Is St Thomas any good? Otherwise looks like on paper we're neck and neck with St Thomas after one half. Gonna be another long year…yay
I realize we don't have all the pieces tonight, but still was hoping for a better start tonight
are 1/2 of the lights off? viewing on PAC12 stream and it looks dark?

A lot of work needed on the defensive end for the Bears
We've struggled to defend the 3 for three decades
It's our brand and that hasn't changed, sadly.
A classic case of a lower division team that has played a ton together against a team that really hasn't played more than a scrimmage against other players. If we correct for lack of pressure on the 3pt shot Cal should win easily.
I'm just following on gamecast, so I don't see the action. What about the other Jalen (Cone)--seems like a very quiet half for him--what is up with that?
I don't think we need too many halftime adjustments. The Tommies aren't going to be 8-14 from 3 point range again in the second half.
We got this.
We got this.
Pretty clear that this team just hasn't played together for very long. I expect huge improvement during the season.
Wow, what a great little halftime short on Cal hoops history. Huge recruiting tool there. Reaffirming the importance of football success, too. Bravo to whomever put that together.

The Tommies are playing some good perimeter defense. Cone hasn't had much to work with in terms of space.
Tommies were 19-14 (9-9) last year in second year in D1 - and lost in their conference championship to Oral Roberts.
Without Tyson it was never going to be.calfanz said:
Glad to have basketball back, but this doesn't look like a 20 win team
They were also the first team to move directly from Division III to Division I a few years ago.ncbears said:

He had a good look from 3 and missed (stroke looked good), and then he had another look from 3 that he forced and shot was an ugly miss.
My WAY too early take. I'd rather have Pavlovic play point than askew. He's the better defender and pushes the ball
Bears look better overall, much better. They haven't played together very long. St. Thomas is a good team. Bigger, stronger, faster, and more length. Looks much better overall. Also like the faster tempo. What @#45SHOW the last 4+ years were. Fardaws is a force. Celestine also looks much better.
Hope Newell is just a hyperextension and nothing serious.
Go Bears!!

Grant walking gingerly
Kennedy with a soft cast on his hand. Hopefully just a bad sprain

Time to see the Bears put together a run

He looks very uncomfortable. Massaging his left thigh just above the knee. Limping back to the locker room
The piss poor crowd is a factor. Nothing to feed off of. Gotta earn the crowd with some wins though.
at the 16Minute timeout:
Askew is 1-5
Cone is 0-3
Askew is 1-5
Cone is 0-3
There have been several plays where the Bears have made an extra unselfish pass to wide open players. That is a positive sign.

Agreed. Was hoping for visible improvement from Askew. Not yet. I like Pav's energy.
I can't get over how bad the lighting is. You should not see freaking shadows of players on the court. It's worse than high school. Not acceptable.
Askew has to start hitting some shots…1-6
Are we this bad?
and now there appears to be a lid on the basket cal is shooting at
Celestine is carrying us on his back
Pavlovic needs to start. He's the glue.
Pavlovic looks GREAT!
Camera angle and in the nosebleed section absolutely sucks.
The broadcast sucks.

so this is what a healthy Celestine looks like?
