More games. More madness. Discuss the games and your slowly combusting brackets as Round of 32 action kicks off (Cal's game seems so far away). You can also follow most of the action online on CBS MMOD.

Randle, Robertson, Christopher Carry Golden Bears To The Second Round

33 comments
The California Golden Bears have faced many tests this year. But the only thing missing from this season was a signature win against a nationally respected opponent. They finally got one Friday night.
Cal stormed off to an 18 point lead early and battled off every rally by the Louisville Cardinals Friday night to triumph 77-62 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This earns them a date with top seeded Duke in the final game of the second round Sunday at 5:20 PM EST/2:20 PM PST.
The Big Three charged us to victory in this one. Patrick Christopher got Cal going early with three triples and 13 first half points. Jerome Randle bridged the gap in between the starting and closing runs, including a highlight worthy buzzer beater that deflated the first half Louisville run. Last but definitely not least, Theo Robertson played clutch, going on his own 8-0 spurt at one point in the second half and hitting the clutch 3 late to stave off the last Cardinals comeback.
It was a valiant effort from an undermanned team. The Omondi Amoke issue could've easily undermined the entire tournament run, and the Bears could've gone into this game with a doom-and-gloom mindset. But it was clear from the opening tip we weren't getting that team, and it's been pretty clear all year long this team is not about doom and gloom.

Cal Torches Louisville, Moves On To Face Duke

It was a true team victory for the California Golden Bears as they led wire-to-wire against the Louisville Cardinals. Patrick Christopher got us going early. Jamal Boykin was steady. Jerome Randle stuck a dagger into Louisville at the end of the half and showed only some troubles against the press. Jorge Gutierrez shut down whoever he was on (Smith? Sosa?). Theo Robertson showed off his pro skills in the second half and cut down every Cardinal rally. And big old Max Zhang closed the door.
Big game, big effort. Savor this one Cal fans. It's time to face the Dukies.
Bigger recap coming in the early morning hours. For now, discuss.
1. How did Cal handle Louisville's matchup press defense?
2. Who was your Cal player of the game? Louisville player of the game?
3. What was the most pleasant surprise of the game?
4. What did you think of Montgomery's strategies?
5. How does Cal match up against Duke?
