MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - JJJ - 02-04-2021

Should move to espn2
Now on espn2

None of the 3 former starters are back again (DD, BW, ZW).
13-13 at the first commercial break.
Da Silva, Delaire, and now a suprising 6pts from Murrell giving us the 32-25 lead for now but both defenses being stingy.

RE: MBB at Cal on espn2 - JJJ - 02-04-2021

Noah Taitz with 8 including a two-handed jam! What?!
42-29 at the half as we end with 61% in FGs.

RE: MBB at Cal on espn2 - JJJ - 02-04-2021

The two teams taking turns going on scoring droughts. We’re up 8 with under 7 to go.
And in the end, we play like we should and avoid a bad loss for bracketology.
70-55

The 3 guys out are now “day to day” and we might even see one or more back for our rematch this weekend.

Was Keefe unavailable today?

Good win considering all the unavailable players.

Safe to say if Murrell keeps playing like he did tonight, Keefe will have a hard time getting back on the court.

I didn’t hear any mention of Keefe  and couldn’t tell you if he was dressed on the bench.

RE: MBB at Cal on espn2 - BobK - 02-04-2021

Considering our two recent close loses I think this was a very good win. Fine play by Murrell and Taiz

RE: MBB at Cal on espn2 - martyup - 02-04-2021

What happened to our free throw shooting?  Tonight we were 14 for 24 (58.3%).  We almost made a higher % of FG (54%) than free throws.  

Anyway, good win in Berzerkely.  Cal sucks!

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - Papa John - 02-04-2021

This may have been mentioned elsewhere, but did folks know that Trent Johnson is Deputy Analyst & Director of Player Development for Cal basketball? Cal's current coach, Mark Fox, was an assistant for TJ back in his Nevada days.

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - JJJ - 02-05-2021

I had heard Trent Johnson’s name mentioned but I wasn’t paying attention to the context. I was also not around these parts during those days, so I don’t have any institutional knowledge. Happy for the Cliff Notes if you have them, Papa John. :)

I see that the kickoff time for Super Bowl LV is 3:30PT and the Weenie game is currently slated to tip off at 7:00PT. I know where I’ll be tuning in to at 7:00.

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - Phogge - 02-05-2021

Fox is doing a great job with what he has which is Kelly and Bradley. I didn't think that they would win a game.

Keefe played 40 garbage time seconds.

When you say "our," you mean 2 guys. Kisunas 0-4 (unsurprising) and Delaire 2-5 (surprising).

Well the Cliff Notes are on the Cal basketball website. I'd provide a link, but I don't want to break the CardBoard.

Haha, I meant what Nerd Nation thought about his departure. I had heard rumblings that he wasn't quite asked to leave, but he didn't have much choice. Was the mood here happy or sad? Sorry, that was before I joined.

Trent's contract was up. Bowlsby thought he was for sure going to re-sign. Trent decided to take more money to go elsewhere (LSU), and Bowlsby didn't have a plan B. This led to the hiring of Dawkins, who cratered the program - not entirely his fault. Muir should have fired him 3 years earlier

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - Papa John - 02-05-2021

Oh, right, basically what winflop said is my understanding. Although there were varying viewpoints on the CardBoard re: Dawkins, given that he did lead the team to a sweet sixteen 16 appearance. But, IIRC, you'd have to talk to lsjumb76 if you want to relitigate the Dawkins case. Having said that, my memory--again it was a long time ago--was that most folks on the Board were not at all pleased with Trent Johnson and surprised/disappointed with Bowlsby's lack of awareness/preparation.

Thank you and winflop for the scoop. I had heard that the extension offered was so short that he would’ve been in the same lame duck position the following year? Something like that. Anyway, I don’t wish him any ill will.

I lay this entire fiasco at the feet of Bumbling Bob. He assumed that Trent would re-sign after the season and was completely unprepared if he didn't. You ***ALWAYS*** have a Plan B for every head coach, especially your top programs. The big mistake was made a year earlier. Trent's contract should have been extended after the previous season.

I was plenty happy with Trent. 3 of his 4 teams went to the NCAAs and one team made the Sweet 16. In light of the decade-plus since, he's by far the best of the three coaches since Monty - not factoring in his dismal record since he left the Farm.

Last word on Dawkins - the Sweet 16 was ONE GOOD WEEK. Both before and after that week the team looked like it didn't belong in the tournament.

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - BobK - 02-06-2021

Plan B was right there. Until he went to cal

RE: MBB: STAN 70 WEENIES 55 - SamuelMcF - 02-06-2021

Funny enough, Trent is now an assistant under Mark Fox at Cal.
