We have a team that has lost their confidence after Duke. Playing way too tight. Dropped passes, fumbled runouts, bumbled loose balls are all symptoms of players over thinking their job. It negates athleticism and skills.

So why did we look equally as bad in the exhibition games that were pre-Duke disaster?

They need to run more off-ball screens to get Keldon the ball near the free throw line. It's what they did with Knox last year and it was money most of the time. It doesn't look like we're running much of anything right now.

Herro and Richards should only see mop up duty right now. Hope that changes but they add nothing.

I dont know, nor do i care, how good the competition in the Bahamas actually was. This team looks totally different, and it has nothing to do with the competition. They are just off. Wayyyyyyyy off. The ball movement, passing, and shot selection in those games was ridiculous. There is absolutely none of it now and it makes no sense.

It almost feels like I'm getting trolled.

Ugh... as bad of a play that was by Richards by not hanging on to the ball, then why did the guards just leave a double-teamed 7-footer and not go get the ball first?

What in the hell does this team work on in practice? Cal's offense is "Just go play, be yourself, just go play."

Starting to think we’d be better off playing 4 on 5 than having Nick Richards on the floor

Quade passing is awesome - PJ Washington is such a skilled passer and ball handler - Its like Nick Richards is 2 plays ahead he is so alert
