When deciding whether to wager or not remember that every visiting team playing in Maples is spotting Furd 5 adverse whistle points before the ref tosses the jump ball.

The question is, do the odds makers already take that into consideration?

I think Stanford is on a bad skid and Haase is a dead man walking. I'd take those points if I ever bet on a Cal game, which I will never do.

Cal played poorly the past 2 road games. I hope we activate for Stanford tonight...

Is it clear yet whether it's better for tourney seating to win or lose this game? Or does it not make a difference?

4.5 now

Oregon State went into Stanford and won, so it's definitely possible today. Just got to contain the 3 point line and play like we always do on the offensive side.

Cone needs to take and make good shots. We need to get something from Brown and other reserves. Celestine needs to score in the first half. And it would help if Amaik can be effective and make a few threes

Who's going to the game? I'm just wondering because it would be nice to see some blue in Maples.

If you assume that Arizona will handle the socal teams then you would have to say that we are definitely better off winning. If Arizona wins out a loss would probably push us back to the 8 seed, placing us in the same bracket as Arizona in the P12 tournament. No disrespect to WSU at all, they are a top notch team, but based on our two performance against Arizona this year, I would have to think being in WSU's bracket in Vegas is a better alternative, from both a matchup perspective, and the fact that P12 tournament games featuring Arizona are basically home games for them.

Uh, both games at altitude...Ask any athlete you know who has played at altitude and the advantage against incoming teams. Now admittedly Utah would have beaten us below sea level, but they are both better teams than us (probable March Madness included) and were favored significantly...Playing at Maples is playing a team not so good plus their referees. Toss up

My general fatherly sports betting advice.

• Sports Betting is FUN!
• If you already care about the outcome of a game...don't bet on it.
• If you don't much care about the outcome of a game, do your research and bet on it....it will make the game much more interesting.

End of Fatherly advice.

Damn. Wish I had read this post - about 45 years ago.

Wyking Jones was undefeated there, including his last regular season game as Cal coach,

My stance when your heart is in the game is to bet on your team but bet small.

Last time I was in Maples Pavilion was at this concert after the Joe Roth/Chuck Muncie led Bears clown stomped Furd.



November 22, 1975, Maples Pavilion, Stanford University, Neil Young sits in at a Stephen Stills show. Flo and Eddie opened.

Let's schedule the next game vs Utah is a submarine!

It's called don't bet with your heart. I think the KingFish had a sign on the wall with this sentiment right next to the stool where the bookie sat.
