Pretty much a must-win, even this early in the season, no?

Anigwe and Brown each with 2 fouls halfway through the first.
Bears up 13-7.
Bears up 13-7.
Mariya Moore - someone on Cal staff better think of a way to stop her. Unless the plan is to stop everyone else and let Moore try to beat you?
ok. you don't have to defend Moore from 40 feet from the hoop - but she hits anyway.
So #24 for both teams is "Caldwell"
Forbes has definitely found her rhythm offensively in recent games-great to see from the Froshie. She looks great here at Haas shooting the 3 ball
35-29 Cal at the half. stats now shows 36? so maybe a two was changed to a 3?
Anigwe 11/10 on 5of8, and
Forbes and Brown with 6 each
Smith 5
Thomas and Caldwell with 3 each
West with 2
and Styles did not score.
Mariya Moore with 18 on 7-10 shooting.

They may have changed Asha's long two on a break to a three.ncbears said:

Kristine with a double double at the half, still 2 fouls.
Smith's game is so smooth. She is going to be a worthy successor to AGL/Boyd/AT when she takes control next year.
45-31 as Bears start out 9-2 in the third. Scott and Murphy talking about how poorly SC has played in the third - which of course makes me think that means SC will turn it around today. But, not yet. Go Bears!
What a difference two days make. Don't think USC is that much worse than UCLA, although a bit, but the Bears are playing much better through most of three.
KA to the bench with about 2:48 to go in the third and Cal up 51-36
Ok, Mariya Moore with back to back threes (well, with some stuff in between)
Well, KA back in with 1:21 to go... interesting...
Cal up 51-39
Cal up 51-39
West with great pass to AT - then AT to KA, and Cal up 55-39
Cal wins quarter 19-11 and enter the fourth up 15, 55-40.
Mariya Moore has 25 (9 of SC's 15 made shots) , but Cal is riding KA, as usual, as KA has 21 with next highest scorer is AT with 10.

Cal has 14 assists, USC has only 6. We're also beating them on the boards 28 to 19.
ugh, KA sits with 4 fouls a few seconds in, and then Mariya hits another 3.
and, boom, now 57-48 Cal as SC cuts the lead in just two minutes. Mariya with 7 threes on 12 shots? and she's earned most of them. Bears also with a couple of turnovers in the stretch - and not getting back as before.
C'mon Bears.
C'mon Bears.
Everyone from USC not named Mariya Moore are collectively shooting 9 for 26.
Not bad lobs to the post, just random miscues.ncbears said:

So, KA comes back in.... and Mosely
And KA is gone with 5 minutes to go. Sigh. Cal up 59-50
253 to go: cal up 61-54. Cal has had some shots go in and out. West fighting hard. But, still a lot of time, and then there's that Mariya person....
Caldwell with a big shot - but, Moore comes right back with a 3 point play.....C'mon bears
O man, Bears run the clock. Caldwell misses everything and Moore runs down for the bucket and foul. But, Cal clings to 63-59 lead with 27 seconds to go.
We took a couple of premature shots and USC just gave Moore the ball with instructions to head to the hoop. Maybe we should double team her?
AT makes them both - 65-59 with 20 seconds to go.
That shot by Mariya looked good - but in and out - and now Forbes to the line ...
We give Moore a wide open three - which she misses.
Gottlieb's troops once again can't close out an opponent skillfully.stu said:

Palms of victory - 66-59.
Whew.
Whew.
Mariya Moore - 36 points on 13-22 (with 7-14 on 3s) (18 each half). Rest of SC - 9 of 34.
query for those that saw the entire game, is Moore that good (she looked pretty good against Ford) or is Cal D that bad?
