Yeah, we're getting out-muscled again. The league has figured us out, and whistles get swallowed in tournament play. Even if we come back here we're a dead duck against Duke.

Still a good season, given what we had going in. The roster needs upgrading.

I remember back in the day when the games was being played and the announcers actually talked about the game, instead of just talking about anything.

They are covering "the meaning of life" though.

On the bright side, I'm getting less concerned about losing anyone on this roster. {Said mainly in frustration}

Florida State is just hitting threes for some reason. Kobe MaGee is a 31 percent shooter and has four and Lajae Jones is 31 percent and just hit a stepback 3 from 25 feet. Wiggins is their best 3-point shooter and he's 0 for 2. Cal is not playing well, but this is also a matter of FSU just making shots it doesn't usually make. It's crazy.

Team is not prepared. Actually for the last several weeks now. No good strategy to start and no counters when the other team make adjustments. Can't handle a zone when we have shooters this year.

The "reason" FSU is hitting their threes is because our defense is giving them open looks. Basketball 101.

Yeah I understand that but you usually let 31 percent 3-point shooters shoot. MaGee just reached his season high in 3-point makes in the first half. He entered the game 7 for his last 30. Cal has to be better defensively but I'm sure they wanted to let him shoot. Now they have to make sure he doesn't.

8 turnovers to none. 3 for 11 from three. And no defense. Very disappointing.

Pretty pathetic showing for Cal. Nobody to blame but ourselves for not making the tourney this season. A chance to go dancing was pretty much handed to us on a platter and we responded by losing to Pitt at home, Wake Forest, and (most likely) FSU for a second time.


Yeah, this is a pathetic performance by Cal. Really getting our azz handed to us.

Live by the three; die by the three. Bad last 14 min of the half, but we could come back. Will we? Stay tuned...

There is this concept called playing your best at the end of the season. Cal is rarely that team in basketball or football. Depth? This tram is taking it a step further and playing their worst at the end of the season.

Indiana is down 13 to Northwestern halfway through the second half. The bubble is AWFUL this year. And we still couldn't punch our ticket to the Dance because of this end-of-season collapse against a relatively easy schedule. So disappointing.

Hard to deny that FSU is just better than us. We just have too many players that don't contribute much in critical games. Both our offense and defense are really bad tonight.

It's true, FSU is REALLY hot from three right now. They're getting better looks but not that much better.

I hate when players intentionally try to get fouled like that

Can someone tell Dort not to jump on every drive? Stay on your feet! Hold your position.

Milos Ilic is the worst 6-11 rim protector I've seen in years.

And now we are not even trying. Posterized, three offensive rebounds and coast to coast without stopping the ball. Time to reload if this ia the effort we get.

Why Dut doesn't get more minutes throughout the season to develop IDK. He has length and instincts and block shots even tho his is thin and inexperienced.

Dut is simply not good. He gave us a miraculous minute in that Miami win but he is pretty clearly a massive negative when he's on the court.

Now we can't inbound the ball. We're obviously not making the NCAA tourney, but I hope we don't make the NIT. That would just provide us another opportunity to embarrass ourselves. I don't know what has happened to this team; they actually looked pretty good a few weeks ago. Now we're crap.

I don't want to get pessimistic here, but I'm starting to get concerned that the Bears may not cover the 3 points.

He is only player who can block shots other than Dort. That is why he should be developed thru out the season to get better. Illc and Kocanas have no defense and plateaued.

A total lack of focus by coaches and players which gives us our third straight embarrassing loss and ends the bubble-fantasies .

Well coached teams get better as the year progresses. Cal has regressed and even the 21 wins is suspect considering the incredibly soft OOC schedule. Madsen is not the answer but thanks to Knowlton he has until 2030 to prove me wrong.

Can Campbell do anything? Seems like a real liability on the court.

Madsen is the reason this team is even in the bubble discussion

Camden and Bell are giving us nothing tonight. Only Dai Dai and Pippen are playing like they want to win.
