Time to get to work, Bears, and prove them wrong.


Utah selected as 2023-24 Pac-12 Women's Basketball favorites in preseason polls | Pac-12

Starting to think that Coach Bryant will be an important key to our season. A different voice, a guy who knows defense and rebounding albeit in the men's game, one more chance to get through to Michelle and to harness her potential. Hope that he can make a difference.

Of note: Today, Tuesday, Pac-12 Media Day......Cal WBB interview will be repeated at 4 pm on the Pac-12 chanel.

I missed it this morning and intend to watch Charmin, Leilani and Marta, to see what they have to say!!

GO BEARS!

During the open practice, Coach Bryant, Eliza, Kiki Russell (new Dir. of Player Development and former ASU player), Ornela and only 1 male player in attendance scrimmaged against the Bears. Coach Bryant definitely made his presence known under the basket and Michelle, Ila and Marta all had to deal with him. He's a big guy.

I watched it. Great interviews by all! You'll see why Marta was chosen to be there. She'll quickly become a fan favorite in my opinion. And, of course, our captain Leilani!!

Coach Bryant was enough of a gentleman to refrain from jumping. Eliza and Kiki used their quickness to make us pay for any mistakes. The male practice player (forgot his name) also made us pay for mistakes by hitting some impressively long threes.

I think there were two male practice players. Both on the small size.

Only one practice player plus 3 staff/coaches and a Cal player rotated it seemed. The practice player was quite a good shot. Student at business student is what I think Charmin said when she introduced him.

It is hitting home as I watch more of these interviews that this is the last season for the PAC-12 and that we will not play many of these teams again in my lifetime. I am sure the novelty of being in the ACC will have some high points. But it is still a sad time for those of us who were raised and lived during this past era of Cal athletics.
