I am going to go way out on a limb here and predict a Cal sweep of Utah and Colo. Colo will be more difficult and probably a close game, but I expect the Bears to rise to the occasion and pull it out. But I won’t be surprised if UW wins all 3 of its remaining games, either.

GO BEARS!

If the Stanfurd game becomes a must win, i could see the trees reveling in the opportunity to plays spoiler. I think Stanfurd is as good as UCLA at home, if not better. Fortunately we have all week to rest up and prepare. I really think it’ll be a miracle to beat Colorado up there. Utah we should be able to handle. If we lose to Colorado, the Stanfurd game for sure a must-win. I think Washington’s going to lose to WSU, so hopefully that happens, and we sweep the mountain schools, taking all the pressure off of the final game. Allowing us to rest our top 5, develop a little more depth, etc. That would be nice. Unless we finish 1-2 and lose our first tourney game, I think we’re in the big dance. You can’t leave the Pac12 team with the most wins out of the tournament. Won’t happen, no matter what Lunardi thinks.

Go Bears!

1-2 is a probable result? I can’t see us losing to Utah or Stanford no matter where the game is.

Depth will be a huge issue at altitude. Would be nice to have just one reliable substitute. I thought all along that Murray would become that player, but something went off the rails.

Possibly Thurman and Bak can be no worse than -2 type players, but it would be nice to have another back court option. Brandon Smith can’t do it, unfortunately.

1-2 is a probable result over the last 3 games. My guess is that UW will be 2-1, with the WSU game being a toss-up. USC is a walkover, and I don’t think UCLA will do us any favors; 4-star talent, 1-star results.

Kravish was best I’ve seen him. Cobbs is looking great and we’re going to need his strong PG play to win these upcoming road games.
Thought Crabbe had a strong game and our rock seniors were winners as usual. Feel very confident about our road trip to close the year with Jorge and Harper in charge.
Awesome that MSF came to game to salute his friends. Miss Markuri, a great Bear.
All hands on deck, come on bench, to win that Conference Championship!

The break-out game for Kravish, I think; he was all over the place and looked confident. Great game for the seniors. Solid game for everyone. They solved the Oregon State “puzzle” as a team, and won a tough game going away…!

Halftime score was shocking but the Bears rolled.

Go Bears!

Funny thing, and not gonna happen, but if we win out, and win the pac12
Tourney, and make it to the sweet 16, we’ll have 30 wins.

I’m glad we have Utah first, to at least get used to the altitude. Both will be tough games.
