PrintHey folks, it's your open thread for Cal's annual visit to Pauley Pavilion and the fULCA baby bruins. Here's your broadcast info:
Cal Bears @ UCLA Bruins
Saturday, January 29, 2009
Pauley Pavilion, 7:30PM
TV : Comcast Sports Net Plus
Radio : KYOU 1550 AM
Stream: http://www.justin.tv/probono
The Bruins have lost 2 of 3 to fall out of 1st place in the Pac-10. Losses to Arizona State and at Washington have shown some chinks in the Bruins armor, and if they fall to the Bears tonight, they'll have lost to the top 3 teams in the Pac-10, and that will no longer include them. The Bruins don't have the inside presence they had last year (thank GOD that Kevin Love is in the NBA), and I think the Bears have the guards to compete with the Bruins, though whether a banged-up Randle can really slow down Darren Collison too much remains to be seen.
Myself, I remain skeptical of the Bears' chances. We'll give the Bruins a game, but I'm going to probably need a few drinks to get through tonight, which is why I'll be watching the game down at Triple Rock in Berkeley with CBKWit (among others). See you tonight after the game!
Oh, and if you're still not yet fired up, perhaps this will angry up the blood:

'zona blowing out udub
69-55 with less than 10min to go…
I can't remember the last time I saw a team that was so good at home and so horrible on the road
It’s especially illogical when one considers that their key players are all veterans.

Is this on channel 40 on Comcast? It claims the Sharks game is on?

I'm still learning BBall
but I’m starting to like it so I’m tuning in if I can find out what channel it is and do my CS170 homework at the same time!

With David Wagner
Trying to do some Big-Oh calcs and Divide and Conquer algs right now
In other words, Go Bears!
hmmm.. don’t remember wagner when i was there. my prof was papdemetriou (sp?) and all i remember was working on fast fourier transfers. was not one of my favorite classes.
Wagner is good
He was the grad student of Eric Brewer (founder of Inktomi) who is funnily enough my CS169 prof right now.
There are about ~300ppl in 170 this semester b/c Wagner is teaching it compared to a guy called Rao the past few semesters.
I don’t know where Papadametriou is…
In other words, Go Bears!
Brewer was awesome
one of my favorite profs… i had him for cs262 my final semester
Yea he's a nice guy
He’s pretty enthusiastic (the only ones who were more are: Wagner and Dan Garcia for 61c) and he canceled all discussion sections (good thing b/c mine was 8AM!)
In other words, Go Bears!
Dumb question but...
Why do basketball coaches wear suits – something you don’t see in football?
In other words, Go Bears!
They must keep their style classy and pimp hands strong

Is it just me or..
Does Jorge lose the ball too many times? I don’t know much about basketball but I noticed it near the end of the OSU game and right now

He's done that in Pac-10 play
he was much better about TOs before conference play..

PChris driving against 3 guys
has a bunch to kick it out to, instead turns it over. Microcosm for the night so far.
That's like 4INTs in first half in football right?
Maybe Cal will pull a Kevin Kraft and win in the 2nd half
In other words, Go Bears!
After all these turnovers and missed free throws, we’re fortunate to be down only 8.

Yeah
it kinda shows how bad UCLA offensively in the half court

I really don’t see that. His problems have everything to do with decision making.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Trust me
His quickness isn’t there…
I actually don’t think he’s turned it over as much as Robertson, Boykin, Christopher (how the hell does a C/PF strip you face up?)

Randle has 5 of the 16, Theo has 3 and the other two have two.

I don't know how he prevents TOs like the last one
when he gets double…gets banged… and gets no help
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
by Thoroughbred on Jan 29, 2009 8:31 PM PST up reply actions
well...
Defense I think was pretty good. If it wasn’t for fast break points off of TO’s, UCLA wouldn’t have many points.
…on the other hand, that’s the worst offensive half I’ve seen Cal play all year.
just a horrible game all around

Where the fuck has Theo been the last few weeks? I don’t remember him even shooting

Theo has always been pretty tentative but he’s taken it to a whole new level.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
It's gotten to a point now
where you have to think something is wrong… maybe his old injury or just a big loss of confidence
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
by Thoroughbred on Jan 29, 2009 8:32 PM PST up reply actions
I think lots of guy have been active
actively making crazy passes and dribble drives that end in TOs
Turnovers
Galore.
Yikes! I’m just glad it’s within striking distance.

Ball handling is a our achille’s heal. It dooms us in the OSU game late and also first half of this one. Can’t afford to give other teams that many easy fast break points.
by LEastCoastBears on Jan 29, 2009 8:26 PM PST reply actions
It’s not even ball handling. We’re just standing around in the halfcourt set. Of course we’ll turn it over if we’re not moving.

What's crazy is that our TO/Pos rate is very good... top 30 in the country iirc

Wow, no field goals from Boykin, Theo or PC. How is Cal not down by 20?
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I don't think we got much luck catching this team after
these losses…
UCLA has really turned up their intensity from that Washington game
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
Wow... you're really going to call that contact after all the no calls (both ways) in the first half?
You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
The refs let UCLA play their active aggressive defense the way Howland likes
And then called ticky tack fouls on UCLA late when the game was decided to even it out. Homers. Just like allowing the Shipp over the backboard shot last year.
yeah, I wrote about that last year
ucla sucks…except yesterday wasn’t about the refs. We got killed. Not much more to say.

word.
on both offense and defense, come to think of it. Randle couldn’t deal with the pressure d, and couldn’t keep collison from getting layups.
Stanford-USC down to the wire
USC up 3 with 1:05 left.

I actually had some fun with this one
My sister goes to fUCLA and was at the game so i was telling her repeatedly how fUCLA fans suck. “You guys are the second best public university in the U.S., and the best you can come up with is having all of your cheers spell out your name? You guys all got at least 2100s on your SATs! How the fuck can you not think of something more creative?!?!?”
she didnt respond to that text.
In general i wanted to vomit because cal was playing sickeningly bad basketball, but after awhile I was just having so much fun insulting my sister and fUCLA that this one didn’t hurt. Oh and Drew Gordon gives Twist a run for his money in terms of greatest comedian ever. I kid you not when i say i rewatched that 20 times.
This is my last game, I don't care about my body.
Dude, I didnt come anywhere close to a 2100. I feel so stupid now!

But you still probably got higher then Drew Gordon
The best part about watching that replay so many times was the magnificent sound of the rim denying him.

It seems wildly unliely that I got a higher SAT score than Drew Gordon.
