8-7 Cal. 15:51 to go in the half.

JOJ!
If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band

What hell is going on with Cal sports? This is awful, even if we come back and win.

This is not good. Blacksher two missed threes then throws the ball away. Andrei back in.

Embarrassing lack of effort so far. Looks like team would rather be elsewhere.

So does this year's squad all hate each other too?

Too dark to work on sprinklers but if we still suck at the under 4 I have to get to the Pharmacy before it closes.

I have had hoop tickets since 1987. If it wasn't for Goff and the Lions I'd run away from home. It breaks your heart. I dig, Nando, however.

Down ELEVEN. 7:12 to go in the half. Fumbling the ball. Cornell's ball.

Braun keeps saying the TOs are "uncharacteristic" => I wish

Cal gives up 3 or 4 offensive rebounds until Cornell finally makes a 3 from deep. Sigh.

Forgot they were playing. Tuned in to watch one minute of us turning it over twice and allowing 4 offensive rebounds and three 3pt shots ending with a deep one for a 13pt deficit. Abysmal.

I know we stand around on offense, but if we're going to stand around on defense this will be a new low, even for us.

Let's play with some anger and heart.

Curtis is in - looks like Madsen is looking for someone other than JOJ who wants to play.

That is 8 consecutive halves where the defense is lacking.

We have NO 3 point shooters of note. The bears are so easy to game plan against. <Sigh>. Go See SCT Jr. on Fridays and then drive up to Tahoe. Why come watch this?

There's been what, one game this entire year where the defense has looked serviceable?

Yes, the D was very tough against Mercyhurst.

I'm still trying to figure out how we're getting worse as the season progresses. I definitely did not have this one on my bingo card.

Wild speculation - Madsen and the other coaches have been stressing certain defensive positions and actions and now the players are thinking too much, instead of playing.

It is that the Bears are ridiculously easy to scheme. You play a 2-3. Big guy in the middle to contest our quick but soft PG who are not really great interior passers. Dare the shooting challenged Bears to beat you from three (we have thrown some SERIOUS bricks up). Meanwhile on D rely upon our slow footed 4 and 5 and just run hedge screens and pick and pops.

I really, really, really want to believe Madsen is the answer. But down 18 to Cornell at halftime with 13 TO's is beyond embarrassing.
JimSox

13 TO's to 6 for Cornell

He needs to go. We have to stop hiring based on nepotism. Montgomery couldn't get us to the sweet sixteen or NIT championship like Braun did and yet we put him on a pedestal and accept whatever he says. Madsen? Your player? Sure we will take him.

Both football and basketball need to hire from outside to bring in a winning culture. Get winning coordinators from B1G/SEC and ACC for football and basketball respectively and change whatever the heck we are doing.

Might be a bit early to fire the coach.

I think the Bears also forgot they were playing tonight.

Just cannot believe how many dunks and layups we give up playing man defense. Can Dort and Sissoko help out and at least force them to make another pass?
