Watching video of Brown walking so excitedly to the locker room is just pure joy.

Smith had Cal playing the right defense on that last play (yes, in part, because it worked. If McDonald makes that three pointer, then, well, I would have just said it was a great shot - not that defense was off)

not allowing McDonald to drive left was YUGE ~ great defense and coaching!!

Great way to finish PAC-12 play. So happy for this team but particularly the seniors. Way to hang tough Bears. Good things await this team.

Achilles heal all year came back to bite the Bears ~ poor interior passing & bigs just missing layups!! Other than that great effort by the Bears.

Like to see less of Sara on the floor ~ negatives out weigh the positives too much.

This finish will be a good evaluation of Charmin's coaching chops.
How do you like those coaching chops??

GO Bears!!!

I am so happy for the Bears and for Brown!

They won shooting 29%! What!?

Beating a ranked team on the road after going 2-15 in the conference. That is called never quitting.

McDonald was getting her points from the free throw lane and from layups. Hasn't shot well from outside .

I sure got tired of the refs rewarding McDonald with charging into someone and then giving the defensive player the foul. and finally it looked like we might get the same call and they called a charging foul on Leilani.

They hung tough down the stretch. Freshman looked great.

So only two Bears in double figures - Green with 17 and Brown with 10 (of course, as they say, none bigger than those last two - it also was only her second field goal, the other being a three pointer in the first half).
Cal shoots, ahem, 30.4 for the game (28.6 in second half). Zona shot 36 for the game, but only 23.1 for the fourth. Zona was 1-16 from deep.
17-27 from the free throw line. Zona was 17-22. A few more made free throws for the Bears might have made this not as much of a nail biter.
Cal outrebounds Zona 42-34. Second chance points were Cal 10, Zona 1. (Does Brown's putback count as a second chance point?)
Each team with 15 turnovers. Zona with 12 points off turnovers and Cal only 8.

Bears win with grit and determination.

GO BEARS!

and, Mr. Male Announcer, this was not the last game for the seniors.

And the play to get West open was also well chosen and executed! It created the opportunity for the Brown heroics.

McDonald was 9-11 from the free throw line. 4-11 from the field. That last shot was only her second three point attempt for the game.

Luv it and EXACTLY what I was expecting to see. Big game for the players and a big game for the staff and Coach Smith!!

McDonald was 7 for 20 against Stanford and 0 for 3 in three point land.

So it was good to see her shoot from outside instead of drawing a foul.

Friday Arizona beat Stanfurd, today we beat Arizona, therefore we are now better than Stanfurd. Fact!

If memory serves, the last one was at Louisville at beginning of 2015-16 season? Or was there a later one? When did we last win at Stanford?

Of course, this was before the Pac-12 became a top-25 minefield; you play a ranked team practically every weekend!

Cal (& Charmin Smith) needed a upset victory like this. The Bears could not make a basket down the stretch again but neither could the Wildcats. It was mostly a game of free throws until Jaelyn Brown scored the game-winning put-back.

The seniors should be grateful for the four freshmen that led the team today. I noticed that the freshmen provided the energy vs ASU, too. The seniors have not contributed much lately [CJ West, Chen Yue & Sara Anastasieska] except for an occasional burst from Jaelyn Brown. JB has been getting into foul difficulty early and having to sit many minutes. Today-she picked up two fouls in the initial six minutes and sat out the duration of the half.

This is the third conference win for Cal and they have all been on the road...GO BEARS!

There are very few teams that just flat-out play hard for an entire season, especially when they are losing. Great credit to Charmin and the coaches, but also to all of the players. Some real fire and family chemistry there. Thanks also to those who played hurt and kept coming back. More concussion protocols than I can ever recall.

Exactly...this team played every game with true heart...hard to do when losing game after game. The experience gained by these road warrior frosh will be significant as Charmin et al continue to rebuild this program into a contender. I really enjoyed cheering for this team this season...today's win was the cherry on top.
