keep it going. >> don: contested from 25. i hate to say it. i hope we don't jinx him, barry. the "z" word is starting to feel right, doesn't it? the zone. 19 big points for klay thompson. he's made six in a row. >> barry: he is on fire. >> don: you don't want to jinx him with that zone call. that was a deep three. >> barry: he and randle putting on a show here. gutierrez strives baseline, double time. >> don: he scores. again, the aggressiveness of gutierrez, no shot blocking in there with castro on the bench. nice play by him. come on. >> barry: not this time. >> don: you know what that was. that was the heat check right there. >> barry: exactly. gutierrez comes back the other way. now he gives it up. tries to drop it inside to sanders-frison. >> don: double heat check, two times in a row. >> barry: he came around the

screen that time. thames puts it on the floor and draws the foul. they are going to get gutierrez on the foul. it first they signal gutierrez. we'll take a time-out. 6:47 remaining to be played in the first half. u have heelsure huh. u hahighs. f ally

>> barry: cougars on fire early in this game. they lead it by nine. klay thompson with 16. 40-point scorers to the pac-10 conference have been something of a rarity. klay thompson did it this year. >> don: leon powe should probably have an asterisk. that was a double overtime game. this has been impressive by klay thompson here early. second in the conference. who knows, after today he may be in first if he puts another 40 spot on the board. it's been impressive the way he's done. he started early by being aggressive and going to the rim more. that's just opened up that three-point line. he's made contested ones. youio, gutierrez with seven. but it's not that cal hasn't been there. i think early they weren't there. now they've come up. now he's making tough shots.

it's been, like i said, impressive the first 13 minutes. it's always nice, barry, the score, when you have more points than minutes played. >> barry: i'll say. >> don: that's what you like. >> barry: you know about that. >> don: more points than minutes. >> barry: he gets the first free throw. he gets them both. >> don: let's give washington state's defense some credit, too. it hasn't been that easy. they have stops. a little three-quarter court pressure here. they usually drop back into a zone out of this. we'll see what they do. they've done a nice job of mixing it up. played some zone, played some man. >> barry: randle, long tres again. he has another one. that's good for him. >> don: i'm just shocked at how deep the guys can go on the threes. that was another nba three for randle. >> barry: he'll come out here and shoot 100 of those shots three hours before the game.

harthun, good three-point shooter, not this time. the rebound pulled down by the smallest man on the court, thames, he gets knocked down, no call. robertson of the bears. >> don: like the effort of washington state on glass. >> barry: long three, christopher. we talked about this being a shootout. it's been that. >> don: nice call, barry, on the shootout. threes good lore from everybody. everybody getting into the act. that time christopher and again, not an easy shot. there was a defender from washington state there. but they're in rhythm, knocking them down. >> barry: bears 7 of 9, cougs 6 of 8, that's from three-point range. 34-29 ball game now. mike montgomery trying to coach it up. the guy was talking to his catalyst out there, jerome randle. here's what he had to say about him. >> the one thing about jerome that's a little bit unique is he has the ability to score in

unusual ways. by that i mean, he could be coming down, running the break. guys are trying to find the shooters. he'll stop at 28 feet and, bang, hit a three. you just don't expect that. >> barry: he's done is twice today. three times today. >> don: most career three-pointers made. he's climbing up a lot of charts. as i mentioned in our open, probably going to finish his careers acal's all-time leading scorer, fourth in assists all-time. and probably going to be career free-throw percentage leader all-time at cal. he had a tremendous career here. >> barry: he goes to the basket. >> don: i don't think cal will sit around and watch thompson get 40 on them. they'll do more to try and limit him, which should open up more stuff for washington state guys.

>> barry: another one of those guys out of the australian institute of sport. he came here with pretty good press clippings. he has to get stronger, his coaches say. randle, why not. you go for three, let's go for four. >> don: he has to get up, big-time shot for jerome randle. >> barry: the bears have made their last six threes and they still trail. >> don: because of this guy. >> barry: thompson knocked off balance by sanders-frison. and he'll go to the line. randle has just passed joe shipp for number three all-time amongest california scorers. number three is sean lampley. >> don: he's sitting next to us over here. murray played in the nba for a long time. cousin of tracy murray. >> barry: there's sean lampley.

