Because someone has to start it

Bears need to wake up, another slow start.

7 minutes tick by and we have 4 points… I've never walked out of a game in disgust in two decades but…

That's our calling card.

Finally made our first FG eight minutes into the game!

CAL shooting 6.7%.

First set play looked nice. Everything since then has been awful. I don't mind Stojakovic taking tough shots, but Campbell really shouldn't be trying to split defenses for head-on contested layups or attempting fadeaways.

This really irks me (esp when I still saw Blacksher in the starting 5):
Blacksher
Minutes played: 352
Points: 136

Wilkinson
Minutes played: 312
Points: 186

Why does Madsen have this unreasonable loyalty to Blacksher, he's reading the same numbers, right?

Doesn't matter which guard is in there, can't stop the point of attack at all.

This isn't rocket science:

- We are taking hard, I'll-advised shots
- They are converting easy, wide open looks at close range

Andrej hasn't been out.

What the hell is this? Give me a refund.

The SMU vs Ga Tech halftime score today was 50-19… is that where we're headed? 2-21 FG shooting right now (9.5%!!)

This is a BAD defensive basketball team. The lack of rotation on the high ball screen STILL remains a horrible weak spot. VT watched film. This is what Mizzu ran all second half.

Oh and shut down Andre with a high double team. Get past the box score - we are a POORLY coached team.

This is a real azz whipping. No Cal offense, no Cal defense.

19? We'll have to get hot.

Someone needs to end it. Put us out of our misery.

I really can't believe Madsen is comfortable putting a product like this out on the floor. This is ridiculous. They look like an 8th grade team. We're small, slow, and play dumb, selfish hoops. Our bigs have almost no impact on either side. It's embarrassing.

Sometimes I wonder if we're point shaving.

Forgot that turncoat Brown Jr was on this team. Really don't like losing to NIL deserters. But I guess it's a league full of turncoats, now. 4 assists, 2 pts and 3 boards for him already.

Cal shooting 12.5%, VT 61.9%. Ouch!

9 out of 10 on FTs, so there's that.

I know I'll get more heat from the band apologists, but last game it was one band and zero cheerleaders, today's game it's zero band and 5 (count 'em, 5) cheerleaders. What's the excuse this time? Big Game? Bowl Games? Previous engagements? Outlook calendar got screwed up? School starts Tuesday, not buying that one either.
Pathetic show of non-spirit by organizations with the sole mission of supporting athletics.
If they can't get excited enough to show up, why should alums and other fans?

Mahoney the only one with a pulse right now.

So many times they double the man with ball at top of the arc, and Cal has not passed to the wide open rolling screen man. How are they not seeing that this man is unguarded time after time and instead passing around the arc?

OK, we covered the We're Not THAT bad spread. But I'm not celebrating 23 points, either.

Jet lag????

How did no one notice clock ran for 20 seconds on inbound with no one touching the ball??? Refs? Hello? Coach???

Like Steve "Hedake" Smith, ASU?


*He once made a half court shot at the buzzer in Tempe to beat the J Kidd helmed Bears.

16 percent shooting, who's getting fired

if not for our women's team, this season would be very depressing. The women are really good and fun twitch as they rain threes.

Playing for the last shot while 19 points behind.
But, hey, we're gonna be an ACC powerhouse!!!
