6-6 early on.

 

[nwhoopfan]

On the other board someone was trying to sell me on Butler being much better than their 3-16 record would suggest. I humbly submit that Cal is playing a lot better the last several weeks than their 1-15 record indicates. Giving OSU all they want so far. 17-13 Beavs nearing end of Q1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cal was running the pick and roll really well to start the game. Now they've gotten sloppy on offense and OSU is getting in a groove. 30-17 at the Q2 media TO. TvO rolling, Jones having a good game and staying out of foul trouble.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Trade 3's right at the end of the half. 39-27 OSU. TvO w/ 13, 10 for Jones. McIntosh leading Cal w/ 7, 5 of them in the last 2 possessions.

 

[DefenseBB]

Imagine if TvO was there for the start of the season? Is it me or has his offense improved tremendously since that awful start? Have I mentioned that I really, really like Taylor Jones???

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cal w/ a 3 quick buckets to start Q3. This is still a ballgame.

 

[Shades]

Cal with a quick 6 out of the half

That's what I've been saying. Night and day difference since she joined the team.

Have faith, Coach Smith will eventually blow it...

 

[nwhoopfan]

lead down to 3

GET TvO back on the floor coach. Good grief.

edit--he heard me...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, now OSU back on track. Trading buckets, I'd like to see some stops.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Lead back up to 12. When did OSU turn into a fast breaking team?

 

[DefenseBB]

TvO, TvO, TvO....

 

[DefenseBB]

Who knew Rueck read the Boneyard and our observations about his teams lack of offense back in early Jan and making sure TvO gets game time!

 

[nwhoopfan]

another fast break, who is this team?

 

[DefenseBB]

How is it that Rueck will play Mitrovic meaningful minutes but Geno won't play Piath? I mean, come on, Piath is significantly more athletic than Jelena...SMH

 

[nwhoopfan]

Here comes Cal again, 14 point deficit cut in half...


TvO w/ a 3 point bomb to stem the run

 

[nwhoopfan]

56-47 thru Q3. Jones only has 1 foul, I better not see Mitrovic at all in Q4 (unless it turns into a 20+ point lead).

 

[LoTrader]

Rueck is resting a lot of starters. It will be interesting to see the OSU lineup in Q4

 

[LoTrader]

It hasn't been an inspiring defensive effort by OSU, but some of that is due to how many different player combinations Rueck has put on the floor thus far

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rueck is resting a lot of starters. It will be interesting to see the OSU lineup in Q4

3 starters but Simmons and Samuel out there. Not what I was expecting.

 

[nwhoopfan]

TvO has 3 of OSU's 4 triples today. They've been raining 3's lately, not happening today.

 

[LoTrader]

3 starters but Simmons and Samuel out there. Not what I was expecting.

Rueck is overconfident

 

[nwhoopfan]

Rueck is overconfident

Is he counting this one in the bank and trying to rest players for tomorrow? Need to finish this off first.
