PrintArizona Wildcats at California Golden Bears, Feb 2, 2012 8:00 PM PST
It's a GOLD OUT! One can only hope that enough Cal fans are able to make the weeknight trek to see a great match-up between your sturdy Golden Bears and the visiting Wildcats.
A preseason top-25 team and one of the favorites for winning the Pac-12, Arizona has under-achieved relative to expectations. But, their talent is undeniable. It should be a lot of fun watching Jorge (unrated) going head to head with two true frosh that were ranked in the top 10 at their position out of high school.
Go Bears!
Tip-off: 8pm (PST)

Those were actually terrible possessions, in the sense that Smith didn’t get a touch like four straight trips. On one trip Lamb posted up BEHIND Smith, who was calling for the ball. Ridiculous.
If they try to rely on the perimeter the rest of the game they dramatically reduce their chance to pull this off.
are they?
they hit on some key 3’s (to bail out of bad possessions) but only 5 for the game (they hit about 6 per game)

Sigh. That’s probably not a huge surprise.
The only way to make sure you pull it off is to buy tees for the whole crowd, but we’re not really the type of school that’ll do that…at least not right now.
we just need to find a shirt sponsor
I was at the Duke-Maryland game last week where Maryland did a gold out. Having Under Armor really helped in that regard.

This is the photo my friend just texted me from the game.
A)Isnt it insane that you can just send people photos and I can get them out to the trillions of readers who peruse CGB????
B) Student sections looks GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
C) Gold Out might work better if there were more people in teh crowd. He just texted this to me, so I presume it is right about gametime. But it might be from a bit ago, I do not know.

I think the coach involuntarily stuck his leg out, and Jorge thought he intentionally kicked him.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
that’s my take from looking at the replay
I think Jorge took offense on nothing. Of course, I don’t think Pasternack try to ease the situation at all.
by LEastCoastBears on Feb 2, 2012 10:23 PM PST up reply actions
Well, if you looked at Pasternack’s face as he was staring at Jorge getting up, you’d think it was intentional too.

Looked he said something and “pushed” his leg at Jorge. It probably was more of an “OH SHIT!” moment than anything else, but I can understand why Jorge would get pissed off with the adrenaline he’s probably going through at the time. That said, fuck Joe Pasternack anyway.
At the very least, Pasternack’s side of the interaction was EXTREMELY unbecoming for a coach.

by atomsareenough on Feb 2, 2012 10:21 PM PST up reply actions
I dunno how bad it was, but it was definitely enough to really upset Jorge. It looks like he at least stuck his leg out and maybe put his arm into Jorge’s face/chest area, and then gave Jorge a really dirty look on top of it. I have no idea if there was more.

Though, OTOH, Jorge wears his emotions on his sleeve when he’s playing so maybe he overreacted a bit. There were definitely words exchanged though.

good fight in the 2nd half
The hole was just too big. And we had nothing left in the tank by the end—Crabbe and Cobbs were running on fumes.
And Fogg, OMG, who would have thought. What was he 100% from 3?
Fogg will never get those kind of numbers again this season. he should send us a thank you card.
Crabbe seemed a step slow on D tonight. Hope he gets up for Saturday.
He didn’t have much lift in his shooting stroke, either.

But how much of a troll was Sean Miller at the half time interview?

Really?
I felt like they let them play a little more in the second half because everyone was on the verge of fouling out.
AZ had Turner and Hill both pick up 3rd and 4th fouls and sit for long periods. It had an impact the way losing Jorge in the first half did for us.

A really tough loss
got to love how we fought back from the huge deficit and we had some good look to take the lead late, but it’s still a tough pill to swallow. It’s really crazy how Zona couldn’t miss on any FG for awhile but also missed all those FTs.
I love the intensity from our guys, Thurman, Kamp, and Jorge all jumped into the crowd to (try to) save the ball. Of course, now I worry about how fresh/healthy the team will be comes Saturday. Kravish was down at one point (got punched in the jaw?). Hopefully, we can handle ASU the same way Furd got them tonight.