you played with him. >> don: miami heat. had a tremendous career. he got off to a good start in his career. he amassed a bunch of points. he's still playing. impressive that jerome randle at his size, more than likely going to be the all-time leading scorer here at cal. >> barry: thompson now has 20. >> don: i know we mentioned it a lot, barry. give washington state credit for the start they've gotten off to. cal, maybe not up into it as much as you'd like if you're mike montgomery, but an important close to the half. >> barry: i would think if you're ken bone, you're thinking my team is playing about as good as it can. they lead by six. >> don: they are leaving randle. they have to know they can pull from there. >> barry: capers. comes down to boykin. he tries to score with the left hand. they have numbers. four on two.

capers. >> don: you see the fake, the look to castro. casto was running hard on the right side. shifted the defender and finished it. nice play. >> barry: the cougs shooting it at 65%. that's pretty good. >> don: you're up eight. >> barry: yes. randle has the longer capers on it. capers a good defender. >> don: blocked the last one. >> barry: sanders-frison reached for that pass. casto got a hand on it. randle comes down with it. 12 on the shot clock. >> don: washington state defense has picked up in the last few minutes. >> barry: deep three, no. boykin, the rebound. christopher for the three. and they are, you're right, they're defending well on the perimeter. thompson all the way. >> don: he got a piece of that

shot by christopher and kind of liked out and got the lead pass. but heads up play by klay thompson. >> barry: thompson with 23 in the ball game. still 3:19 to go. randle leads for christopher. another three on its way. too hard. it's knocked away. and they're going to get sanders-frison on the foul. >> don: a little too hard, a little too quick from christopher, too. >> barry: so another time-out. 3:12 remains in the first half.

>> barry: 3:12 remaining in the first half. tomorrow, america sport comes home. nascar goes back to its roots. it all starts with grammy award winner tim mcgraw performing live in the daytona 500 prerace show. that leads up to the great american race. the 2010 season of nascar on fox begins tomorrow with the daytona 500 at noon eastern, 9:00 pacific. >> don: barry we've been talking about how washington state's shooting such a high percentage. they're at almost 67%. cal still within range. they're also doing it without reggie moore. he's had two fouls, played ten minutes. hasn't scored, a guy we highlighted in the open.

you can look at that both ways. you're disappo

ball, down. look t.

say that maybe that's gh. i have a feeling they're going to reverse this and call it a bucket. because even though his hand didn't hit the rim until after he blocked it. >> barry: that's close. we have a good officiating team here. they'll go over, explain it to both coaches. i think they're going to keep it as called. no goaltend.

theo robinson. he tries to get it back. koprivica will take it to the basket and fouled. they're going to say that he tornadoed the ball over, that he palmed the ball. >> don: good defensive series by washington state. they get the turnover. they're going the other way. koprivica not known for his ballhandling, obviously. yes, he turned it over trying to get control of it to score. >> barry: the bears catch a break here. with 46 seconds. randle rejected again by capers. eight blocks in the first half. >> don: that's why capers is on randle. even if he doesn't get to his three ball out there, if randle tries to put it on the deck, he can go get it. nice play by capers. >> barry: he inbounds. one shot. there's capers again.

and a grab foul on christopher. and christopher is thinking i'm going to -- they are, they're going to call it intentional. that's about the worst thing that could happen in cal. coming up on the halftime show, jerome randle will show you the art of throwing free throws. the first half highlights coming newspaper a few minutes on the pac-10 college hoops halftime show. two and possession. capers misses the first. >> don: it was an intentional foul. christopher trying to stop the break, grabbed him around the waist. we've seen washington state a few times. they haven't played as well as maybe they should have. they're playing as good as they can right now. it's not just because klay thompson is going off.

they're defense has been superb in the first half, contesting, rebounding, blocking shots. impressive first half for washington state. >> barry: capers' second shot. it's good. and they will still have the ball. and a five-second difference between game clock and shot clock. >> marques: they've extended this lead up to 11. thompson hasn't scored here in a few minutes. >> barry: moore has been on the bench, as we said, they've done this in charge part with bench players. >> don: what do you think ken bone will talk about at halftime? that graphic right there. >> barry: that's what he's going to talk about. koprivica outside 18 on the shot clock. >> don: they try and run this all the way down. >> barry: thames. seven on the shot clock. thompson again, got a man in the

air. tried to leave it. never to say it's off of the bears. >> don: thompson should have shot that one. he was pulled up at the corner. >> barry: they have to get it up in a second. they don't. a shot clock violation. bears have it with just under five seconds remaining. >> don: he got the cal player in the air. should have looked for contact and got him two free throws. he should have got it to koprivica. it's deflected by the cal player. >> barry: randle will try to get it up here. i don't think he did it in time. no basket. we'll take a look at it. i believe that that shot was not made before the shot clock -- or before t halftime clock ran down. no basket for california. 45-34 ball game at the half. one second left. watch the scoreboard now.

