Great to hear that they came through on the road. Congrats to Lindsay and the team.

Beating OSU means the tourney and a likely second place finish in the the Pac.

when they announced the women's score. Was announced before but Cal was trailing then.

Bouncing back and forth from the WBB game to the MBB game it sounds like the women kept extending the lead as the game wore down. Every impression of an improved effort. Big win.

Cal played lackluster ball in the first half and trailed often by 5-6-7 points to the Ducks. In the second half, the team seemed to regroup and play with much more intensity down the stretch of the game. It didn't hurt at all that Oregon doesn't play much defense (yield most ppg in conference). Cal scored 90 in Berkeley and blew up to the eighties last night. Is ten three point baskets for Cal a record? Clarendon carried the offense last night but especially in the first half to keep the Bears in the game. Brittany Boyd was the *under control* orchestrator of the offense, too. Great victory.
GO BEARS!

1. Larish was involved with the offense in the first half.

2. Oregon doesn't match up with us very well. Their type of offense is just what the doctor ordered as we like to run and we have better athletes. No half court standing around.

You keep mentioning someone named "Larish"--who is that?

Anyway, perhaps she was just having a bad night, but it seems that the Bears did a good job on Amanda Johnson as well; she usually scores at will, or close to it.

Agreed with SR71too BB played under control! Like her 8 ast, 3 TO, and shooting only 7 times and not jacking up 3 pt attempts. If she plays like this and leads them to a 2nd place finish she still could be FOY. Next game Gibson vs Boyd showdown of freshmen. Lets sweep the oregon schools..go bears!!

10-20 from 3 point land! 62.5% from FT line! Are we talking about the Golden Bears who are last in Pac-12 in 3 point shooting and almost as bad in FT shooting %?

Wow. Hope this game signals a change for the better in those two important areas. The Beavs will be tough even though Furd creamed them.

Yeah, and Rashanda did that in only 19 minutes! Imagine what she could do if she played 25-30 a game?!? She and Gen would be fighting each other for rebounds!

I'm not sure if the great 3-point shooting was an anomaly or a sign of things to come, given that Gen went 1-1 from 3! She is now 100% for her career in 3's. Imagine if she added that as a regular part of her repertoire; she would be unstoppable! That makes Talia and Justine the only 2 current players never to have attempted a 3.

Schroeder, I looked at the record book, and it seems that 13 is the record for 3's made in a game, set against Long Beach State in 1995. So, while 10 must a record for games in recent memory, it is not the all-time record. (In that LBSU game, they were 13-23, which is over .500; unreal.)

For those advocating a more assertive role for LC in the offense, this game certainly proved the point. It was like having a whole different weapon with which to attack more. Not only from the outside, but also in having LC move more into the paint and along the baseline. LC is also showing that she can be up to the task. And this greater assertiveness would not take away from the team concept. It would add to it, opening up more space for others as defenses would have to take notice.

I'm as happy as the rest of us at our offensive production against Oregon, but keep in mind that's a weak defensive team. From the Pac-12 web site:
http://www.pac-12.org/portals/7/images/wbasketball/2011-12-Stats/HTML/CONFLDRS.HTM

Scoring Defense: #12 (about 15 points/game worse than the median)
FG% Defense: #11 (about .020 worse than the median)
3FG% Defense: #12 (about .050 worse than the median)
Rebounding Defense: #12 (about 8 reb/game worse than the median)

Oregon looks much better in two other defensive stats:

Blocked Shots: #4 (about 1/2 block/game better than the median)
Steals: #1 (about 2 steals/game better than the median)

Some of these are less significant than they appear due to the larger number of possessions per game, but they also come from a less-than-prime-time schedule.

Go bears!

You're darned right that it seemed like a modern day record. I wonder who the dead-eye three-point specialists were in 1995. To be honest, I don't know if I was following women's bball that far back. GO BEARS!

You're welcome. I would've sworn 10 had to be the record (I had the same thought during the game), so I just had to look. I didn't have time to dig up who the players were on that team, but I'll see what I can uncover. That certainly pre-dates my following of Cal WBB; I had hoped maybe you would know who they were!

Dug out one of my precious dusty media guides [for the forseeable future extinct?? DARN!] only to find individual game stats weren't included in the good old days. Counting front and back covers 96/7 edition was 82 pages long, so guess liberties had to be taken.

For the season we held 3S conference shooting places 5th and 6th, 38 and 37%, by Kelley Tatum and Patrycja Czepiec. From outside the team shot 33%, 135 of 408.

The conference best that year was not quite 44% (38 of 87) by SC sharpie Erica Mashia.

Recently for sure, though I haven't tracked down what other changes may have been made over the years, the m/w three point line moves away from the basket.

Below is whistle-blowing proof from public service wikileaks, ummmm, nope, that's not right, oh yeah, quoting from wikipedia instead:

In college basketball as well as in most high school associations in the United States, the distance is 19.75 feet. On May 26, 2007, the NCAA playing rules committee agreed to move the three-point line back one foot to 20.75 feet for the men. This rule went into effect for the 2008-2009 season. The three-point line for women (NCAA) moved back one foot to 20.75 feet at the start of the 2011-2012 season.
