Cal vs. Ohio State Men's Hoops Open Thread

Yesterday, we had a disappointing loss against Syracuse. Troy Nunes Is A Magician had this to say:
Forget LeMoyne. Forget the preseason rankings (or lack thereof). Forget everything you've been hearing. Syracuse is a good basketball team. And for all the excuses that you'll hear tomorrow (It's like a home game...Theo Robertson was out..), Syracuse absolutely dominated the No. 12 team in the nation tonight. For Syracuse fans who have been suffering through football season and had to deal with the LeMoyne blowback...tonight's win over Cal was a lot of fun.
I couldn't pick Troy Nunes out of a lineup of one if he was wearing a "I'm Troy Nunes" sign, but I'm not liking where they are going with this Beating Cal was fun!??!?! I swear they are the worst Cal fans ever! I guess that would explain why they purport to run a Syracuse fan blog. Much of their story continues not to check out, so let's keep an eye on them.
But don't worry, t's OK, because our own newspaperman, Jeff Farudo, can put things into better perspective:
– Jerome Randle scored 25 points and was 5-for-9 from 3-point range. The rest of the team was 1-for-11 from beyond the arc, including 0-for-7 by Patrick Christopher, whom Monty defended, saying the Bears didn’t allow him to find any offensive rhythm. Christopher wound up with 12 points, six of them in the final 5 minutes, long afer the outcome was settled.
But hope spring eternal. Not only do we have the Game Of Moderate Proportions tomorrow, today we have a chance to redeem ourselves. Today we face off against a dangerous Ohio State team looking for its own redemption. Their completely unTroy Nunes-related SBN Brethren We Will Always Have Tempe had this to say about their loss to UNC:
Ohio State paid for its lack of bigs tonight. The moment Lauderdale got in trouble, Madsen simply couldn't keep up. I didn't expect him too, I guess, but it just helps to reaffirm the fact that this team will struggle mightily against good inside teams.
Firstly, I can't even begin to imagine what We Will Always Have Tempe even means. Second, lack of bigs you say? Sounds like we got a puncher's chance! Farudo has his OSU preview here. Let's keep Oregon State as the only OSU we lose to on a consistent basis! Game starts at 2 PM PST on ESPN2. GO BEARS!

Yeah, without Robertson we really only can stretch the floor on one-side. With Randle, PChris, and Robertson out there, it is really hard to play zone (imagine how many open shots Robertson could have had in the last few games.) He also is a better passer than our other players. If Jorge can hit the corner three, and Robertson is back, we will be tough to zone.

If California is to make noise in the Pac-10 season
Their big men have to step up on the rebounds, move their feet, and not pick up cheap fouls. Also, the guards need to help out rotating on defense.
I think Boykin is the most overrated player on the team. Yes, he’s a hustle player but besides that what else does he give he does not have a consistent jump shot, he picks up cheap fouls, and is not a good ball handler!

should be underrated. His version of defense is to put his hands up and let a guy run into him. There’s a reason why he left Duke, he stunk he would have never made it off the bench except for blowouts!

Anybody else have to laugh when
Bob Knight had stated that Patrick Christopher should have been called for an offensive foul on his layup? In actuality the man who was on him was underneath the basket trying to sell a charge. Last time I checked wasn’t the new rule it’s an automatic blocking foul if a player is in that circle? So in actuality again we get a non call which should have been a three point play opportunity.
by Rocky63215 on Nov 20, 2009 4:11 PM PST reply actions 0 recs
There is
no circle in NCAA rules. So your checking is wrong – NCAA refs are supposed to call an imaginary circle.

Questions
Love this blog. You guys do great work.
FSU plays OSU soon and I’d like to get your thoughts on some stuff.
How banged up are you guys?
Do you believe you are the Pac10 favorites? Is this because you are really good, because the Pac10 is down, or some combination thereof?
I missed the game, so…
Their 6’7" point guard, the real deal? How is your backcourt defensively? Good size? What defense did you play?
Thanks and please cover against Stanford this weekend.

Really banged up. Theo Robertson and Harper Kamp mean a lot.
We have a team that could win the Pac-10 because of our experience and guard play, our downside is no interior. The Pac-10 is down for sure. Harden, Gibson, Pendergraph, Collison, Holliday, Brockman, Hill…. all drafted, all getting playing time.
Turner is freaking legit. He just needs to play a little smarter.
The furd is getting pwned please spell it right.

How banged up are you guys?
Two of our ‘glue’ guys are out, which hurts us because we’re not very deep. A lot of minutes today had to be covered by players who are either not talented enough or not ready.
Do you believe you are the Pac10 favorites? Is this because you are really good, because the Pac10 is down, or some combination thereof?
If I had to guess around here it’s 50/50 between us and Washington, but mostly cause the Pac-10 is down. This is not a team that would be favored to win the Pac-10 any other year.

Really banged up… On a scale of importance, our #2 and #5 guys are out. (both in the Top 3 of our defenders)
No. We’re only the media favorites because they picked the team that was successful with a new coach a year ago + all key players returning. The Pac-10 is very down from the last few years.
He is the real deal but can try to do too much with it and force things. Our backcourt is both small and depleted in terms of defense. I remember that you guys have a lot of size, which will definitely be good for a slow shooter like Diebler.
It will be our pleasure.

We're
missing our 3rd best player – who is also our best 2-way player and we’re really a jump shooting team, so he helps spread the floor. We’re not very deep and missing 2 of our top 7 players doesn’t help when our margin of “goodness” is thin already.
Pac-10 is WAY down.
We played man all the way – but we don’t have the horses to keep throwing bodies after him (especially with – well, let’s just say we weren’t adjusted to the ref style of calling this game) we have maybe 2 defenders that could give him trouble, one was out the other fouled out.

FSU is the biggest team in the country, and extremely athletic. We’re really slashers and bruisers who play great defense. Not much in the way of jump shooting so far but not as bad as I expected either.

Thanks, you as well.
This is one of our basketball guy’s take on our team:
- Alabi (7’2" Rs.So Center): Lock for NBA lottery this season, barring injury.
- Singleton (6’8" Small forward): Likely lottery pick if stays through 2010-11 season and continues to develop, based on potential/athleticism alone. Vastly superior version of Corey Brewer.
- Gibson (power forward): 6’11 with rare range + athleticism, not to mention new-found defensive prowess (6 blocks and stealing from guards?). Again, lottery written all over him.
- Snaer (6’4" guard, linked above): Very early in career, but seemingly has more than enough tools + attitude to warrant lottery pick. Might have been a high school first rounder without rule changes.
I don’t know if we get 4 lottery picks out of this group, but I’d be very surprised if 3 don’t end up in the lottery.

It could have been a blowout...
But it wasn’t. It really did show that we do play hard, and that we won’t go away. Still, we are living and dying by the perimeter shot. It’s what we all know to be true. Lack of an interior game won’t win games.
It’s easy to forget what Theo means to this team because he isn’t showy like Jerome and Patrick. He is a great defender, another option behind the line, and, though undersized, a guy that can play down low as well.
76-70 is awesome when you remember we were down 52-28. Not our best showing, but hey, really, there is a silver lining.

Thoughts
This mini-tourney was about playing with teams in the national elite. We all were hoping that Cal could become one of those teams this year, even though most of us were not that optimistic. Cal showed that we’re not an elite team, at least not yet. I’m not giving up on the possibility that we can be elite, even though I don’t think it’s very likely.
I’m pleased to see that the team didn’t give up against OSU and almost came back. Hopefully Theo is just as important as these games seemed to indicate.
