I hope Cal comes out in the second half and presses them full court. Take their souls in the first five minutes of the second half.

Then let Hart and Burks get clock in the last 10 minutes of the game.
Need to stomp these dudes by Fiddy.

This team just doesn't play reckless basketball.

As someone who didn't want to play like Alabama, we don't. We are shooting a ton of 3's but they are not forced. It is coming from the ball movement and spacing. The ball control of this team is astonishing...especially considering the relative youth of backcourt.

We are playing 2 to 1 Asst to TO as a team. Incredible.

damn i hate to look forward but Miami got three dudes that are currently shooting at or above 50% from 3 on the season.

Probably need to do a better job defending the 3 lol
Making fun of those who (rightfully) are saying that this Marshall team is a big disadvantage this game, but saying we probably need to do a better job defending the 3? We'll be playing our clone in Miami.

Does Dillingham have what it takes to be our transcendent guy this year?

It's looking that way. I can't see how he's pacing behind any other elite Cal guard besides maybe Wall at this point. He's even a little ahead of guys like Knight and Fox at the same stage of the season.
Dilly is the biggest surprise for me so far. I think he’s our best guard.

@Cowtown Cat , is it time to resurrect retro victory Cindy?

She hasn't been unveiled since 2019....

I'd still love to have Oscar back as our 6th man. He'd be perfect coming off the bench for this team.

We played a solid team Monday.

Just a note for those looking for great defense, players tend to relax when they're up 30 points.

I'm really not worried about defense in the slightest. You start focusing on hard-nosed defense for 30 seconds every possession and you'll find your shots on the other end start coming up short.

The game has never been more offensive-focused. Lean into that.

Not to mention, we don;t have any bigs. And opposing teams know this. I'm not going to worry much about our guards trying to stop drives and run 3pointers when the opponent knows we have no size inside.
