Quick summary of OSU game

(12-2) #15 Cal @ (8-7) Oregon St.
Jan 12 2008

LOSS 79-81 (sim)

Cal drops it's second straight game to a last place Beaver squad, after leading 36-30 at halftime. Oregon St. fought back with center Schaftenaar leading the way with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Jerome Randle had 14 points and 8 assists, Ryan Anderson had 22 and 6 rebounds, and DeVon Hardin had 14 points and 2 blocks. Very tough loss to swallow, and the Bears might drop out of the top 25.

Next is Arizona St. on Thursday, who are 8-7. They're 2-1 in Pac 10 play, with wins over the two Oregon teams Cal lost to, and a 50-57 loss against Arizona. They've played two other currently ranked teams, losing to #17 Illionis and #18 Xavier. THey did however, beat Duke at Cameron, 85-61. Super freshman James Harden is their high scorer, with 16.9 PPG.

Sorry no game pic, for some reason it wouldn't let me access replays this game. By the way, instead of making a whole new post about it, I'll just say it here. New polls came out, and I go from being unranked to #14!

We caught up with Coach Ben Braun for his mid-season (a little over) thoughts.

"We've had a fantastic season so far, I would've never imagined it with only 2 upperclassmen on the team. Anderson has stepped up a lot throughout the year, but I'll be honest, he's hit a bit of a speed bump as of late. I think it's partly my fault for swtiching up the lineup, and I think I'm going to go back to Randle, Christopher, Boykin/Vierneisel, Anderson, and Hardin as the starters. We've got a helluva lot of talent, and Jordan Wilkes has stepped up big time, although his stats may not reflect it. The 7' footer no doubt makes some teams shy away from the post, and with our size, I think we can continue our winning ways for the remainder of the season, but we can't get too comfortable."


So, here's my new month in review thing. You like?

Yep, it's nice. I am mainly following this over at the 2K boards, but I thought I'd chime in anyways.
