Baker now at 41.7% from three on the year (5/12); Hurt at 40% (8/20); Stanley at 40% (4/10).

Carey 100% (3-3)

Dakich seems to love this Duke team. But I swear every time he started praising our defense Cal scored.

Our offense is so bad. Imagine this game without Carey.
Oh, wait. We don't have to imagine it, just think of the minutes that Javin subbed in for him.

Cal is a bad team and part of looking good is how bad they were. Of course everybody is bad offensively right now compared to where they should be in March. I do like how unselfish we're looking right now. I got so used to Duke's iso-play and this team is way different. Tre had 7 assists with zero turnovers.

Taking last night's performance with a grain of salt given how Cal was projected dead last in the Pac 12 this year.

You can't hype this team based on last nights performance in terms of offense. BUT, the potential is there for Moore, Stanley and Hurt to join Carey and Tre as reliable scorers. With how good the defense is and should continue to get better, we don't need an offensive juggernaut. Give me 4 of the above guys averaging 12+ and find some time for Baker, every game, to stretch the defense and I think we can get there. I do like this team more than I imagined I would've.
