Wallace leads by example. He is a Freshman playing like an upper-classman every day. He avoids dumb fouls, doesn’t force his shot, takes enough open jumpers to keep D honest, etc.

Kravish’s “coaching” I believe is the reason for Solomon’s turn-around. Plus, he has added all the dimensions we asked for–tougher in the paint scoring and rebounding, more consistent mid range jumper, even a little hook shot.

No one wants Cal to win at least a share of the title more than the CAL faithful and the scenarios above are very likely to happen. But I am sure that deep in the minds of the team, Monty and those of us that have followed them this year, game in, game out, we all have to be thinking about the games that Cal lost early in conference when they should have won. It kills me to say it, but I hope all of this energy and momentum does not end in a second / third place conference finish.

Beat the Trees with EXTREME PREJUDICE! This week we are ALL COLORADO, UTAH, WASHINGTON STATE AND WASHINGTON FANS! GO BEARS!

They also seem to have a bright future even if Crabbe leaves for the Association since the Bears should have a full complement on the bench next year with the incoming class and with some luck with the players sitting on the bench this year.

One final note, if you watched K-State take the game yesterday from Baylor, that was Gary Franklin getting out late to contest the last second made three. That is the same former Bear who finished the K-State game with 0 points and 1 assist in 12 minutes. Meanwhile, the Bears’ Tyrone Wallace finishes game against Buffs with 16 points, 11 rebounds and an ESPN Top 5 highlight worthy dunk. Go Bears!

A true team win, but I think it was a very impressive game for Allen Crabbe, he stood out to me. The guy had an NBA defender who was taller then him trying to take him out of the game. Yea he did not have a lot of points and yes he was in foul trouble but he stayed with it and did so many other things to help the team win.
With the defense taking him away he moved the ball well and his team mates picked up the scoring, he rebounded, he stayed focused and tough under pressure D and fouls and played strong Defense. His passing in transition was outstanding.
Love Crabbe’s game, when he is all in he is the best player in the Pac.

If he can get his outside stroke going and do everything else he was doing yesterday to lead the team and elevate his mates game Cal is a scary match up.

Bears are playing great but still have not played their best game.

Hope they bust out Wednesday in the home finale and roll into the tournament season clicking in all phases.

See you all at Haas Wednesday night. Or at the bar to lube up pre game.

We owe our rival payback from the beat down they gave us. I’m hungry for a tree burning!

Go Bears!

Fired up for Wednesday, late 8pm start.

Haas will be rocking. Our Bears have got to be excited for this one. So much to play for, every win gives us a better seed and match up in the NCAA tournament. I think our team can make a NCAA run the way they are playing and with still so much potential for even more from them.

This team and the way things are coming together has that special magical feel…

Love it!!!
