They missed that free throw. Leaves the Bears up 10. Now 11. And that's the final. 86-75.

But would be good to win by 10 or more because of the NET thingie. Up 12 with less than a minute left.

Good call, won by 11.

We kinda got killed on the boards. Good thing we shot well.

Solid 20 minutes by Carr, especially his 4 assists and 0 turnovers. Also Kocanas.

Not even 11am and Cal has a win. Great start to the day!

Solid road win against a team we should be. Fealt like many a trip to oregon state or USC by monty. Grind it out W by generally executing.

O boards just are not having Dort there. Hopefully back by Furd. Gotta win the next 2 to get to March Madness.
Take care of your Chicken

I'd say we have to win every game and get to the semifinals of the ACC tourney to get in, even then it's not a sure thing.

What are you talking about lol if we won 25-26 games we would be for sure in. We probably would be at least a 10 seed. I hope we win out and win in the Acc tourney but realistically for a birth we prob need 4/5 and maybe an Acc tourney win. But it could be less it all depends on what the comp does.

I couldn't watch it live but just replayed the 2nd half. Victory explained in one gif:

I got some friends inside

The ol' game thread sounds a little "different" this morning... a little, I dunno, "saner". Does that make sense?

Is it... a) Bears up the whole way... or... b) drinking coffee during the game instead of booze ???

For me: both!

Winning the next five games means we're 23-8 with a couple of bad losses to weak teams (see Syracuse and FSU). We could easily lose in a first round ACC tourney game depending on who we face.
If you're saying 23 or 24 wins easily gets you into March Madness, then you haven't been paying much attention to who gets cheated on Selection Sundays every year.

I am not saying it is a guarantee but saying that if we win 25-26 games we still wouldn't be in is extremely unlikely. Unless every bubble team does the same we would for sure be in as a 10 seed or above. If we win 23 or 24 we will very likely be in. Other bubble teams will lose games and we are right there on the bubble rn.

Florida State looking to take one on the road from our fellow bubble team, VT. UCLA blown out at Michigan. Bubbly TCU defeats bubbly OK St. Bubble teams Mizzou & Texas line up later today. Lots of churn

Even Cuse and FSU are not that bad though. Road games so those are Quad 2 losses. Winning out probably gets us in with the good wins we have. Not that I'm predicting we will do that.

Yeah it is looking like the opposite of Wednesday. Georgia also lost as well as A&M. Hopefully Ohio State and VCU lose and the two AL WCC teams.

WVU beat UCF things really going our way right now. Hopefully OSU loses.

I guess whatever happens from here, it's great just to be having a debate about the Madness in mid-February. Haven't been this excited about Cal's prospects in 10 years! Winning our next 5 seems like a very reachable goal, these guys just need to BELIEVE! I'm not hearing much from the Madsen-haters today, wonder why
