THE MADNESS: Cal vs. Maryland Open Thread

California vs. Maryland, 11:55 AM PST, CBS, Kansas City
Fox SportsCal was an early-season surprise, beating Utah, Arizona, Arizona State and Washington en route to a 15-2 start. But the Bears have gone 7-8 since then, including a loss to USC in the Pac-10 quarters in which they were outrebounded 53-27. They're a great 3-point shooting team without the toughness to match.
No matchup epitomizes the mediocre nature of this N.C.A.A. tournament more than Maryland versus Cal. Each is well coached but not particularly talented. Look for Maryland to win an ugly game that no one should go out of their way to watch.
Difficult game to pick. No doubt Cal can shoot and has faced and beaten some good teams (Washington, Arizona State, Utah). But I like the Terps in a close game because: *Maryland's defensive pressure and general intensity makes them no fun to play, particularly when you haven't encountered the Terps before. *The Terps have gained confidence as the year has progressed and were feeling good about themselves after the ACC tournament. Their play in that tournament suggests that they're a different team than they were in January. *The ACC is so rugged that it prepares you well for nonconference opponents, provided you've had a little rest.
Kornheiser says we're going to get our brains blown out. 63 percent of the country thinks we're going down. And about a thousand other columnists, beat writers and what-not have Maryland going on, maybe even upsetting Memphis.
We get it. The ACC is tough. The Pac-10 is weak. Maryland is getting better and better. Cal is stumbling in like an Irish on St. Patty's Day morning. Vazquez is the next Ginobili. Randle isn't tough enough for the big strong Terps defense. East Coast>>>West Coast.
Guess that's why we play, huh? GO BEARS.

Does anyone else remember 2002?
When the 6th-seeded Bears were the trendy pick to be upset in the opening round vs. Penn in Pittsburgh? This kinda feels like the same thing.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Were you in Pitt for that game?

Is that a serious question? Have you followed Cal football?
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Apparently not, because that team is all about not meeting expectations. Sorry, it’s been 7 years since Holmoe, let’s get over the fact that Cal is better than it was prior to Tedford.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Though, I really do think this team can do big things this season.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
i’m not so optimistic about the 2009 football season like most people. i think we’re a 8 win team.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Age and time bring perspective. For my first 30 years as a Cal fan, an 8-win season would have been considered a gift from God.
That’s touching. But how many years of 8 wins will suffice before perhaps Cal should expect more?
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Offense and passing game in particular should be better. Defense may regress a bit but soooooo many starters return.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Well, do hope and pray to Tedford that the OL and passing gets better, but there are NO guarantees.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Could the passing game have been that much worse? Moreover, the offensive line wasn’t THAT terrible and it was killed by injuries.

The passing game could stay about the same. If it does… 8 wins might be a successful season. the OL wasn’t that bad for run blocking, in fact they were actually pretty good, but pass blocking was pretty bad.

so who are we losing to other than USC?
by oaktownmario on Mar 19, 2009 2:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Cal has enough talent next year to WIN 11 games. But it’s a matter of execution. Our execution usually makes us lose 1-3 games each year.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I think 8 wins is my pessimistic low estimate of the 2009 season. I could see us doing 10 wins though too.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
but like i said, if our passing doesn’t improve, then 8 wins is probably a more realistic expectation next year.

