Cal Postgame

[007]

I'd rather have Lampkin give McCleod rest. I think we are a better team with him on the floor. Spacing is better on D and he is definitely a better rim protector.

Wow. There are a lot of insights to unpack here. Let's start with "spacing" on defense. I'm good with the rim protector part.

I watched the first minute and last minute of the game. So can someone explain to me if this was a case of SU winning or Cal losing?

I see that Cal shot 29% overall and 6 for 35 from three. That's mind numblingly awful. Did we cause much of that, or were they open looks that they simply missed?

A good majority of the shots were open it was a bold defensive strategy that paid off.

Yes

Good road win. Take our medicine on Wednesday and then try to get a couple wins after that.

After Duke, all the games are at least winnable. Not that they’re going to win them all in any way, but they can win more than a couple. BC, Miami, Virginia, Va Tech, NC State, even UNC and Pitt are winnable. We’ll see how many we can get. Maybe 4 or 5? Either way, it’s been a disappointing season so far.

 

[Ozone!]

This was a good win for us; perfect, no but a good win. Unfortunately, tge evil empire, Duke, is up next.

 

[Newhouser]

Why every coach doesn't press us is insane to me. Cal for instance couldn't guard or throw it in the ocean. We can't take care of the ball or strategize to break the press. What was Madsen waiting for?

 

[MikeSU02]

Didn’t see the game. Glad we won so we nixed the losing streak. Take it on the chin with Duke, but take care of business against BC and Miami before UNC.

 

[brian williams]

What drill were they referencing?

Probably the shell drill.

Nice passing in the first half, not so much in the second.

Can’t you just be happy with a win?

 

[Nicknack]

We needed this W so great to have it. That said, Cal is just not good. They actually reminded me a lot of us.

I believe that McLeod can score inside as well if not better than Dry Hump

Please please recognize the competition. The Cal Center is not good and doesn't play on offense. Took 1 shot in 30 mins yesterday. I'm not saying Eddie some physical specimen either but McLeod is gassed after a few trips down the court.

 

[Red2003]

A good majority of the shots were open it was a bold defensive strategy that paid off.

I rewatched and didn't think so. Sure some but not as many as usual. Not like any of have watched Cal play this year but what I picked up is that they are pretty crap shooting team. They took alot of bad shots and then didn't get back like us.

When Carlos runs the court on a long rebound and gets an and 1 thats when I was like ok I'm watching the West coast version of our Cuse team this year.

 

[kcsu]

That’s still two vs. three and McLeod doesn’t put much fear in the other teams plans.

He certainly does on D

I watched the game again. Focus on the O and D possessions when McLeod is on the court
And when Lampkin is on the court. There is 100% no doubt or O ran significantly better. Not close

 

[orange79]

Jaquan carlos is our only good player

 

[Jake]

I’ll take the win but wow Cal stunk. I mean terrible. Lack of reps holding a lead really showed last night. Need to run JJ toward the inbounding baseline and Carlos parallel to get him away from the corner.

It’s easy to blame the coaches, and that may be the issue, but our players choked on a couple possessions.
