Way to go
I think Smith read your preview because Cal shut down Nye and Barker - 9 points between them and no made three pointers.Schroeder71 said:
Cal played close to their best tonight to squeeze by #19 Alabama. Bears held their turnovers down to 15 (5 by Suarez). PG Kayla Williams was the MVP tonight. She has asserted her offense bigtime in the team's best two games of the season: at Gonzaga & Bama. She also held her TOs to two! She needs to contribute to the offense more often because she's capable.
I predicted 70-67 but was off slightly (69-65). HUGE VICTORY! GO BEARS!

I wasn't at game tonight (just returned for long trip) and tuned in after first 5 minutes. Just in time to see Michelle with 2 fouls. My pregame keys to the game was:
1. Turnovers
2. Michelle stays out of foul trouble
Neither happened but what makes this team special is their balance.
I think Alabama (and all opponents) number 1 priority is to get Michelle in foul trouble.
Alabama then prioritized stopping 3 point shooting from Ioanna and Lulu, but that opened up Marta's drives and Kayla's offense.
Yes Marta had 5 turnovers, but this game she also had SIX assists. She is our alpha that you need on every team.
Michelle's play in the last 5 minutes shows what a huge impact she has on this team
I also think Noble made some huge defensive plays. Without her I'm not sure Cal would have hung on. Gabrielle has been a good surprise and has a bright future.
Great win!
Can't you get that info from your better half and give it to us?wifeisafurd said:
Furdies lost in OT to number 5 LSU as part of the ACC-SEC challenge. Thoughts on how Cal matches-up against Furd in the upcoming game?
Furd was leading that game in the final seconds - by 6 with 40 seconds to go. (after leading by as many as 15 in first quarter)wifeisafurd said:

Charmin looking majestic! As my sports-minded brother said 10 years ago, "Look at that demeanor; she should be a head coach."CalWSportsFan said:
