I have no comfort level left. I had to leave town after placing a credit bet on Cal vs Cougs and getting 13.

i think road games will continue to be a struggle

I think we have a better shot today. Wazzu is trending up.

Good positive talk here. Will you place the $100k and take Bears and the 8.5?

This game is going to break the PREV button on my remote because of the Niner game.

can we handle their aggressive zone
I think we will have a problem with it

Closer camera angle than Haas.
As someone pointed out, Cal has lots of company in the empty arena Dept.

In my mind's eye I saw Clayton's Trey as a scud.

Grant is going to be such a solid piece for the Bears. He has great instincts.

cal exploiting the donut hole of the zone with lots of mid range jumpers

I forgot Wyking is on the Fusky bench. I think the sighting is triggering for me.

Man I would like to stick it to Wanking Jones… I like what I just saw, the Bears are playing like a team that believes it has a chance. Big improvement over the 1st half of the year. I should put the disclaimer in my signature, though, Fox should be fired no matter how many wins the team gets from here on.

cal getting open looks from 3, but just not hitting them

only 4 turnovers, which is great, but expect UW to turn up the heat in second half

we are out rebounding them

Grant, Lars and Clayton playing great, but lots of contribitors including Bowser with 4 rebounds, Roberson with 2 nice assists ... with a team like Cal, it's the little things and the role players who need to contribute with defense, rebounding, assists and being secure with the ball

Fox needs to win 6 more games this, his fourth season, to win more games than Wyking did in that second season that got him fired.

A Fox sighting will trigger me when I see him on an opponent's bench, but I digress, at half Cal is running the table in all stat categories except 3 point %.

When I see Fox on the other bench I will double down on any bets for Cal, the Fox handicap will be a big boost.

Maybe this game discussion will pick up now that you can stick a fork in Pete.



*I hope the You See Berkeley promo before resumption doesn't jinx us.

Joel for threeeee

When can I start to hope? Who is this team?

I am enjoying the color announcer. He is funny.

Playing better team ball than any Fox coached team I can remember!

Okofor is quick off his feet

Offense is dumb the last few minutes. Joel needs to be at the top so when we swing it to the corner, the player there can shoot. If Joel is in the corner, there is no need to close out on that shot.

Lars also needs to have better shot discipline. A 15' jump hook is NOT a good shot. We are really lucky he didn't get the ball stolen when he put it on the floor too. Okafor needs to play more. Lars less.

Newell is having a hell of a game. We need him in the middle of the zone to knock down that mid range shot. When they go man, we go pick and roll with Okafor and Clayton. They are switching the high pick and roll so Clayton should get a decent look or Okafor will have a small guy on him.

I would take it at Brooks and draw fouls on him. He is their best player IMO and getting him in foul trouble could be key down the stretch.

Joel Brown!!!

Joel with some nice steals. Defense is causing UW issues.
We need some serious work on our press break and OOB plays.
Joel should shoot free throws underhanded at this point.

cal in a danger zone

lots of time on the clock

as i said before, i hate the slow down game

So Newell has been killing them all game with the shot around the free throw line against the zone. So what does Fox do? He puts Lars there. Lars catches it and misses the shot, which leads to a transition wide open 3 for them. I don't get it.

Hang on Bears, 68-70 points wins this game

It's called getting scared and revert to what you know

Let's go Sam!

Poor coaching. Big shot by Alajiki. I don't think we can play Brown at the end since he can't shoot free throws.

Good sign when we have consecutive TO and Fuskies come up empty both times followed by Sam's 3. That ain't the Cal script we all have memorized.
