Cal-Stanford is one i have my eye on tonight. Throwback Pac-12 style Friday night game. Both teams are decent, Stanford is down a bit from last year and Cal is improved.

Me too. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if we walk out of the Haas Mausoleum with a win.

I was watching volleyball, but 2 games about at the half I'm mildly interested in. Portland is dominating Portland St. in a cross city game (I'm not sure how much of a real rivalry the schools have w/ each other; I know for certain that Washington and Seattle U. is completely nonexistent despite being a few miles apart from each other). The other is BYU at Washington St. A battle of the Cougars. BYU has a much better record but not much in the way of resume wins.
 
BYU-Wazzu was close most of the way...then it wasn't. Delaney Gibb heated up and BYU ran away with it. She scored a career high 26. WSU fell to 4-6. Is Ethridge gonna have to get added to the list of coaches who had a star player make them look much better than they actually were?
 
I've watched a number of BYU games this year. Amari Whiting befuddles me. She seems to have all the tools, it just seems like she isn't playing up to the level she should be. Everything looks good, but she just struggles to get shots to drop. Shooting 36% overall and 13% from 3 so far.

Okay, but I didn't have Cal turning this into a blowout on my bingo card.

I'm a little surprised by the margin, but not the direction. We have no go to playmaker on our team, live and die by our outside shooting, and our best inside option is a 6'1" (and change) post who averaged 6 points a game last season. I have faith in the rebuild, but Rome wasn't (re)built in a night.

Gonna need to consult the ACC history books to see the last time Cal won by 20+

I found series history back to 1999.
Previous biggest win for Cal was 72-57 in 2007.
Over that span Stan won 49. Cal 7.
 
I had a fantastic time watching Cal drop 18 3s on Stanford. So happy for this team and Charmin! I also love how much the players in this team support one another. Great chemistry.

Cal looks like a top 25 team. They have notable wins against Stanford and Alabama, and their only loss is to Michigan State.

I'm also glad to see Suarez thriving at Cal. She was one of the players I enjoyed to watch whenever South Carolina played Tennessee.
 
Good revenge win for creighton. They actually lost to Green Bay last year.

When your starters hit 17 of 33 from the arc, you're probably going to win.

Sometimes the opponent's shooting is just too hot, but Stanford's been a hard team to figure out this year.

Look out for Tennessee scoring in the 130+ range against hapless NCCU.

Ahem. Vols hit 130 w/ just under 4 minutes left. Could see this coming a mile away. 130-50. Not sure why anyone schedules NCCU, there is nothing to be gained from a game like this. Will fall to 0-12 after this.
 
Jacks set to tip against the UN SF Dons who are as experienced as NAU. SF may be the best 2-5 team in the country with 2 point losses to Columbia and Boise State and a 6 point loss to Seton Hall.
 
Latham let everybody down. Missed 1 of 2 FTs w/ 33 seconds left that would've gotten the Vols to 140. Had to settle for a nail biting 139-59 win.

I'll say this for the style of play. It's a fabulous for putting up gaudy point totals against really bad teams and inflating players' scoring averages in the process.
 
I’m sorry Tennessee. I like the direction your program is headed. But I don’t know why you scheduled that game. I don’t think it makes you better.

I think LSU played them too.
