[RockyMTblue2]

2 tight teams. both moving well,but hoops not coming.

Dukes pressure starting to cause big problems.

Dukes pressure starting to cause big problems.

No mention that Cal was sitting their starting guards with 2 fouls when that happened? Kinda makes a difference, no?

 

[ASweet3781]

The #2 and #9 ranked teams in WCBB just missed 5 layups in a row in the post.

Freedom of movement wont solve that pressing problem in this sport.

quick whistle

Cal's guard play is pretty bad and the fouls are mounting. Can't get a good read on Duke off this game so far.

 

[ASweet3781]

Very impressive. Cal was bound and determined to suck the energy out of what was a great crowd and they seem to have accomplished that.

 

[ASweet3781]

Nice total lack of toughness there by Cal to get a rebound and let it get poked out by a Duke player for a basket.

Cal looks over matched on the boards. 17 total fouls in 13 minutes isn't helping the watchability of the game either

 

[ASweet3781]

Some energy from Cal out of the timeout, 2 straight 3's.

 

[ASweet3781]

Ahhh there's the up and down Duke I know. Cal goes from down 12 to down 1 with the ball.

 

[rvwsleep]

How many 3 ft shots haven't hit the rim in this game ? It's unbelievable.
But wait. A quote from "Young Frankenstein" "LIFE" !!!!! Cal wakes up

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I still think Cal has all the pieces to be a really good team!

24-23 Duke

But the real question is.... Are there any "special visitors" in the house?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Question for our Duke friends??

How does JPM manage minutes with that roster and keep everybody happy?

 

[ASweet3781]

Cal's post players give up 3 straight offensive rebounds to end the half.

Duke's guards brick 3 open attempts at 3's.

That about sums it up.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

True, it is first real game of the season and Gray returns from last year's lay off, but these 2 do not look like #2 and #9. Half court game of both is pretty lame and if CAL's bigs had shown up today it would be even uglier.

 

[pap49cba]

30-25 Duke at the half.

Gray is limping, so she is not 100%.

Gray is limping, so she is not 100%.

Chelsea Gray is BACK.

 

[ASweet3781]

Cal's post players are why so many people can't get into women's basketball. Uncoordinated and sloppy.

 

[ASweet3781]

Impressive, one Cal post player just missed 3 point blank lay ups in a row.

 

[Vowelguy]

Seems like the same Cal from last season's NCAAs - a struggle to score.
