Just curious, How long has it been since Cal was 5050 in conference this late in the season

---

Since Cuonzo.

Cal gets the W!


….but fails to f@ucking cover. Sh@it!

Every victory in the ACC is a good victory. There were a few rocky stretches tonight, but the team answered every single time. I'll take it.

ilic with his best game......when needed.

11 points.
9 rebounds.
7 for 7 from the line.

A W is a W... now gotta beat #19 Clemson on Saturday evening

Points in the paint:

GT - 48
Cal - 16

Dort can't come back soon enough.

that last couple minutes was brutal emotional for a gambling man. lol. Hovered around 5-9 over and over over.

Great win! Gutsy. Pippen with the rebound and play of the game. Just brilliant. Go Bears!

Good win, nice having a team that hits its free throws and knows how to handle end of game situations. Cal playing smart is why they won that. Seen years of throwing games like that away lol.

Clutch FTs late in the game, it could have been a tight finish otherwise with Fleming draining every shot.

Madsen was 9-8 in PAC-12 play in his first season before dropping the last 3

seems like as soon as most of the subs came in GT was able to score. Worst Bears playing are Kocanas, Dorsey, and Carr.

Let me put this tactfully:
I don't feel that Kocanas is ready for NCAA division 1 basketball at the current time.

Didn't lose, I'll take it.

Things you didn’t think you’d tweet: Clemson has now won 13 ACC road games in a row. Another meat grinder from Brad Brownell’s squad at Stanford. 19-4.

We have to put an end to this

Thank you Stoudamire for not having given Fleming more minutes tonight

Speaking of Stoudamire, I could hardly keep my eye on the action because I was so distracted that he camped on the court, in bounds, virtually all the time. I kept thinking dang the ref is gonna plow right into him. Madsen is way bigger and sure he steps into the playing area at times, but mostly he stands out of bounds. I just thought the ref would issue at least a warning or something especially since they were standing next to each other on nearly every possession, even when the ball was on the same side of the court. It was weird.


I hope we get another year of Pippen. He is growing and I feel like he might make a nice jump forward with another year in the system and with Madsen. When he is playing steady ball, he is pretty solid.He just needs to keep making progress on cleaning up mistakes and making sure he is applying pressure at both ends.

Overall, I am just glad we got the win. Keep stacking wins by any means.

17-6

one of the joys I had/have about cal hoops was the progress you would see in teams and players, game to game, year to year. Players understanding their roles and limits. That's what I'm seeing in this team. Looking fwd to Clemson.

Pippin was amazing last night. Dai Dai was on fire and got the love from the ACC network after the game, but Pippen was so key to that win. Great game for both.

While watching last night, I was thinking Pippen and Ames are the best 1-2 backcourt we've seen since???

Randle & Christopher (probably better than those two, even as seniors - certainly of the defensive side)

He can transfer to Cal next year
