I'm a bit surprised this is an IVY league team.... these women can flat out ball. God i'd love for their star guard to play for Cal!

Can Cal do a rebounding drill/lesson during halftime?
-11 on second chance points! Not good.
The are killing us on the boards including offensive off missed FTs
And despite all of that, Cal outscored Columbia in the 2nd quarter

but Cal scored fewer points in the 2d quarter than in the first.
Stanford down against BYU 70-54. If Stanford fires their coach, I hope that they don't hire Columbia's coach,
Ojukwu scored some points but seemed to struggle defending/boarding (not the only one),, looked like Langarita was waiting to come in the last couple minutes but there was no stoppage
Langarita is too slow to defend this quick team. Their players are beating their Cal defenders most of the time and have opened up a 10-point margin. The Lions are playing harder on defense than the Bears are. Columbia has three players in double figures mid-way through the 3rd quarter while Cal has no players.
Cal cuts 12-point deficit to 4, but Columbia hits basket at third quarter buzzer. Both teams warming up offensively and score 20. Fourth quarter should be interesting...
Cal has a shot to win this game if they can get some stops. Approximately 5 minutes left and it's a one-point game (63-62). Most of the comeback came with Twidale on the bench. The Lions outscored the Bears 11 to 6. Overall-they outrebounded the home team by 37-24. When is the last time that Cal only had 24 boards?
Columbia finished 13-1 on the road. The Lions were missing two starters for the WBIT. I predict that they win it.

I think the bigger issues are that Columbia is absolutely frustrating the Bears' offense and Columbia gets rebound after rebound after rebound.
Bears looking a step slow and Columbia is playing with far more intensity/effort. If they don't flip the switch really soon, they lose.
Need more plays where Walker doesn't bring her hands down inside. That should be her strength.
Walker missed layup after beautiful pass sure killed the comeback momentum. We have lost well over 10 points on simple missed layups.
Refs not calling +1 these last few minutes. Lots of contact on a couple made Bear baskets without a call.

3:27 a.m. here in Hampshire, England. Focus, Bears!

Where is the Rally Committee and the paid guy? Columbia has been waving their flags on our court. We should at least have volunteers wave our flags. Cal is closing in on the score.
Cal down one with 4:53 to go and the ball.
There's a timeout - so what play has Smith called? We will find out.
Bears are certainly driving to the basket a lot this quarter.

each time morris turns it over Colombia makes a basket.
Pressing Colombia was smart. Gave them a taste of their own medicine. Changed momentum.
The Bears take the lead!
Gisella!

#(*&$ Weis.
50 seconds to go and Cal down 3. Cal still can't really stop Page or Weis.

No Rally Com, no cheerleaders or dance team, no Oski. Only the Cal Straw Hat Band showed up. Even Columbia brought cheerleaders across the country.
Excuse my french but what the f*** was that last possession? THAT is the possession we have with the season on the line? Bears... you're killing me here!
That was just an awful possession down 3 with 50 seconds to go - ending with a Sheppard drive and turnover. But, it was just a total team inability to get a shot.
Ugh.
26.4 to go and Cal has to foul to even get Columbia to the line.

That TO was a gift there..
Columbia throws away the inbounds!
So, is this ball going quick in to Walker or a drive and pass back to Lulu?

Ugh. Sheppard drives and gets fouled - but not a bucket.
Sheppard makes one. Two point game. 18.4 seconds. Columbia to inbound.
and ball game.
The offense just disappeared in the last minute.
Sigh.

Great fight back, but like the men, this is a game they should have won. Between missed layups and and given away second half chances they blew it.

Official stats on second chance points: Columbia 16 Cal 4
Offensive rebounds - Columbia 16 Cal 5
That seems to have been the difference.
Couple of other telling stats: Fast Break, where Cal usually does well - Columbia 12 Cal 5
And Columbia credited with 10 steals to Cal's 4.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Excited for next season, especially given how young this team is. Really hope we can keep the core of this together! Lulu... don't you want to play with your two countrywomen?
Go Bears.
Foul language being whispered (grandkids asleep next door) here in England. Hell and damnation, those missing rebounds.
