Games thread- (RV) Men's bball scheduled to be on the road @ Stanford (Thurs.., 2/11, 5:00 PM MT, ESPN2) & Cal (Sat., 8:00 PM, ESPNU)

[Buffnik]

Hopefully those were teaching moments that will pay dividends. Yeah, that’s what I’m going to tell myself.

Yep. I think it was, based how they've played since.

Unfortunately, I think it's put us in a position where we need to take care of business tonight and then sweep next week's OR road trip in order to have a chance to win the conference on that final LA homestand.

 

[RiverBuff]

I will be happy with a top 3 finish, especially having probably played a "fuller" schedule vs. others. Not sure how the seeding will go, but I think being at least a #3 seed would put us in good position vs the winners of the 3 first round games -- remember AZ isn't playing, so I think I heard that the last six seeds play each other first. Win the tournament again -- playing only 3 games this time. Good seed in NCAA and then on to sweet 16. (I'm not "b-walking" this am I?)

(Well...if you have to ask....)

True and good point.

But I'm dialing back win the conference confidence

 

[cu3x]

The arrival of Tristan Da S and the blossoming of Walker, make next year look very good. If Walker comes back full strength, we may have as good a set of big men as anyone in the country, heading for the tourney: Battey, Walton, Horne, Da Silva, Walker, Schwartz.

I wonder if any seniors will return next year - we have at least 3 real good freshmen coming in, correct?

 

[cu3x]

opps. I already had Horne returning

 

[AztecBuff]

Almost tipoff!
(Looks like Horne in as a starter tonight.)

 

[Darth Snow]

Lfg

 

[Daaah]

So Celestine is going to be the guy that comes out of nowhere and has a monster game tonight huh?

 

[Medford M.]

Da Silva has come full circle. Always played hard but now he's playing with confidence.

 

[jumped ship]

Day Silva has come full circle. Always played hard but now he's playing with confidence.

he is showing some impressive ball skills, taking guys off the drive

 

[jumped ship]

wow I really wish Horne had just hit that open three cause the ball movement leading up to it was a thing of beauty...everyone touched the ball once before the shot

 

[DBT]

Sure would like to see a replay of Kim’s foul.

 

[Darth Snow]

Should be sweating here, but faith is holding. For now

 

[King_George_XXIV_Rules]

Da Silva has come full circle. Always played hard but now he's playing with confidence.

TDS is going to be a player once he puts on a few lb. of muscle

 

[Daaah]

What an awful half.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Rough half on the boards and defense. Need to come out and be ready to play the second.

And I hate this CU ad with the little douche bag talking about masks. Ughhhhh

 

[gone native]

Cal looks like the world’s greatest 2-13 team

 

[DBT]

Bradley hit two unconscious shots. That pisses me off. And what the **** was that at the end of the half?

 

[Ruckus]

Bad D overall. Didn’t have hands up on shots early, let them get a feel. Then they hit shots with hands in face. That’ll happen. Gotten tighten up in second half.

 

[DBT]

Adrian Branch is so bad as we say every game he calls. Saying that BS foul called on EB should’ve been an “and one” when it should’ve been an offensive foul.

 

[Ruckus]

So dumb to let the ball go out of bounds when you can easily grab it, when it’s not clearly out on the other team. Then to give up a bucket. Stupid.

 

[DBT]

We are not going to get any separation in this game. It’s going down to the wire. ****!

 

[King_George_XXIV_Rules]

God damn refs are so quick with the whistles. Totally destroys the flow of the game. Just let them play.

 

[DBT]

Getting abused on the boards.

 

[King_George_XXIV_Rules]

How do you totally dismantle a team like Stanford which has MUCH more talent than Cal, and then struggle against these clowns?

 

[Daaah]

Battey gets so many cheap ass files called on him. Pac-12 basketball is so soft.

 

[DBT]

We need to take it to the rim every time.

 

[Alfred91]

****ing A Cal.

Remember who you are.

 

[DBT]

Feels like the Washington game.
