The Huskies had their most complete defensive effort of the season, forcing Cal into 22 turnovers, and holding them to 33% shooting. Cal’s biggest star, Jerome Randle finished with five points and eight turnovers.

We could have won by 30 if we wanted. We looked great, let’s keep it going next week.

Nice to see this team starting to play to its potential. If these guys keep improving and playing well together we could make quite the run in March. Gaddy, Suggs and MBA are all starting to play better. None of them have reached their plateau however. The defense is suffocating, it just sets the tone for the game. I love seeing Holiday in the starting lineup, I love seeing IT playing Overton like defense. Can you remember the last time that the dawgs got so many dunks over a two game stretch? Just shows how they’re hustling and playing more physical. I love it, go dawgs!
