Stanford lost 47 - 40, shooting 23% overall and 13% on threes. ND wasn't much better at 32% and 19%. One guy on each team scored 13 points, nobody else made double figures.

shocky gotta new favorite basketball coach!!

yeah will wade got no social filter just like the monster

the next question to will wuz: "what do you think of cal's co athletic directors jay larson and jennifer simon-o'neil?"

coach's answer wuz: "That's a great ******* question, Jay Larson and Jennifer Simon-O'neil are piece of **** worthless bureaucratic ****tards that are each getting paid $500,000 at a time when a lot of hard working Americans are eating top ramens and berry wild pop tarts and that's just ******* bull****!!"

"And guess what??...These two pieces of **** are the only athletic directors at any level in the United States of America that have ZERO social presence on either twitter of instagram, when the **** is Chancellor Lyons gong to throw out the ******* trash??"

Furd leading Louisville 19-13 9min into the game...

Furd should be up 25-15, getting robbed on both ends of the court by the ACC refs!

score now 26-18 8:50 to go in the 1st.

36-35 Furd at the half.

Furd shooting 46% from 3, Lville 18%. Conwell 1 of 9 from behind the arc...

Tight game, 17 lead changes. Furd playing good defense, they're for real.

Conwell shooting bricks from 3, even on open looks, now 2 of 13 on threes, this looks like a whole different LV team from the one we saw Tuesday...

Furd up by 5 with 10min to go.

Final - Furd wins 80-76, impressive performance, though LV might have had a letdown.

Yup, Louisville won't always shoot as well as they did vs. us. That's just basketball.

Louisville expended all of their energy for a week trying to keep up with our athleticism.

SMU handling UNC at home, 63-55 with 12min left.

FSU up 6 against Duke… looks like they're playing Hack-a-Devil and it's working, Cal should study this tape closely.

Double digit win by SMU over UNC, closing in on 100 pts in the last minute.

final, 97-83,

This league is pretty competitive.

Both other ACC games tonight pretty tight midway in the 2nd half, Miami tied with WF and Furd down by 2 to our next opponent VTech.

7-8 BC on the road giving Louisville all they can handle, up 49-48 with 10min to go.

Makes you wonder about our game against LV...
Cal88
How long do you want to ignore this user?
LV with better depth makes a 9-0 run, up by 9 with 5min left.

We're back on the bubble in NET at #59.



Very crowded bubble field in the ACC, we're going to have to beat the other bubble teams to get in.

Also, we have already played 4 of the top 5 teams in the conference, and none of the bottom 5.

I would love us to get to ncaa but lets.keep things in check. One week at a time to avoid the crushing highs and lows that is cal. I.gotta watch duke tape to see what they did.

Yes. Great win on Saturday and disappointing loss last week. But still seems like we're NIT bubble material - not NCAA bubble.


BUT.... things can change...

For the better and for the worse. Lots of games to go and we're not out of it yet.

I think if we can finish above .500 we probably get to the NIT. Good arena to host (capacity) and some decent P4 wins. Probably need 4 to 6 more in league to really lock it it.

Likely wins at BC and FSU and Pitt at Haas. Furd at Haas would be pur next best bet. Now, where do we pick another 2 or more wins?

At least a split with Georgia Tech
At least 1 of (@Syracuse and @Wake Forest)

does anyone care about nit anymore, though? Usually half the team leaves for the portal before the games start, and then a bunch of teams don't even accept the bid because they're either short staffed or embarrassed. Love to see more Bear basketball but not of any of these guys are sitting out.

It's more a marker for the program to see if we are improving.

there are 3 big post-season tournaments now since last season. The extra tournament is the College Basketball Crown (CBC). It was a 16 team tournament last year, but is 8 teams this year in Las Vegas. The top 2 teams from the Big10, Big12 and BigEast are auto bids, with the 2 remaining teams selected by committee.

Winning team earns $300K NIL

The other change is the portal window was moved to a day after national championship game for 15 days, so players don't need to enter portal before their team finishes their post season games

Expect a lot of this weekend's ACC games to be cancelled due to a major ice/snow storm scheduled to hit the South and mid-Atlantic later this week. Good thing we stay local this week. Not sure if and when cancelled games will be rescheduled.

Cal88

None of the ACC games got cancelled tonight, the worst of the storm is only going to hit tomorrow.

This is the tourney picture for the conference, from Lunardi:

That would probably make us as first four out.

This is why the loss to VT was so painful. We need at least one win on the Florida trip (FSU), but if we want to make the Tournament it would be great to beat Miami too.

if Notre dame gets an auto bid for football when polling at 12 or better, I feel like we have a better argument that we should make the tourney if we're getting even one AP vote.

We're at #54 NET, squarely in bubble territory. Teams get evaluated individually in theory, but with 8 ACC teams looking like locks so far this year, it's got to be a factor. Last year only 4 ACC teams got in, and 5 in 2025.
