If you burn clock, get fouled and make your free throws you win . Simple as that .

How much zone did they play ? And despite everything you said hit free throws and they win.
I dunno. Our bench played 10 more minutes than theirs. What I see is Cluff only playing 23 minutes with only 2 rebounds (both offensive) while Cal had 13 offensive rebounds.
Well dipshit apparently cal didn’t get that memo because they patiently let the Cougs run the clock down and not get a good shot then proceeded to head down to the other end of the floor and stick it up our ass. We were never at a point where we could run the clock out without getting points. It’s really not that complicated.
“Dipshit” ? Ouch . That really hurts coming from you since we are so close .
So what dipshit observed was horrible coaching at first, then great coaching to get up back up by seven, then collapsed .So he was one for three .
Hit free throws at 70% clip and win. Kinda like winning in spite of your coach.
I love those who nit pick. The coach who lost four starters, one to USC , one to Villanova, one to the NBA, and one to the G league. Yet he rebuilt the roster better with less resources and you piss and moan about the outcome when the kids are the ones who win and lose down the stretch . No wonder coaches leave and honestly I don’t blame them. But that is just one dipshits opinion.
Ed, did I not say I love Kyle smith and he’s awesome? He also booted the game. Both can be true. Just like leach was awesome and made poor decisions towards the end of games like CSU. It’s not nitpicking it’s stating fact.
Forgot to reply to this yesterday. Mik, read the box score - we shot 65%, not 49% from the FT line. 65% still sucks, but is way different than 49%.
You don't need to refer to fellow posters as dipshits. Even Ed deserves better than that. Not much perhaps, but c'mon.
Looking deeper than just the totals and at both games. Cal's bench played 11 more than we did in their first game and as Rich posted it's was their home game. In game 2, Chinyelu took over half of the bench minutes mostly for Cluff. Over the 2 games, Rice played 78 minutes, Jones 69, Jakimovski 80, Wells 69. We really couldn't afford to have them off the court for too long.
On Cluff, Smith indicated he hurt his ankle in the Stanford game. Love Cluff, but that probably slowed down a guy who doesn't have a ton of athleticism.
The rebound difference speaks to a team that seem to run low on fumes. We really could not stop Tyson period. I thought we got some good shots at the end of the game. Jakimovski hit a big 3 and then missed a big 3 that was an open shot. Rice missed a mid-range shot late. Forgetting the other stuff other than the shot clock violation.
make your free throws when you are up and you when . Did Smith get stupid in last three minutes of the Cal game and brilliant last three minutes of the Stanford game ?
Last three minutes when you are up make your free throws and you win . When I say make your free throws hit 70% of them .
It is also about players making plays . Sorry you don’t get that .
Of course it is about players making plays. That cliché is true in every single sport at every single level, from PeeWee through the pros. And if they had made some plays that needed to made all through out the game, those late free throws would be irrelevant.
Speaking of making plays, I have no way of proving this, perhaps some crack media stats team would have the resources, but I would bet that there are a lot more college basketball teams that have won games while shooting 65% from the line than have won games while only getting 2 turnovers during regulation. That is a pathetic effort. Or lack of a focused effort if you will.
I was surprisingly frustrated by Saturday's loss. More than I though I would be. WSU has to find a way to win that game if it wants to be in the conversation for a tourney bid. Same crap different year. I need to emotionally detach from even thinking we have a chance. I'll wait until March.
Ah, that's better. Group hug all around.
Speaking of rebounds, I missed the first few plays of overtime. From what the announcer said, did Cal get two offensive rebounds right there at the start?
Actually, it was THREE consecutive offensive rebounds, leading to a made 3-pointer by Celestine.Ah, that's better. Group hug all around.
