Cal Basketball Open Thread: Men vs. Arizona, Women at Arizona
Arizona Wildcats at California Golden Bears, Feb 25, 2010 6:00 PM PST
Time: 6 PM PST/9 PM EST
TV: ESPN
Radio: KFRC 1550 AM
Line: Cal by 11.5 or 12.

Injury report: Max Zhang (out, collapsed lung), Kevin Parrom for Arizona will also not play due to foot pain.
"You come back to school, 10, 20 years from now and you were the team that won the Pac-10 title," senior Jamal Boykin said. "That would mean a lot to me. As I look back, the teams I remember the most are the ones that were the most successful."
...
"It's great to be able to break a lot of records, but it would be even greater to build a legacy," Randle said. "Maybe it would put Cal on the map, and maybe when I come back they'll have continued to win championships. Building a legacy starts right here this week."
"Honestly, it would say a lot because we've gone through so much," Christopher said of capturing the Pac-10 title. "I think it validates so much when you do win."
...
"We haven't been shy about our goals this year in trying to win the (conference) championship," [Theo Robertson] said. "This is really now the time of the year where your legacy starts to be defined and written.
Nothing more to discuss about this one. Game on.
After the jump, norcalnick lets you know about the women's game.
The Cal women also take on Arizona tonight with the hopes of winning to set up a more important battle for 3rd place in the conference on Saturday. To do so the Bears will try to replicate their most dominating conference win of the season. When Arizona visited Haas in late January they were promptly run out of the gym. Cal out rebounded Arizona by 15, had a +7 turnover margin, and punished Arizona’s zone by sinking 10 three pointers. Alexis-Gray Lawson had 39 points, nine different Bears scored, and Cal enjoyed a rare twenty point blowout victory with no drama. So what needs to happen for a similar result in Tucson? Here are some quick keys to the game: 1) Win the zone chess match. Previously Cal came in with the deliberate game plan of looking for open threes and subsequently shot 10-28, nearly double the amount they usually attempt. If Arizona’s zone is still collapsing on the inside game, Cal will have to take their chances from beyond the arc. If so, look for Rachelle Federico to again get significant minutes. If Arizona tries to extend the zone past the three point line Cal’s guards will have to attack the lane or get the ball to Stallworth, Brandon and Caldwell down low. I don’t think Arizona is capable of taking both inside and outside away, but Cal must recognize and take what the zone gives them. 2) Whyte and Ibekwe – make one of them have a bad game. Davellyn Whyte (16.5 ppg) and Ify Ibekwe (14 ppg, 11.6 rpg) make up one of the better scoring tandems in the conference, but they don’t usually get tons of help. If both are on their game Arizona can play with just about anybody. Cal held Whyte to 11 points last time and cruised to victory. Take one of them away and Arizona is in big trouble. 3) Run Arizona ragged and get them in foul trouble. Arizona essentially has a 6 player rotation, with each of the 6 averaging at least 25 minutes per game. If Cal can get a few of those players in foul trouble or push the tempo to make fatigue an issue they can put Arizona in a situation where they have to rely on minutes from an inexperienced bench.

How is that not a foul when Boykin went up and yet it’s a foul when Williams catches the ball inside and no one has a hand on him?

Not again with the refs…How that is a foul against us and not a body control offensive foul on the Arizona player is really hard to understand.
I’m trying to look at it as a positive. One way to get a crowd into a game is perceived crappy reffing.

I don’t think we get incrimentally more money. And one thing I am learning in this business – you’re not the target market.
(Seriously unknown fact – of the top 50 selling pairs of basketball shoes last year – over 40 were Jordan Brand – which I think are not very attractive shoes. I’m a nike guy, not a jordan guy)
Yeah this is more complicated than simply selling X more jerseys. It is about brand perception for Jordan, too. Ultimately, Jordan wants there brand associated with schools like Cal and Georgetown (and UNC for obvious reasons.)

That should be “their”. Love when I am selling the association with Cal, and say, “there brand.” Education!

I have been a big MJ fan growing up and I do like the Jordan jumpman logo. The shoe with that window design just does not do it for me. On the other hand, I do like the “23” on the shot clock in the official Cal basketball poster this year though.

Vale
In geography, a vale is a wide river valley, usually with a particularly wide flood plain or flat valley bottom. Vales commonly occur between the escarpment slopes of pairs of chalk downs, where the chalk dome has been eroded, exposing less resistant underlying rock, usually clay.

