For multiple reasons, this is an important game for the Bears. Logically, this is Cal's 3rd game against solid, potentially tournament quality opposition. The Bears have looked like a tournament team against Rutgers and Texas . . . but sport an 0-2 record in those games with two close, painful losses. Losing a 3rd would make for a slim non-conference resume unless the Bears knock off Ohio State in a few weeks at home.
Emotionally? The Bears are taking on their former coach, who presumably knows plenty about how to slow down the sophomores and juniors, and who left last year after a supremely difficult, frustrating season. Losing to Joanne Boyle would be adding insult to injury, because it would seem that she fled to a better situation.
Virginia lost to the same Texas team that Cal should have beaten by a score of 79-53 before bouncing back to beat Hawaii by 17. Virginia's strength? Winning the turnover battle. If Cal can keep it somewhat even then their rebounding prowess and inside depth will probably be enough. Cal couldn't do that against Texas. Do it tonight and they can fly home reasonably satisfied with the trip. Go Bears!

Interesting pre-game comments from coach:
Evidently the last play of the game was designed for Reshanda Gray but they couldn’t get her the ball. Lots of confidence in the freshman.

2-0 Bears!
As a note: the livestats say Virginia vs. Hawaii, but it is the stats for our game. It just mistakenly lists ‘Cal’ as ‘Hawaii.’

Thanks, Nick. I just got here and was in the midst of getting frustrated with the live stats.

We play deeper as well, so that’s good news.

3 on Reshanda (who surprisingly came back into the game with 2 fouls) and 2 on Talia. Gonna see lots of Gen Brandon and Justine Hartman tonight – not that that’s a bad thing.

Hartman banks in a jumper, Gen gets 1 of 2 free throws, and Cal gets the offensive board on the miss, and Hartman sinks another shot! Finish the half strong Bears!

From listening to yesterday’s game, it seemed like there were definitely some Bears’ fans there.
"For eight long years have those lobster backs made you bite the dust. It is your turn now. Make them bite and bite hard. Play, every one of you until you drop in your tracks; and when you can’t play any longer, we’ll put another man in your place. If you are repulsed once, come at them again, harder." - Garrett Cochran, Big Game 1898
Looks like we all liked that shot!

Gee, I remember when we were the team that couldn’t break 20 at the half!

18?!
This is the team that beat Tennessee? Basketball is so weird.
College sports are all weird! That’s why we love them. :)

It's true.
The NBA is kind of boring by comparison—well, not exactly boring, but not compelling. Not nearly as easy to root for.
And college football is way more fun than the NFL. I think it’s because college players are more emotional but less skilled than pro players, so there is so much more opportunity for completely unexpected things to happen.

I don’t think it’s that the overall skill is less, it’s that the overall baseline skill is high but there is still significant variability in skill levels both within teams and between teams. That’s what creates that “anything can happen” environment.

Doesn’t that mean that the overall skill is less?

It’s definitely less than the NFL, sure, but I’m saying that in and of itself isn’t the reason it’s so great. If that were the case then we’d all be watching Pop Warner instead. My point is that overall skill level is high (though not quite NFL level), but variability is also high, so it’s exciting.

Virginia hitting 16%? Ouch. Do you think that is more because they are shooting really badly or because of our defense?

Dunno. They weren’t a good shooting team last year, and they haven’t shot very well this year. Probably a combo of a bad shooting team in a slump facing an athletic team capable of contesting most shots.

12 point lead that the half. Safe to say that the Bears really, really need to hold on to this lead!

Is there such a thing as
a turnover-forcing clinic? What a wonderful skill that would be. Lexi seemed to have developed quite a knack for forcing turnovers and drawing fouls.
Did you folks catch Dave Lewis earlier
saying that after the Texas loss ‘there were tears in the locker room?’
Really hope they take this one so that the team can fly home happy!

No, I missed that. I’m not surprised. That was a heart-breaker. I was concerned how well they would come out today, but so far, so good.

Interesting half-time interview with Joanne Boyle. She says she had expected to spend the rest of her career at Cal, but after her father passed away, she would have liked to be closer to her family, and when Virginia approached her with a great financial offer, only a short distance from her family, it just seemed like the right thing to do. She was extremely gracious about Cal and Gottlieb. While I’m not sure it is the entire story, I imagine it is a big part of why she left. I wonder why she didn’t give such an interview when she left Cal.

Afure! This 2nd half has been an entirely different game – but more to Cal’s style and strengths, I suspect.

BearBloke and I are
somewhat stressed. We look forward to (please, Goddess!) a couple of easier games next weekend. Still, it’s great to see Cal responding to a mild Virginia comeback with defense and baskets.

What do you mean, a bloody foul on California?!

(Time to put some Prosecco on ice. When they beat Stanf___, it will be real Champagne.)
I'm feeling good.
We pushed Texas and Rutgers to the limit and beat VA. This is a good feeling.
I'd like to smell the Roses before I die.
Holding on to the lead in this one was huge.
"For eight long years have those lobster backs made you bite the dust. It is your turn now. Make them bite and bite hard. Play, every one of you until you drop in your tracks; and when you can’t play any longer, we’ll put another man in your place. If you are repulsed once, come at them again, harder." - Garrett Cochran, Big Game 1898

This had got to make the team feel a lot better about this trip. Another heart-breaking loss would have been really bad.
