7 points spread. Hmmm. I may watch since its not an 8 pm game.If Askew or Clayton can walk, now isvthe time to play them. I predict a close game lost at the end due to Brown missing free throws. Benny Beaver taking Oski task.Gill arena( or whatever it is now) will be a ghost town but still better than The Haas of Shame.

The entire planet is awaiting this one with breathless anticipation. Supposedly they had a "media day" a la the Super Bowl at noon and had to move it from the Beaver Press Room to the floor of the court, due to the influx of journalists from all over the world. So far, the third most-asked question has been to the Beaver coach, wondering if he had ever thought of changing his name from Tinkle.

Even non-college hoops fans will be attending the thousands of "watch parties", only if just to see the commercials.

In Oregon, planes full of fans and basketball pundits are, as we speak, waiting for clearance to land at Corvallis International Airport. Oops: Portland has temporarily lost its claim to Most Populous City in Oregon, to be reclaimed, certainly, by tomorrow morning.

Oh, are you guys watching the livestream?!? Gary Payton and Gary Payton II just arrived at the venue!!!

I just can't get the thought out of my head that we need to attack with speed and precision, spread the beavers, and then repeatedly penetrate them. Over and over and over again. Penetrate the beavers.

Alas, our motto is "invest and attack" not "attack and penetrate."

*Someone had to represent the emotional 12 year olds here. There has to be some fun associated with the game.

I think Bill Walton calls it, "Going hard to the hole."

I hope Oski is on the trip and throws a shaving cream pie at the Paytons for old time's sake.

Bears drilling Beaver!

Okafor looked good to me. Not sure why he got pulled quickly.

"Invest and attack the Beavers!" It's working. Bears up 24-10!

Don MacClean:

20 PPG x 4 = All Time PAC 12 Scoring Leader

Bears playing well

Brown breaking them down and making plays

with this scoring outburst, a win tonight and one in the tournament and we have good reason to have MF back for another year (vomit)

That 16 point lead for Cal sure evaporated quickly.

First 5 minutes of the second half….

Yep. We'll be behind by then.

Yeah, I'm thinking it might be tied in the early middle of the 2nd also

It is so much fun to watch a competitive game. When is the last time one of our games wasn't over by this point?

Haha right? What sad is that we are happy keeping it close with OSU. We used to be able to count OSU as a gauranteed win in the Braun/Montgomery days.

One has to change with the times.

Almost every single game this season, we have made 15-20 absolutely CLUELESS looking plays.

Consistency!

Don, it didn't "might have stopped."


*…and I will add that even though it was a bad call, Fox should know his team is not good enough for him to spot the va jay jays the advantage of a technical foul. He is an unrepentant a$$h@le.

Nah - but Joel Brown is on the FT line.

Familiar territory

As a Cal fan, it is too easy to forget that sports can bring great happiness.

If any of you are Premier League fans (soccer), you should check out the end of the Arsenal Bournemouth game today. Pretty cool.
