouling out, sloppy mistakes, lack of hustle. I'm baffled on how they can shoot 60 percent FG in one game and then come back and struggle to get 50 points in the next game. What's going on?

well i expected they were going to game plan for clayton

don't give clayton space for 3 point shot, double him against his drives

double Lars as soon as he touches ball

anticipate our non-shooting wings/guards will not shoot, instead will drive so sag off and hunt for charges

depending on lineups go zone

don't worry a lot about some of our players to focus on above. if they score, they will live with it

Well they scored.

66-51 Final. Miserable second half.

I believe they used to refer to that as coaching. Something Kyle Smith knows about.

Pathetic second half. I'm glad we broke 50 because I love Cal!

We are not a short team, but we don't rebound very well...

Threes: 5 for 9 in the 1st half, 0 for 11 in the 2nd. ???

We just got back to normal in the second half. That's the Cal team we all love.

Yeah. Odd. Fox in the postgame radio interview said something about immature decision making in the second half. I didn't quite catch it, but did he say Okafor needed stitches? That would explain why he didn't spell Lars for more than about a minute in the second half. Instead it was Anwanyu, who looked overmatched to me. In the first half Okafor made a couple of poor plays and was pulled immediately and benched for the rest of the half. I didn't like that. I think he needs minutes in order to develop.

I was wondering why Okafor didn't return

here we go again ...

Without being specific about his complaint, Fox added, "We had some guys act very immature. We've got some growing up to do."

They are young, mostly still teenagers. What's his excuse?

I think it was HoopDreams that mentioned Askew looked like he had an injured foot. I may be the only one that didn't see this, but this is the first article I found on the subject:

" The Bears dropped to 0-12 on Sunday after a 71-62 loss at Santa Clara (11-3) in a game impacted by top scorer Devin Askew leaving with a right foot or ankle injury late in the first half."

4thGen posted this today, so it's not a foot or leg injury. when I first saw the injury it looked like a groin injury, but then I read the above post so understood it wasn't. Then when I saw him shooting during pregame, staying off his left foot, it seemed to confirm it was a foot/leg injury

interesting that he was shooting on one leg as I'd expect it to put some pressure on his actual injury

Askew is dealing with a slight tear to the tendon in the groin/pelvic area. And trainers are stressing caution by not rushing him back to quickly. Don't know when He will be cleared. Its not a major injury, but one that still needs full recovery before going full speed.
