It's basic fundamentals, too. Screening a defender should be reliant on using the screen effectively by the guy who is trying to get free. If he leaves a gap or doesn't make a sharp cut, then he shouldn't get open. Allowing the screener to step into a defender promotes bad basketball and rewards laziness.

I blame Kevin Garnett. Dude never set a legal screen once in his career and I'm not sure he got called for it once either.

Agree with all of that.

The other garbage move that Cal players did (all well as some other teams recently) is that BS push off/hook where ball handlers use their off arm to clear out the defender. Bradley was doing it all night, but only got called when he literally shoved his defender to the floor.

Didn’t play good. Got the W. Moving on.

But I’m taking this moment to complain. Went to the game with my 85 year old grandfather. I usually park at the dark horse and walk from there. He shouldn’t really walk that far. We had a parking pass close. Leaving Carelli’s at about 5:40 after dinner, we finally were in our seats at the under 4 timeout about 1 hour later. The traffic control was an unmitigated disaster. I was rather pissed.

Right there with you. It was INSANE getting to campus last night. CUPD wasn't doing anything to assist either.

I am getting annoyed of our mid game antics. Pumping our chest, flexing, laughing, etc, whenever we dunk, make a 3... we are getting taken to the brink of the Game by lowly Cal and we're apparently having a good ole time... ugh... Games not over, get your azz back and focus on defense.
I agree. The time it takes to chest flex, is time the player should be running down court or looking for a steal, etc. 1/2 second is big time in hoops. Plus, I hate showing off, bragging anytime, but especially when you can still lose.
I like Strating, but I would have played DW some, if he was ready to go.

On this theme, Bey has been penalized twice for taunting after posterizing some poor schmuck on an emphatic dunk.

Those technicals and being benched by Tad kinda sucks.

I like his enthusiasm and passion, and I hope he finds some way to channel his post dunk enthusiasm without drawing a whistle for taunting.

That is all coaching and parenting!!! Notice how it says ACADEMY on their jerseys. Entitlement goes real far. Amazed there wasn't a major fight after that crap!!!
Not thrilled about the flexing, especially during the run of play. If you do what Schwartz did and challenge a huge dunk that gets semi-blocked and still go in after the foul is called, that was a strong play, and the play is dead.

I second this. Easy cruise up 36 to just before the west turn onto Colorado. There were officers there. But the light signal timing was as if for normal traffic and not timed to allow more cars into campus. Officer standing at middle of the two turn lanes and simply waved baton when light went green. If anything he SLOWED traffic because cars paused to be sure they were reading his hand signals while being aware of traffic signal, and also cautiously turning so as to not hit him standing between two lanes of traffic.
