For the first time since 1960, Cal has beaten a UCLA team,
75-67.

This now makes the Golden Bears the second place team in the Pac ten
conference to Washington, who fell to the Golden Bears earlier this
season.  It also gives Lou Campinelli, Cal's new coach, his 201st
victory as a coach, and Cal an undefeated record in Harmon Arena and
13-4/5-2 overall/league records.  And anybody who saw this game on TV
today knows that Harmon can be a pretty loud place to play.

Cal in the final four?  Don't count the Golden Bear out...

        It may be the game of two decades for the bears, but what's
so big deal about beating a team that lost to North Carolina by
40+ points, got embarrassed by Washington, Notre Dame, and
even Stanford in recent weeks?

        As a matter of fact, it's a shame for the Bears to take so long
to beat the Bruins since the departure of Larry Brown. EVEN Larry
Farmer stayed unbeaten against the Bears!!!

The Golden Bears are having a pretty good season.  And they have the only
Chinese player in the NCAA (I think...anyone know for sure)?  Lou is doing
pretty well with a bunch of players of medium strength.

As far as beating UCLA, so what?  UCLA sucks this year, much as it has
the past few (though they looked good at the end of last season).  This is
a team whose tallest player is a 6'9" white guy who never played basketball
before transfering to UCLA in his junior year.  So give it a rest.

The real mystery in the PAC-10 is USC.  Wha happened?

      "even Stanford"?!?!?!

now wait a minute here....Stanford happens to be not so bad this year..we
have been doing very respectable in both the Pac-10 and overall...

actually, I think that all of this is a good example of the parity that
has reached the Pac-10 (very evident) and that has hit the NCAA in
general....


now th question is: is this good or bad??

Don't make me laugh.  Cal in the final four ?  Don't you mean the final
four for the PAC-10 ?  So Cal beat the weakest UCLA team in 25 years
with only 10 players suited up and no center.  Big Deal !  They also 
beat another powerhouse :-) USF by one point.  At least Stanford and 
UCLA plays the North Carolinas, St Johns, etc so everyone else in
basketball knows how they match up against real college basketball.
