I’m glad to see Cal get a win. It’s been a brutal season for them in so many different ways. No one wants to see any of these kids go 0 for conference.
Charli is probably going ape-shi-t though. Though she seems to understand that she has a very young team. They’ll be much better next year.
Cal is playing better and congrats to them for getting their first win, nobody likes going winless in a season.
However, ASU's offense is not exactly scaring anyone (team averages of 54.3 ppg/32.7% FG) and Cal won despite surrendering 22 offensive rebounds to the Sun Devils. If we lose to Cal despite grabbing 22 offensive rebounds, then there will be a lot to worry about.
We should respect every opponent we face, whether it's 18-1 UConn or 1-14 Cal, but we should also be confident, given the talent we have, that we can beat anyone we face, especially this season, where there is no dominant and seemingly unbeatable team, a la the Breanna Stewart-led Huskies team of half a decade ago.
