Cal vs. Oregon Post Game Thread: Bears Roll Ducks One Last Time, Get Ready for Bruins

Still 3 mins left on the stream.

1- We look damn good, but I won’t predict anything

2- Jerome: Man couldn’t miss, and he sat when he knew he needed to. Honorable mention for Patrick with a quiet 21 and Jamal with a huge second half with Jerome out.

3- Jerome early, nails the three, steals the ball, comes back with the layup. Butter.

4- When Oregon won last night.

5- ……….knock on wood…..

Max’s facial expression on the picture is one for the ages. I want that Max for every game.

1. If Cal can keep shooting 50+% from beyond the arc, I like our chances. I thought Washington would take the tournament since they absolutely need it to get off the bubble, but now I’m thinking if we stay healthy, anything can happen.

2. Randle, of course (FG 8-9, 3Pt 4-4, FT 2-2, 0 PF, 22 Pts) – that’s just sick and all of it was in the first half with the one miss coming at the beginning of the 2nd half.

3. Randle burying the 26-foot 3 pointer with 7:03 to go in the first half. It was pretty clear with that shot that he wasn’t going to let us lose.

4. Boykin came out on fire in the second half. Boo-Yah!

5. The public educational institution from the state of California, easily.

Comcast needs to get this baby on OnDemand ASAP

1. Has anything you’ve seen in the first two games of the tournament changed your prediction about the eventual champion?

YES. I was thinking ASU would win. I did not think it would be Cal. I am changing my mind. That is all. You’re not gonna make me say it!!!

Overall though, this team looked like they came out just loose ready to play some basketball. Outright Pac-10 Champs, JR POTY, they had swagger.

2. Who is your player of the game, and why?

Randle. B/c of that swagga baby.

3. What was the play of the game?

The one where Jorge is dribbling. Just dribbling. He made it look so easy. As he strode down the court confidently…

Okay and possibly Randle’s 50-ft trey.

4. The game was over when:

Cal won the PX Championship. I feel like it gave them the confidence to come in and just say naw dawg, this shit’s ours.

5. Who wins when Cal faces off against UCLA? Sorry, I wrote this the evening before the games! Damn these games that happen during working hours!

Jo Mama for tempting me into hubris.

Kick UCLA’s ass for us please.

Only twice has Cal ever won 2 games in the Pac-10 tournament (2006, 2007). Only once has Cal made the championship game (2006).

Note: This is only the 13th Pac-10 tournament (1987 to 1990; 2002 to present).

While our offense looked very good, I am concerned about our defense…mainly defensive rebounding. Oregon got way too many second chance points to sort of stay in the game in the first half despite our ridiculous shot making. We also allowed too many wide open 3 looks as well as being called for too many fouls (I thought the refs were calling things a bit too tight in the first half).

Nevertheless, if we’re able to continue the shot making tomorrow, I would love to see us dispatch UCLA in a similar manner tomorrow night (proving once and for all that their win against us in Haas was nothing more than a fluke).

FIRE LUDWIG!