by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 19, 2009 2:21 PM PDT up reply actions
Fair enough
But shouldn’t we “expect” our passing game to improve? We have a fourth year QB, a number of senior receivers with experience under their belts, a pretty decent and experience offensive line, and a couple of phenomenal running backs. Add to that a QB/offensive guru for a coach, and I think we’re completely justified in significant expecting improvement in the passing game.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
of course we can “expect” our (insert whatever) here to improve. Does it always? No. Shit happens. Shit could happen to us.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
sure.
injuries could happen. But if we’re healthy, we should improve. If we don’t, there’s a problem.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
i’m not even talking about injuries. I’m talking about not-improving. People take improvement for granted, but i don’t think they always should.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I disagree
with the ingredients we have, our passing game should be better than it was last year. If not, we are basically saying that a pretty mediocre passing game (what we had last year) is acceptable when we have a 4th year qb, experience receivers, an experienced line, great running backs, and a renowned offensive coach. If we have a bunch of injuries, fair enough. But if we can’t get a good passing game with the above ingredients, something is wrong.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
There’s nothing to disagree about.
I’m talking about people making assumptions which favor them too often.
You’re talking about our specific team in general.
We’re talking about two separate points.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
To clarify,
usually a bunch of returners = more refined/experienced/improved play = more success.
However, this doesn’t work it the returners aren’t good or they’ve maxed out their potential
So, are you saying the returners aren’t that good (as a whole) in the passing game and in other facets of the football team?
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
yeah, i agree with your first paragraph, and second.
I’m not saying anything in your third paragraph. My point is this: sometimes things don’t improve. That’s it.
I’m not saying things won’t improve. I’m not saying it’s illogical not to expect things to improve given all those factors named by CBKWit. I’m just syaing, sometimes things don’t work out and that people often make assumptions in their favor (even if the evidence favors them), and it sometimes doesn’t turn in their favor.
Things may improve! I hope they do! But will they? I don’t know.
Every single year, dozens of fans of teams expect improvement – and it never comes. Some of those teams fans were just overly optimistic. Others just had bad luck. We could have bad luck, although evidence supports our optimism.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Yeah, that’s all i’m saying. I agree it should. But it may not. And if it doesn’t, then i think 8 wins might be a more realistic goal of a successful season.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
that’s the one thing that drives me crazy about preseason predictions. They love to use the “more returning starters = success 4 sure” logik. Not if they suck (see FUCLA)!
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
I agree. Preseason stuff is pretty much purely based on how many starters are returning. The reason is because those sports writers have nothing else to go on but the assumption that “returning starters = improvement.” That’s a fair assumption, but like i’ve been saying- it doesn’t always happen.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Do you think (the writer’s) just don’t pay attention enough to recruits who come in (to fill empty positions) or to underclassmen who excel in practice? Are they just focussed on the key ~30 players that play every Saturday?
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
Both.
Well, they probably don’t pay attention to incoming recruits. But even if they did, it’s hard to project how productive those freshman will be.
They probably don’t pay much attention to underclassmen either. So yeah, they probably just pay attention to the key 30 players that play every Saturday.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
I mean, it’s hard to keep tabs just on one entire team. But to keep tabs on 50 teams so you can put together a pre-season Top25? That’s ridic. Those sports writers probably only know a decent amount about 3-4 select teams and are just guess-working the rest of the field.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
So I really odn’t read too much into pre-season polls.
They’re good for publicity and sitting high in the rankings (since moving up is much harder than moving down).
But they’re bad b/c you can get held to unrealistic and unfounded expectations.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com

by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 19, 2009 2:58 PM PDT up reply actions
pepole always assume the best. people always assume “oh well get better in X area b/c we’re returning X starters.” The best doesn’t always happen. Some assumptions will fail. I’m just trying to stay realistic here. I’d love for us to improve and have all of our assumptions fulfilled, but life doesn’t always work out that way.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Fair enough. Cal has the second-highest winning percentage in the Pac10 during Tedford’s time, though – so unless your expectation is that we surpass USC…
I outworthless the Maharg.
I guess you would have actually had to suffer through dozens of 3-8, 4-7, and 5-6 seasons to be able to really appreciate having consistently winning seasons. It’s kind of like my parents stories about growing up during the Great Depression. I could hear about it, but never really feel it.
I experienced 1-10 seasons. So yeah, I know how bad it can get.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Even younger, actually. My Dad went to Cal during the Pappy Waldorf era (he attended three Rose Bowls when he was an undergrad). In fact, my parents went on their first date at Memorial Stadium in 1954. (Cal lost, by the way.) My mom’s father graduated from Cal in 1914, and Boalt in 1917, and was at Memorial Stadium on its opening day. So, I can’t even remember a time when I wasn’t a Cal fan.

