Sagarin says Hogs are 1 point favorites at Cal

[WizardofhOgZ]

Look at his Predictor ratings, and then add the home court advantage on to Cal's rating.

Should be a close game.  If we can avoid the 6 minute scoring droughts, I like our chances.

Also how physical the refs allow the game to be always seems to be a huge factor for us...if they are whistle happy it's a for sure loss. Our style of play can't contend with it.

All depends on how the game is called and I like the idea of having refs we don't use in the SEC season. I also like the idea that their missing two bigs and likely will have a sparse crowd for a 8pm tip on Monday. I think those are the biggest factor.

I also pray to dear baby Jesus that Bill Walton is not calling the game.

Is it 8pm our time or theirs?

I read on one of their sties where Bill is going to color commentate.

Bill is not so bad. You just have to remember that he was a wannabe hippy back in the day and realize he probably burned out his mind with ganja and possibly acid. When he goes off on a tangent think about having to live with the flashbacks from dropping acid during Greatful Dead concerts.

Their time.

But didn't we all do that?

How else could we be so informed. Ya know. lol!!!

I find Walton to be hilarious and incredibly entertaining. I HOPE he does color commentary for our game.

I can't stand to listen to his west coast bias and only find it tolerable when I am pulling for a team he is pulling for. Trust me.....he will for sure 100% be slanted towards Cal and it will show immediately.

If the game is called like the Wichita State/Kentucky game, both teams will be beat to death.

He seemed to favor Lsu vs San Fran last week fwiw.

I love Bill Walton. He's kind of like Bob Knight, you can't put them on any important games, but they are a nice side show for the otherwise meaningless ones.

One of his sons (Adam) played for Dale Brown at LSU. Maybe that has something to do with it.
