We are a very bad shooting team.

Maybe so, but our offense is not getting shots or the open looks we are getting are off target by just about every one

Paris is just going to have to drive and make something happen

Paris isn't finishing. He's taking bad shots and not involving others in the offense. This is the problem with this strategy.

---

the worst on the entire west coast for sure.

How are these even collegiate players? This is a high school score and a high school display. It's unbelievable.

Grant and South rattled

Less about our shooting and more about just not getting any clean looks. Every shot is a low probability shot. Even the best shooters aren't gonna make that work.

Play Kuany Kuany. At least he hit a shot. Play Klonaras and tell him to shoot. He can't be worse than 0-7 (South) or 3-12 (Austin). Grant looks scared. Wide open 12 footer and he air balls it by 3 feet. Unbelievable.

Just give the ball to Matt and let him run people over. I hope the guys coming in next year can shoot.

We may not break 30. Crazy.

Paris plays poor defense.

I honestly can't remember a game with so many missed shots from 3 feet or less.

Unfortunately I can remember quite a few.

Color guy makes good point. Cal holding UCLA to way below their scoring avg

Lars repeatedly gets beat on the baseline. Normally, not allowing the baseline is a fundamental rule for big men.

You have to sit Grant and Paris at this point.

Why are we walking the ball up? Why are we not pressing? Is Fox already throwing in the towel?

And yet, we are slowly crawling back.

Like DJ's toughness but he needs to finish these shots right at the rim

Grant + South + Paris = 16% from the floor (4 for 24). Makes it tough to get the W.

I said we needed to

Rebound well - done - out rebounded good rebounding team by 2

Play defense- done - held UCLA 15 below their average

Win TO battle - fail - 2 more TOS than a turnover prone UCLA

2 out of 3, missing third key by only a little

But I didn't expect the horrible shooting by everyone

We had enough open looks, but Grant and South lost confidence and no one had a strong game to make up for it

Bradley and Paris kept us in game for a half, but UCLA defense adjusted

I think we beat UCLA at home but they aren't coming to Berkeley this season

Unfortunately, most of best jucos are already taken.

And pickings are very slim elsewhere.

Ed Gray was, of course, exceptional.

Well we have a week until Stanford at Haas.

According to the pregame write up on this site, tonight wasn't a must win. Phew!

Pretty sure no game this season is "must win."

Bob Marley easily loses a few mph on the break because of the hair. Plus, he likely doesn't have the best lungs.

LOL! We were calling him Little Marley in Section 126, as well.

(start at 0:00)

memories.....

Back from game but on phone so brief...we had so many open looks and failed to hit. I thought after matt hit his first three he might find his stroke but he was ice cold and not close on several three attempts. Low energy crowd. Bruins are also a bad team as they adjust to Cronin.

My only exposure to cal hoops are these threads. Used to live or die to see us play. It's really bad.
