Plumlee was a freshman with Anthony Davis.....seriously.

He's in grad school. Guess he will be the first Plumlee not to enter the draft, he's going to West Point next.

[J.Jennings]

Sloppy but I'll take it. Rebounding concerns me....

One thing I think has been exposed. That Allen kid, he's just not as good as the numbers indicate. When he drives he's always jetting to get a call, but he can't beat his man, and can't create his shot.

Knock on wood, the kid might have a better second half, but he doesn't show any skill that can carry a team, to me.

I think i either overestimated Puke's guards, or severely underestimated our guardss. Probably some of both. But, it is refreshing to see how comfortable and quick our entire backcourt looks.

I'm proud at how little pressure they seem to suffer, even when Puke is up on them.

My wife asked me coach K.s name and I said RAT FACE- she said that's not nice--- I said that's one of the nicer names I call him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BLUE!!!!

Our backcourt is a trio of stone cold killers. Not afraid at all.

Duke wanted no part of that game except for Plumlee and a few possessions from Jones. The fact that we're only up 6 is basically a win for them in some ways. We didn't really dominate them, but it was close.

I love Briscoe. Guy just doesn't care and looks like the biggest a-hole on the court 100% of the time. That mouthpiece cracks me up.

[J.Jennings]

Its early but possible Skal could be the most overrated under developed top recruit Cal has had. Im not sure hes built to bang in the lane at this point much less the Nba...Hope i am entirely wrong about him.

[J.Jennings]

Briscoe brings that "bring it" factor. Sort of Kemba Walker but more rugged and able to take a hit on the drive...

You are.

He's not going to be good in games where he has to try and root out 25-year-olds. But offensively he's the best big man Cal has coached since Camby.

Tough game for him so far but young big men take some time. Cousins struggled too early on. Took Willie two solid years. He'll be fine.
