Having flashbacks to the 1990 @Irvine game tonight which was also right before the holidays and not many cared. Come to think of it, why did we play both USF and Irvine on the road?


Damn, that's a scary flashback. Went to Irvine on a Tuesday or something. Then back home for a day or two, flew to Hawaii on Christmas Day. It's as if Mike Williams scheduled that Irvine game. Made zero sense.

I agree with Monty about Kelly not looking 260 pounds. I think they listed him at 225 to 230 in high school. How did he cram on another 30 that fast? He doesn't look 30 pounds heavier than his high school photos.


Are we gonna do this all year? Dude is 260. He said so to me himself. And I have stood right next to him. He really is 260. He just carries it really well.

I bet Zion doesn't look 280 when you see him in person.


I went to one of Zion's HS games in Spartanburg and so far two of his college games and he looks 280 but a totally different kind of 280. Like a The Rock 280. Is hesrd he was flabby in HS but there's nothing flabby about him now.

If there's any good news shooting wise......in the Fresno State fiasco CAL hung close to 60% for about 25 minutes or so and then regressed finishing at 49.1%.*** Tonight we're sitting at 36.7%.

***Man, that shows we really had lousy D.

Got to love SJSU's scout on us. Stay in tight defensively, let us shoot a ton of 3FGs because we will always settle for them. Take your chances we won't get hot. So far, so good.

Shocked Monty is back for the second half of this. He's a real pro.

I'm pretty sure that the sugar plum danish at Starbucks is just cherry. Let's win the basketball game.

I coached our school's 8th grade girls rec basketball team, when I was in 8th grade, myself. I was terrible. But I wasn't this terrible.

Brutal first possession and a deep, semi-contested 3FG.

Well, the government shuts down at midnight, which means I can stop working in about 54 minutes.

And he does - nice steal on first defensive possession (helped that the pass was atrocious).

All Roman needs to do is defend and rebound and he'll get minutes

This is bad.



You have pretty good recall, right? I remember the WSU game from 94-95 that Cal lost at home to dip under .500 that they led (I think by a lot) late in the second half. I also remember an OSU game during Braun's tenure (a loss) with both teams finishing in the 40s. For a long time, I thought those games were the biggest monuments to excremental basketball that I could remember. Several games this year have made those games look like basketball clinics. Tonight's installment deserves special recognition given that abject sh#ttiness of the opponent. Unbelievable how bad this staff is.

Don't want to jinx him, but Kelly only has 1 foul.

Roman is wide open standing in that short corner. But they don't want to pass to him, and he doesn't want it.

Roman impersonated Grimes in FSU game prep. Word is he played really well, too. Earned these minutes tonight.

Definitely pulled away when Ivey went out. His cheap foul was the game changer.

Roman makes mistakes on defense and reaches too much, but I like his athleticism and hustle

Hopefully he gains confidence from this as we need him this year

Totally agree with Monty - McNeill alone on right side. They don't look at him. Paris needs to be aware of that and get him the ball for a heat check.
