The men’s team was voted preseason favorites on the basis of a great recruiting class, led by Bol and King. Bol is out and King missed the first month of the season plus all the practice time prior to the season, which is the time most teams get their chemistry and lineups worked out.shoparound wrote:Yeah I guess there was no reason at all for anyone to have thought the men's team to be voted as P-12 favorites preseason.

Back to the women. Outstanding effort. Composed, unselfish and relentless. Just a joy to watch them dissect the opposing teams defensive strategy. High basketball IQ and Graves is fun to watch. Cazorla is fast becoming one of my favorite players. So smooth and unflappable. Just think how bad this blowout would have been if they called the ticky tack fouls they called on Ruthy were equally enforced on Cal’s bigs. Steely assassins this bunch! Now time to get that Stanford monkey off our back. Go Ducks!
