Ranked Cal in town
- Thread starter Bardman
- Start date
I can tell you right now we are going to have trouble with Cal they have a very athletic and active big.
We started the 1st quarter off slow got down 7-0 early but got settled in and finished the 1st with a 3 point lead. Curry didn’t score the 1st quarter but Berry has come on strong.
Good first half up by 10 a lot of defense on our end. I wonder if our 4th quarter breakdowns have been because we run out of gas. We are really playing a lot of players and not for a few minutes at a time. Harris, Russell and Berry are in for 7 minutes and then sit for 7 minutes. It looks like he is trying to keep up the defensive pressure the whole game and trying not to have a let down at the end because of fatigue.
We take an 11 point lead into the 4th quarter let’s see if all this substitution solved our problem with 4th quarter breakdowns. If we can keep up our defensive intensity I like our chances.
This camera action is awful they keep focusing to long on the sideline missing parts of the game.
It's like the Cards take a dumb pill in the 4th quarter. It's truly mystifying how they seem to panic. They have turned the ball over three times in a row now.
Thankfully Cal hasn’t put that pressure on earlier in the game. We need to space on the inbounds and I really don’t like Williams inbounding the ball
Well we hold on and win but the last 5 minutes were ugly. Poor CJW you can tell his blood pressure is through the roof.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like this with a team. They absolutely freeze up and play scared in the 4th quarter.
The Cards celebration on winning was subdued because they all know they had another 4th quarter implosion. The team just doesn't appear to have a true leader on the court.
