Knocking down the three and disecting the zone on the drive!

Looking legit and like another scoring threat.

I knew cal was going to give him the minutes. I can't believe how many people didn't see it.

The kid plays defense and bounces around the rim. He's already way better than Willis. Cal will play the ones that want it and the ones that play defense. Period.

I love Charles. Love he'll be here 2-3 years too. He's going to be our rock next year with all the talented freshman.
 
He is playing like a beast. Stroking 3s, dunking oops. Coming out party. He is a good as anyone on the damn team it appears. Well maybe not far off anyway. His upside is crazy!!
 
He's looked very solid in first half and I couldn't be happier for the kid. I've liked him since he first committed. We've been seeing glimpses lately of what he can bring to the team and tonight he's been great.
 
I would like to see Willis play more when teams zone us.


And yes Matthews is playing real good.

He likely would, but he hasn't made a three since the second game. If he's not making them, he's not going to get much PT.
 
Seems to be a humble, quiet kid as well. Not a trash talker.

Just think if he improves his shooting. He's gonna be good either way but if he improves his shooting he can be a great player and a high 1st rounder in a year or 2. I really like him. He needs to be working on his shooting though.
 
I just came here to say Matthews > Kennard. [cheers]

Just wanted to say I agree with this 100%. When Kennards shot isn't falling - and it isn't early in his freshmen season - he's pretty much useless.

Matthews on the other hand can contribute in multiple ways even when his shot is off. Really happy he is a Wildcat.

Briscoe played poorly tonight, Matthews picked up his slack.
Briscoe SHOT poorly. That doesn't mean he played poorly, though. He still had a big impact on the defensive end, grabbed 6 rebounds, and had 7 assists.

Part of what makes Briscoe so effective is that he doesn't need to make jumpshots in order to be a really, really good player. It's obviously better if he does make shots, but he's got every other area of the game covered.

Briscoe played a terrific game and I think Cal found his 7th man tonight in Matthews.

Nah. Briscoe made a few bad decisions. He over-penetrated in the lane a few times and got stuck forcing a shot or making a bad pass. But that's bound to happen. No one is perfect, and he's a freshman, so will make these sorts of mistakes as he learns. But he did a very good job distributing the ball and running the point. And he played stellar defense most is the night.

Not a surprise to me. Charles is gonna be a lottery pick in the future. He rebounds, he can score, and he can play D. Great athlete with explosiveness. Gonna be loads of fun watching him grow while playing here.
 
Looking more comfortable on the court. Best athlete on tube team imo. Attacking the rim very well. Love his game.
 
I argued with some that there was no way Cal would be able to keep him off the floor and they kept saying that Cal would only play 8 and he would get mop up duty. It has always been obvious he can play.
 
Briscoe IMO was sensational. Luis goes down,and did we leak oil? Not one bit.

Luis has taught Briscoe a lot already, and just because Cal wasn't happy doesn't mean I'm unhappy.

This was a perfect team for us to learn how to play without Tyler. We've seen Cal not have confidence in his other Points, but I like that Briscoe was aggressive with a double digit lead.

He knows he needs to work on his shooting, and I can assure you, he is.

Who's Luis? You mentioned him twice.
