And yet, if Brink doesn’t hit that 3 we probably lose. If Lepolo doesn’t hit that 3 we probably lose. So, ultimately, not bad shots.

So, if a team shoots the ball as they cross the half court line 30 times in a game, and hits one, they're not bad shots ultimately?

Maybe some of the issue was this was the first road game in a long while and since we beat cal pretty handily at Maples, perhaps the intensity was not quite there.  Might help us overall if cal can play tough against our common opponents coming up.  Can't focus on us too much if cal is a threat.

Yes, the game was a bit of a trap.  But the problem, as I saw it, was our offense wasn't working.  Jump didn't get many shots.  Jones didn't get too many decent drives.  The only thing that was working was to get the ball to Brink in the paint or on the block.  Lepolo's drives through the lane (not to shoot, but to get someone open) didn't happen.

Cal did a good job of clogging the paint, and also didn't allow Jump to get shots off.
