I think Solomon has the hot hand right now...I don't think they can stop him inside..keep feeding the big man.

but it looked cool to the home crowd.

Osu shooting 63% and 7/8 from 3.

Down 10 actually not that bad. That type of shooting is not sustainable, not even for the warriors.

Cal just needs to bring a little more energy and we will get back in it.

We are clearly tired. Short bench. Get out and get home. 2-1 is a fine start.

No way, you gotta beat OSU ...

+1. Wtf?

How do you miss the over the back call? Solo was shoved about 10 feet.

Honestly the conference needs to fix this. It is simply random. Basically they call random stuff so it is about even more of the time but it is awful.

With P12 officials you always need to take the foul comparison into account. OSU has been fouling almost every possession and they've called a lot of them. So down the stretch there we were already well into the double bonus and they were barely into the bonus. P12 refs will always swallow their whistles in that situation to even things up. Sucks but it's always been the case.

What's with Cobb scoring zero points in the first half? Has that ever happened before? I hope Monty lights a fire under his asz and gets him to be more aggressive. Both him and Matthews go from gangbusters at Oregon to spectators tonight. They need some talking to during halftime.

They are being aggressive. It's just not working today, probably because of fatigue. Cobbs is 0-4 missing on his pull-up every which way, Mathews 1-6, his one being a layup.

These fouls are getting out of hand.

The refs are calling everything against Cal. Amazing we are only down three right now

Well since Osu is now in the bonus at 15 minutes I would guess we can mug them the rest of the way. SMH (well not, but I hate our conferences officials)

You can see Monty is getting frustrated with the randomness. The foul Nelson drew when the Bears were fighting for the rebound in an all time Class Pac-12 call.

Powersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Having Jeff set up on the wing and then getting the kick out is money. We need to do that a LOT more. Cause both Wallace and Cobbs can take their guy off the bounce and both can make that dish.

Really happy our Bears are showing heart to claw there way back.

Okay Bears pull away!

p.s. yeah WTF is with all the fouls

My main man Tyrone!

Cagey Cobbs. He's good at basketball.

Powers is doing it off the bench third three. Matthews only two points tonight number four for Powers

Super powers!!!!

At this point, they should consider covering Powers. Go Bears!

Powers!!!!

you can't stop Powers, you can only hope to....

Splash.

Goooooooo BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Crap! Grraah called exactly this at halftime.

Life feels good again! What a turnaround in the second-half Monty did a great job. They really ratcheted up the defense.

And now Jeff Powers draws a charge. Get this man a cape and call the league of justice. Clearly a man with SUPER POWERS is missing ;-)

What a difference a day makes Matthews is one of seven

Behrens is also doing a good job off the bench tonight.

That hustle and steal from Wallace was awesome!

Interesting cut to commercial

Wallace is seeing something in Nelson's handle; had a would-be pick earlier too.

Nice job by Monty to make second half adjustments .....