I don’t get that. If a poor team plays poorly, it’s not fun, but hardly devastating. If a great team plays poorly, it is. Devastating.
but at least with a great team there is hope of turning things around. a poor team has little to no hope.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
The way I see it is at least with a poor team, you don’t have expectations that aren’t coming close to being met by an underperforming team. It’s more aggravating knowing my team can play better than they are playing than to accept that the team isn’t that great and just celebrate the little things like they’re big things.

Montgmry has to get an assistant that can coach defense

I really don't know what else they could've done
Because I thought our halfcourt defense was good; our offense just coughed up the ball and led to easy points. Randle and Robertson committed way too many stupid turnovers. MD got way more fast break pts than we did.

I feel compelled to point out that someone posted the Jason Kidd Sports Illustrated cover on this site last night. I’m not saying that the loss was entirely his fault, but posting the only Sports Illustrated covered upon which Cal has ever appeared was certainly tempting fate, at the very least.
Besides the two actual Cal covers (Kidd and Muncie)

I didn’t know how Maryland won games coming into this game. Leaving it, I still don’t know how they win games. They didn’t even look like a tournament-quality team. Yet somehow they scored 50 points in a half.
Maybe the fouls were really bothering Cal’s defenders and that’s why they were playing so soft in the second half, I don’t know.

Cal sucked!
I am pissed. I can stand losing. I actually expected us to lose. However, the way we lost was pathetic! Didn’t come out to play right from the opening tip. No blocking out, not stopping ball on transition defense, not ready to shoot – just a general lack of intesity and desire. Wow.
I, again, would like to go to my favorite theme: How is next year ANY different than this year? Monty hasn’t done an impressive recruiting job, not at all, thus far, and so next year we will have more of the same.
Excuse me while I go flush my head down the toilet.
And who were those refs? God, they were AWFUL! Both ways! Nothing ruins a good basketball game worse than shitty refs! Unfortunately, this was not a good basketball game….
Maybe a better question is “how was this year different than last year?” It doesn’t require speculation.
Answer: this year was a thousand times better thanks to Mike Montgomery. So, tough loss… but great season all things considered.
Absolutely true. Last year’s team didn’t even make the tourney. My comment was not based upon the entire season. It was based upon today’s game, which did suck, you have to agree.
And my point about next season refers to a bark I’ve been making all year long – Monty needs to bring in the recruits, certainly for the future in general, but in particular for next year. He’s got a core group of players, but he is lacking that one big wookie. I’ll agree it’s asking too much for him to bring in a big center who can start right away – those guys are few and far between and if you do find one, he’s likely one and done. Braun’s effort to find that guy landed him a wasted scholarship offer in China.
Still, this team next year is going to make the tourney and may even win a game. But we did not hire Monty for that. We hired him for Elite 8’s and Final 4’s. I understand the man has only been on the job for less than 365 days and agree he’s done a hell of a job. But the Big Time ain’t gonna happen with this crop of players. Instead, we are going to watch them graduate off, and hope that a new batch of recruits at some unforeseen point in the future can be our future.
Mike Montgomery is 62 years old. We can see that the the promised land is nowhere on the roster – not with any 2009 recruits, not with any 2010 recruits that he has signed so far. If he could somehow get that 1 player needed for this team to play next year (center) then we’d be having fun. But, at this time, we are hoping he fills out the roster with a whole bunch of really good 2010 freshman. They will take, say, 3 yrs to mature. Which means we could be 4-5 seasons away from getting back to THIS level. Monty will be 67 then. How many years do you think he coaches for? Till he’s 72? That means he’s got a 5 yr window to bring to Cal what he brought to Stanford.
See what I mean? I know this is a very dour outlook, but there is also a fair amount of reality buried in there. Look at the roster, project it out to what is on it or committed so far, and tell me otherwise.
I actually expected us to lose.
I am absolutely shocked to see a statement like this from a renowned optimist like yourself.
Seriously, dude, is the glass ever even 10% full with you? I’ve never seen someone who loathes a team he follows so much in my life. It’s a real downer.