A better internet criticism would be to point out that only Spaniards use the term vale for “ok” whereas Jorge is from Mexico.
actually, I have family in mexico that use ‘vale’ on a regular basis…
the interesting thing to note is that my only family members to use it are the college educated, which hints at eurocentricity in the Mexican higher educational syst….

They’re idiots. There’s no way we don’t make the tourney unless we lose tonight, against Ariz. St., Stanford, and in the first round of the tourney.
The thing I find interesting is that even when we do make it, we are projected as a 12 seed. I would hate to be a 5-seed and have to play an RPI top 20 team in the first round.

Very true. But, I’d rather have a 6 or 7, which isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Would prefer playing close to home over anything else really. I would much rather have a lower seeding and play in the “west bracket” location than have a higher seed and have to travel.
Yeah, that is a good point too. In recent appearances we have gotten pretty screwed by location – North Carolina and Kansas City plus playing Pitt in Pittsburgh and Oklahoma in Oklahoma City.

Only has two points so far! Proving that he is not one dimensional.
Time to put a team away early for once. The team looks fired up, let’s keep that up.

For that to happen it means
Cal defending three point shooters, something that is a problem for them.
I don’t mind giving them looks from 3 (okay, not that wide open). Just no second shot opportunity or fast break points off our TOs.

You’re pathetic about finding other words to use besides pathetic to describe Cal when you’re upset.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Well then what do you call it
Arizona can easily come out with ways to cut into a big lead. Hence why they are down 12 at half time after Cal had the lead at 24. You should be worried with the way Cal has played the last 4 minutes because if it carries over into the second half, Cal isn’t winning.
Basketball
Basically, everybody makes a run. Let’s just see how the second half starts out.

How about actual analysis of what they’re doing wrong? Pathetic is meaningless and inflammatory and insulting without saying anything valuable.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Fine
What Cal didn’t do in the last four minutes. Did not score in that span except for two points, took bad shots that were contested, missed an easy tip-in, and again not closing out on shooters.
All the energy that Cal had playing solid defense, rebounding the basketball, and getting to their spots on the floor where they can initiate the offense was gone during that last four minutes.
It’s like because Cal got the 24 point lead it was time to relax and they played like it. The lead should be around 16-18 right now, not 12.
Lastly all the momentum Cal had with the way they played is all but gone. This second half will be a measure if Cal can come out and play like they did for a majority of the half or they become the team that ended the half.
Ok, so Arizona got some momentum going into the half. Good thing there is this stoppage in play.
I think we got rattled by some questionable calls and a few of our near misses.
by LEastCoastBears on Feb 25, 2010 6:53 PM PST reply actions
Got some momentum
They basically got what the half time lead is in the last four minutes of the half. What do you think Arizona is going to be able to do with 20 more minutes unless Cal stars playing smarter?
Right, we need this half time more than they do.

Dear mid-major that we will probably face,
I hope you believe the douches on ESPN. They know everything about basketball that is played on the otherside of the country.
New Mexico loss- could have gone either way
Oregon St. – no one runs the 1-3-1 anymore buy they run it really well.
Arizona – 1 pt game
UCLA – 1 pt game
USC – 1 pt game
…etc.
Cal passes the eye test and their losses are all pretty excusable.

Historic . . .only because of the 11 banners
It’s not a great home court. Anyone objective about it would tell you – it’s more in line with the Dean Smith Center or McKale – tough as a home court because the TEAMS have always often been good.
Fair enough. McKale is particularly weird if you have never been there. Mainly retirees who are very knowledgeable and fairly loud. The students get one end of the gym. Much more like a good NBA arena than any other college arena I have been to.

I took an epic road trip there to watch Jelani Gardner cough up the rock twice in the final 3 minutes and toss up an off balance running one handed 3 pointer with 3 seconds left. The UofA student section was just as high up in the arena as our shitty visitor’s section tickets.
Rumor is that Jelani took a pay cut after that game. (too soon?)

Here’s my thing about that. If we were cheating (and we were) then let’s at least get caught paying Jason Kidd or Lamond or ’Reef. Or even Tremaine Folkes.
Not freaking Jelani Gardner.
I agree. Jelani wasn’t the worst player ever (until he took the money then transferred), but I would have been much more understandable if Lou had been caught driving a dump truck full of money to Kidd’s house.
If it makes you feel better, we were paying all of them.

Yup same here. I have always thought that Haas struck the perfect balance between being a nice facility, and still being a real college gym. It helps that the RSF is literally in the same building, and that it is used as Room 100 for final exams. I must have taken 3 or 4 finals there.
