why is Rafferty talking about how good our defense is

trying to save Cal?

5 dunks and 4/4 on 3

 

[$Z71$]

Refs didn’t like our momentum

Oddly enough they've let us play so far. Minus the 2 points they cost us on the Reed OOB when he was OOB.

 

[triadaz]

That happens against us so much, where is Bradshaw?

Where he should be

 

[jameslee32]

Who's gonna rebound minus Ugonna? Thiero and who else?
Bama screen called a foul!
Ed for 3!!! Called a 2??
Good call

 

[ala_kat2]

I’m going to bring it out early…..
A 3-2 match up zone would slow Bama down. They thrive off spacing you and moving your man to man defense around for looks. A zone slows the drives and keeps them from thei drive and kicks for open looks. They’ll hit 15 a against our man

Dream on. Cal not playing a zone. He’s not a college basketball coach. He’s an NBA player developer.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Looked like cal was sending in AB for Ugo instead of Z ... vomit

 

[ck-2]

Ugo is AWFUL at screening. Abandons screens way before the shooter gets there.

Seems like all of Cal’s teams suck at screening. They don’t set the screen properly and the guy coming off the screen swings way too wide instead of rubbing off the defender. Every year.

 

[wccat]

Thiero is such a dog. He's not always perfect but man he gives 150% effort every second

If he ever develops an offensive game he will be awesome player. Love his motor and heart!

It’s gotten a hair better as the game has gone. But this was destined to be a shootout today.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Thiero hot, so sub in Edwards. Thanks, Cal. He simply cannot stand having Justin and DJ on the bench. Sad!

 

[TankedCat]

ok, now I"m convinced Rafferty is trying to save Cal

"this guy Cal, gets teams ready"

awww horseshit

 

[HenryMuto]

Wow they called a screen vs another team ?

 

[ck-2]

Get Rob back in.

 

[TortElvisII]

damn chuck jones too...oh hell

 

[bbnkat02]

Well. At least they called it on both ends.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Virginia has 8 points with 3 mins left in the first half

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Important stat in this game and Bama has 0 of them today(not gonna jinx it by naming it). Gotta keep that up

 

[NociHTTP]

Refs must have had a refresher on screens today

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Who is this Edwards?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Ok. If they are gonna call it both ways then lets do it.

 

[TankedCat]

no complaints about Edwards of late, playing good ball

of course as soon as I type that he'll probably prove me wrong

 

[megablue]

Edwards is playing good defense today

 

[NociHTTP]

Stupid D by DJ

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Pringle was out of bounds when he caught that pass

 

[Shaudylo]

Nelson literally just dips his shoulder and doesn’t even try to get set

Refs heard you for one play at least

 

[rick64]

Edwards made the J but statistically the worst shot to take.

 

[HenryMuto]

Good job Reeves drawing that foul

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Reeves got away with a walk there

 

[SemperFiCat]

Wagner not moving much/well. That ankle has to worse than what we think.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

Pringle was out of bounds when he caught that pass

They catch Reed being "out of bounds," but they don't catch that.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Good job DJ smh

 

[know1]

Reeves walked big time.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Reeves is almost out of control

 

[TankedCat]

Stupid D by DJ

he and Sears are jawing at each other - they are both trying to show each other up

 

[megablue]

Reed needs to hunt a few shots

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Stupid D by DJ

He was tripped fighting over the screen.

 

[jameslee32]

Dilly and Zvon in
Big Z gets beat on every trap or ball screen
2 fouls on Sears and Nelson
Good rebound Ed and leads to a lob dunk by Z!
AND 1!

 

[HenryMuto]

Pringle was out of bounds when he caught that pass

Yep or he was not established either way should been our ball

 

[bbnkat02]

Virginia has 8 points with 3 mins left in the first half

WOOOOOOOOF.

How that clown won a title is beyond me.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Have the Cats and Reds on split screen. Both games going well. Reds up 2-0 on the Ind...er..Guardians.
