Fantastic headline and exactly how I felt walking out last night. Charlie Moore was a revelation. He is so fun to watch already. Can't wait to see him play with Rabb and Jabari healthy. Hoping for that Monday.

Seriously. Crazy to think it's his second college game.

I liked this CM quote in the piece: We had no excuses after the game, three key guys out, you have 13 scholarship players.

Granted it's easier to say that after a win, but imagine if Dykes was coaching. He would have publicly conceded defeat before the game even started.

Thanks for this great coverage, Bear Insider/Michael Duca. I was shocked that the East Bay Times only managed a single sentence, from the Associated Press, about our game. I already sent an angry email to their sports editors. (In case anyone else wants to email them: Executive sports editor Bud Geracie - bgeracie@bayareanewsgroup.com and Deputy sports editor Mike Lefkow - mlefkow@bayareanewsgroup.com)

Yes. Dykes would have spent an hour with the game announcers whining about injuries so they would talk about it during the game.

Funny thing about Charlie: the idiot who sits next to me at Haas (didn't see him last night) was yammering all throughout the SDSU game about how Cuonzo wasted a scholarship in Moore, who obviously can't shoot, plays out of control, etc. Wonder what he says now?

LOL.
That's seriously funny color from the arena. haha, thanks!
The guy surely doesn't know basketball. Nobody would have thought 38(!), but I definitely foresaw him controlling the dribble, penetrating sneakily, nailing free throws. I think he's going to be an assist machine in the future. Those layups are gonna be dimes at the rim to Rabb, and Lee next year.

70's and 80's clips are verboten on the Monster board, but this one is apropos in this thread.
Just replace "Judy Garland" with "Charlie Moore". Maybe someone with video editing skills can actually do that.

(The Streisand 70's version clip fit even less than this one... but come on, who hasn't thought of it!)

Charlie's like, "Judy who? Barbra who?"

A step back shot is one of the deadliest in basketball, at least for players who are a drive threat

Not to bash Mathews but I've always felt he needed to add that to his game

The other thing about moores game is his ball handling really makes him a tough guard especially when he has one or more screens

+1

Also, from what little we have seen of Charlie, he is a careful player. Considering how frequently the ball was in his hands, he had only one turnover. And he scored all those points last night without in any way hogging the ball.

Last night, after the first Cal turnover seconds into the game, the guy behind me shouted "Oh God, we're going to lose this game for sure!" I presume he felt that way, in part, because we lost the three starters. He left with about 10 minutes left in the game, missing the come back and Moore's heroics. That'll teach him!

One thing I have learned: never leave the game early. If you are worried about traffic, stay late, enjoy the arena after the game. A lot goes on after the game...

Why Coach M. is a winner and precisely the kind of character we need to look when we inevitably have to replace the clown show over in football.

Unless you didn't know Lee is eligible next year, no. It wasn't worded well but I think his intent was clear.

You let my secret out
Darn, now I won't be able to see the players as they exit the court because too many people will be in front of me

Is including Rabb in next year's team bad wording?

Come on, guys.
There was a comma separating Rabb (this year), and Lee (next year).
We all know who is eligible when.
Unless you are NYC it was worded just fine. Let's not quibble over a bunch of BS - it's no longer off-season and we have better stuff to discuss now, right?

Shut up, Tom. Grammar is important unless you're shocky.
