Chopper circling campus for the protests.

Just left Disney Hollywood Studios .. heading back to the hotel to watch the game

Go Bears!!!

GO BEARS!!!

Rytis & Dorsey in

Fullerton playing like they're on meth. This is crazy.

Ilic with an airball......whoops..

22-12 at the under 12.
Cal has cooled - from 7-9 to 8-16. But 8 assists on the 8 made baskets! Once again the second line has shown it is a drop-off. Illic fumbled a great pass. Don't know if he is truly healthy yet.

We are getting hacked on the way to the hoop no calls

6:08 to go first half - Cal 30 CSF 20 - so basically even since the first media timeout.
Cal has been a little sloppy - Pippin got picked twice and Ames just lost the ball on a drive.
And Cal now has only 10 assists on 11 made baskets...
Cal defense seems to be better - although helped by CSF 1-10 on three point shots! But, I'll give Cal credit for maybe only letting CSF take poor 3 point shots.

Petraitis and Pippen each have 4 but otherwise it's still the Ames/Camden show - each with 11.

This is the highest tempo game I have ever seen. I'm a bit worried about Pippen as he seems to have the "me first" tendency, yet is less impactful as Andej, who also had that problem. That can really mess up an unselfish team, so I hope Madsen keeps it in check. Having Scottie hovering like Peja doesn't help. Ilic shouldn't be playing if he's hurt. He's a bit of a liability with slow processing speed. We should be winning by 20 right now. Petraitis is having a good game and drew at least one charge which wasn't called but dang, his deep shot looks ugly. Maybe shoulder still hurt? Ames is on fire but needs to follow his shots. On d, we need to rebound and box out better, and we're giving up way too many open 3 looks (a Cal specialty).

and just after I compliment the Cal D - they give up an easy basket.

Maybe Bell gets going.

And after I complain, Ames makes an excellent defensive stand and takes a charge.

I don't know what to tell ya...........

Tell me not to complain on just a single play!
At the under 4 - (3:30 to play) Cal 36 CSF 24.

outside shooting has really cooled to 6-14, 43% But I suspected it would have to cool down.
What I want to see is the hot shooting Bell that I thought Cal was getting.

His form doesn't look really good.....hopefully he works it out.

Fullerton is awful on offense but relentless, and also aggressive on D. Still, we are getting away from fundamentals on offense. Sloppy

At the half! 42-27 Cal.

We can't fall in love with shooting 3s just because we came out hot

Get the ball to Dort

He should be a tough guard for Fullerton and he's shown the ability to pass out if they collapse

Not much of a protest. Pretty calm and quiet when I walked by Zellerbach at 6:15pm.

Pippen's decision-making could be better.

Dort has only taken 2 shots (well, 3 if you count the one where he was fouled).
Illic only has taken 2 shots as well.
Cal hasn't yet needed the post game - (only 14 points in the paint out of 50) - but, Cal is going to need that inside game as the season continues. It's too early to be forcing the ball into the post - but Cal looks to have a height advantage.

Just sloppy. Good timeout, but I don't like how we're playing this half. I do feel like we're one superstar away from the tournament. Maybe it'll be Ames, but then we need someone else to be a contributor. We have some strong pieces. Camden, Dorsey and Rytis, Dort too. But Bell has yet to shine. Dorsey may be my favorite. Incredible D. Semen is all over the court. Feel sorry for a guy with a name like that. Had an even funnier named guy in high school, but it's just unfortunate.

Rytis hurt?

Bell forced and ugly 3 that hit the top of the backboard but Ames gets it him and he hits a wide open 3

Just what the doctor ordered

Good for Dorsey!

So Dai Dai is our certified go to

CAL 15 Assists for 21 makes. Keep it up Bears!
