Cal

[OrangeBlood]

Not much talk on the board about tonights game...

What is everyone really worried about?

Oppositely, what is everyone confident about?

I am worried that Crabbe will go off early and the crowd will get into it. They will start to believe and it will be a battle that comes down to the last minutes.

Also worried that they will zone us and we will have a a bad shooting night. We will not be able to dominate inside like Thursday night.

I am pretty confident that Cal will not play as well as they did Thursday. We are the better team. If we don't play horrible, I think we have a real good shot it win. If Triche stays hot, I REALLY like our chances. Most importantly, I hope our guys don't overlook Cal seeing their a 12 seed and start looking forward to IU.

I admit to having little to no clue about Cal, other than the Pac 12 is apparently better than people gave it credit for and they beat a pretty talented UNLV team. I also understand they don't shoot particularly well and grind more than anything.

If we play the way we are capable it will be a walk. The problem is we very rarely play up to our abilities, so I'm expecting it to be a single digit game. Play smart, don't fall in love with the 3, and limit mental lapses on defense and the glass and we should be okay.

The first thing I'm worried about in every game, no matter the opponent:
- They get hot from 3 and stay hot

Crabbe scares me, but if he has an off night we win going away. I'm confident that Triche will continue to be solid and CJ will make his shots. I hope MCW is smart with the ball and Southerland hits some treys early.

I'm not worried about the crowd at all.

i am hoping we can get a good start out of the gate while cal tries to work to a comfort level against the zone.. i do worry about us if we get behind early and the team losing composure.

Im worried about stupid to's, bad 1/2 court offense, and poor close outs on the 3.

this year, i worry more about us than i do the opposition.

the 2 types of teams I worry about are the teams that are great shooters and the clutch/grab/foul teams...Cal doesn't appear to be either.

I worry that MCW will shoot the ball more than four times and that JS will clang 8 of 9 shots off the rim. I think if we prevent both of those we'll win.
Cal is playing well right now so plan on a nail biter.
