I like the fact that Cal is still pushing the pace and looking to score even with a sizable lead. I mean how often do you see a team "play to hold the win" and play way to conservative and end up giving up a lot of points in the process?

Cal is looking good. Wallace, Matthews and Bird are all very talented and they have an experienced big man in Kravish that does the dirty work. Them, UCLA, Utah and Colorado are probably the other 4 tourney teams in the Pac with Stanford on the bubble.

They have flown under the radar a bit, I didn't realize they were returning that much talent.

Hahaha pretty sure that Cal player didn't want to get posterized and that's why he completely got out of the way.

All the time and it's ridiculous. Let off the throttle with under 2 to go, and a 15+ lead.


Cal is running like a well oiled machine.

Ya Dickie V has no idea what he's talking about. He wanted Cal to play the clock game with like 6-8 mins left. :scratch:

California showed glimpses last year. Impressive.

Texas had better get some good sleep tonight.

Not when you're that hot and have a talented, well coached team on the ropes. Just keep running and knocking down 3s.

Wisconsin travels to Cal in December I think. That one could be a good one if Cal comes to play.

It's going to take more than a win over Syracuse to convince me they're for real. No doubt they looked very good tonight, but Cuse is going to be down this year. Now if they can beat Texas, that's another story.

Nah, they're good. How good remains to be seen, but they beat us last year in Berkley (game where B.Ashley broke his foot) on a game winner. It's a tough place to win... they've got some shooters and Kravish is a beast. Plus their two stud freshman return (Bird and Matthews) along with Tyron Wallace. I really didn't realize they brought back those four guys and have a 7 foot freshman off the bench. They could be a sleeper team this year.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wisconsin handled them, but I also wouldn't be surprised if Cal pulled off an upset. Like you said though, we'll get a better idea of how good they really are against Texas.

Syracuse fell asleep for a few minutes and Iowa is now within 1.

Really not impressed with Iowa at all.

Cuse is young and trying to find itself but Iowa returns almost their whole team and both games have looked pretty bad

1st Cuse bucket in about 6 mins. They thought they had this one wrapped up.

And now we see some intensity...
