left to right, tyrone "the captain" wallace, kameron "putback" rooks, jordan "en fuego" mathews, roger "the chaser" moute a bidias & sam "grand theft larceny" singer...ivan "oaktown" rabb not pictured as he was doing interviews & patiently signing autographs near the cal bench after the game for the young ones
gameday started on an ominous note as the bears rode in a luxury coach bus 1000 yards from the hilton garden inn to the ugly azz concrete dome of doom...yeah i walked in laramie's 29% temps with the sun on my back to the arena with my jimmy john's ham & cheese sandwich (extra lettuce & tomatoes, no chips, cookies or soft drink)
and then josh adams (who constantly talks/whines the whole game) starts knocking down shots from all over the court to get the yellow clad wyoming crowd amped up...sitting in the 1st row behind the cal bench both marcus green & myself yelled at the refs the entire game re: adams illegally pushing off with his non dribbling hand/forearm to create separation
the bears employed multiple guys trying to slow down adams & the most effective chaser was roger "lion king" roger moute a bidias who utilized his length & quickness...roger is in a very good place right now playing within his skill set in defending at a very high level, crashing the boards for potential rebounds & knocking down the occasional wide open 3 point shot
jordan mathews endured a cold shooting afternoon but crucified his soul in overtime to lead the bears to victory with ice in his veins moneyballs with ivan & jaylen already fouled out in regulation
t-wall once again kept the team together during the cowboys runs & scored 23 points on 10-22 fgs, 6 assists & 6 boards
jaylen brown is frustrated right now, his body language is a little bit off, but i expect him to continue to mature & play thru this rough stretch as an incoming freshman...a little meditation with a focus upon visualizing positive outcome is all brown really needs
i saw & heard the postgame handshake line conversation between coach martin & coach shyatt (who like his star player adams also is an insufferable bitchy queen) and i'm not gonna tell you what shyatt said but there's absolutely no reason for the cal basketball program to ever return to laramie anytime in the next decade or two
them california golden bears competed & stayed together as a team in crunch time...now if they could only make a simple entry lob pass to young ivee but that's for another day...the magnficient 2nd half lob from t-wall to ivan which resulted in a 3 point play should be model gameplan play for this season

Was what Shyatt said that bad that you can't even say anything specific about it? FWIW: It absolutely did not look anything like that in the body language of either of them. Of course, Cuonzo, being among the wisest men on the planet, could very well have just not taken the bait, and let Shyatt morally hang himself.
