Fardwaw is a terrible free throw shooter
We were ahead 64-60 then went 0-3 from the line while Stanford went 6-6. I thought we had no hope after that.oskidunker said:Bearprof said:

He makes them in the first half of games but as he tires starts missing in the second half,n especially late in games. He is still the best center we have had in a long time. Unlike Lars, he has good post moves
The box score does not credit Celestine for a block. The video (2:52 below) does indicate Aimaq did disrupt the shooter and force him to try a harder, up-and-under shot that deflected off the backboard. That hard deflection makes it look like a block.stu said:
Does anyone have video of the last 7 seconds? Did Celestine block the shot?
The entire south end of Haas was 100% jam packed with students, from the court to the very last row, and even the corners.Johnfox said:
Attendance: 8,710
Felt like more than that
Thanks for that. I didn't realize how close that last shot after the rebound came to going in, though it looked like it was a tenth of a second late anyway.SpartanBear20 said:The box score does not credit Celestine for a block.

The worst thing about the call is that unless on replay you see an obvious mistake the play on the field/court stands. The refs went at this in twos for minutes and could not determine if he invaded the cone of silence, and then had to get together probably to get their story straight. My point, if it takes that long, it is not apparent on replay so discard replay and go with the call on the field. My impression last night was every ticky tacky call went against us, but then you often feel that way in games.bearister said:
Casey needs to shut his little whiny b@itch pie hole.
The replay shows each time Grant was straight up not leaning in.
I'M CALLING FOR A HAAS INSURRECTION IF OVERTURNED!

Tyson being out may catalyze the team. Celestine waking up for sure. Cone got ripped off
I wil admit I don't understand the cone/cylinder thingy as it puts the D at a decided disadvantage. For example, offensive player on the wing, facing the basket, but the pass is behind hm so he keeps his feet and torques his body around to catch teh pass of his left shoulder. Of course, any defender worth his salt is gonna reach out and try to deflect or steal the pass. By rule, that defender just entered the cone/cylinder even if he never touches the offensive player, So, when the offensive player catches the ball and rotates his torso back towards the basket, and initiates contact, that's a defensive foul?OdontoBear66 said:The worst thing about the call is that unless on replay you see an obvious mistake the play on the field/court stands.

too be fair, if you watched Cal's last 3 breakaways, the shooter took plenty of steps towards teh layup. (Looked like they were 'enforcing' NBA rules for traveling.)HoopDreams said:
Playing that video in slow motion their PG clearly took 3 steps and maybe even 4 steps and the second shot didn't get off in time
Real time I couldn't tell
What a crazy game
I thought for sure they were just going to award possession to Stanford, and I was going to be annoyed at that. When they changed it from offensive to defensive foul, I was like "of course this is what they're going to do"... it was just so fittingly Pac12 officiating.Big Dog said:I wil admit I don't understand the cone/cylinder thingy as it puts the D at a decided disadvantage.

IMO, they took so long last night they clearly had no convincing evidence of a foul on either player. Should have just waved off the whistle and 'play on'.
as bad as teh Pac refs are, unfortunately, we are gonna be at a huge disadvantage on the road next year. Getting calls at the Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor?

Still have the excited vibe this morning - Thanks Ducky for a great recap. Energy was amazing and Madsen is such a positive force. Players really enjoy playing for him. Off season is huge for the staff to rebuild and keep the improvement coming. His effort and round the clock commitment will produce the program results, we all hope for.ducky23 said:
Just a few thoughts
- Tyson is such a warrior. Guy has so much determination and passion
- Kennedy battling thru off ball screens chasing around Carlyle. Forced him into a lot of bad shots in the 2H
- Newell had a rough defensive stretch for a bit. But he regrouped and made some ballsy plays down the stretch. Love to see him play with better mental toughness
- Celestine taking over once Tyson went down. Love seeing him play with more aggression
- Jaydn Ott walking around Haas like the mayor of Berkeley
- madsen looks so good in the blue and gold tie
- I'm so happy eastcoastcal got a taste of what haas used to be like
- genZ confused on how to storm the court after beating your rival in the last seconds of the game. Maybe shocky can give a decal class
