This is my fear for the tournament. Play some team they don’t take serious and dig a hole they can’t get out of, they’ll do it vs Vandy but it gets much harder starting next week.

One of the keys to beating us is to run back the other way on an opponent miss, because of instead of coming down and running a play we'll just plow into a set defender or traffic. They're doing that. And Reed makes that bad pass leading to a 3 on the other end.

Thank goodness for Adou!

For the poster who said our offense is so good that we don't have to be good at defense, you might want to rethink that.

Thiero only guy playing well so far. Everybody else sleep walking. Why so many 3 ball shots falling.off front rim? Do all these guys have tired legs?

At this point defense is a matter of effort and some bare bones basketball IQ.

We've had much less talented players, understand how to play defense.

Maybe what Cal needs to do is start sitting the guys who aren't doing the basics.
What I've been saying for 2 months. If we give effort on D we are an average defensive team and that's good enough with our offense. When we don't we are terrible like 150's type defensive team most all of it is effort. Defense and rebounding are 80% effort.