and that shot did not leave his hand before time ran out. good time, aby the officials. their call was right once again. another look at it. it's already at zero before the ball left jerome randle's hand. so the cougs play a brilliant half of basketball. they lead it 45-34. when we come back, the pac-10 college hoops halftime show, including don maclean and jerome randle on the art of shooting free throws. en aecia risk theflu soyourinat fn moflu. tor, we can all fight the flu.

we welcome you back to the pac-10 college happens halftime show. the cougs lead it by 11. barry tompkins, don maclean alongside. we always talk about free-throw shooting and how important it is for the outcome of any game.

you're a great free-throw shooter and you had a chance to visit with a pretty darn good if the it the shooter himself. >> don: he's shooting almost 92% this year, 87% for his career. confidence is a big part of that. especially for young kids, a routine is really important. he talks about that with us yesterday. take us through that free-throw routine. >> first i come up, come up to the line, make sure my feet are parallel, my right is always in front of my left. take a deep breath. roll it out, kiss my tattoo, three dribbles. eyes on the rim. >> don: now, pretty simple, jerome. not much to that routine. have you had that routine for a long time. >> since i was a sophomore in high school. >> don: what's going through

your head, late game, close game, first half, any difference? >> no difference. when you think about it too much, that's when a lot of guys miss. i remember my mother telling me they're free. just don't think about it. just go up there and shoot the ball. >> don: keep the same routine. if you do, you can become the university of california's all-time career free-throw percentage leader. nice job, jerome. >> thanks. >> barry: i like what he said, a free throw is free. so why not take advantage of it. you know what, he can step out and shoot the three as well. po keeping the bears in the ball

fautiks.o >> barry: we welcome you back to the pac-10 college hoops halftime show. it has been the washington state cougars show in the first half against the california golden bears. 45-34. cougs over the bears. you have to say, don, this was the klay thompson show. >> don: the best individual performance i've seen for a half all year. 8 of 11 from the floor. 5 of 5 from hentd line, 23 big points. if you're going to win on the road you need supreme efforts like that. >> barry: they played lights out in the first half, top to bottom. reggie moore didn't score. >> don: he didn't. he had two fouls early. take a look at some of the shots from klay thompson. it's not like cal wasn't guarding him, but good movement, without the ball, his teammates

were getting it to him, looking to establish him early. late in the first half, other guys got it going. typically, jerome randle when you have 12 points at halftime, you feel good about yourself until you look across the court and the other guy has 23. i have a feeling that it will be key. >> don: what a perfect half the cougs play. they shot 65%. but the number that really jumps out at me is that blocked shot number. nine blocked shots. when they put capers on jerome randle, that took randle out of the california offense. it will be interesting to see what adjustments the coaches made. we're coming back.

phe tor hoater on this rn and pl mo. in s a7. reereydh me a official's call cost them a victory. and most people up to and including the officials agree that that was the wrong call when they really should be 6-6 right now. >> don: important to get off to a good start for both teams, particularly cal, down 11. >> barry: they tried to post up theo robertson. >> don: i think mike montgomery might have recognized what we were talking about in the first half, a lot of quick jumpers. you can get the shots any time in the shot clock, let's try and attack the rim a little bit. that will open up the perimeter. we can all get threes at the end of the shot clock.

>> barry: christopher off the inbounds pass. a man in the air and missed a shot. boykin gets it back. here's robertson for three. it won't go. three chances for the bears. >> don: the effort of cal. they didn't have supreme effort in the first half. a couple offensive rebounds that time and boykin who didn't help, a big first half starts them off here with a big bucket. >> barry: reggie moore back in the starting lineup to start the second half. he had two early fouls. only played ten minutes in the first half and was not productive. >> don: unless he picks up two quick ones, i'll bet we'll see him the entire second half. >> barry: credit boik within that one. here's randle on capers. boykin springs up and knocks it down. >> don: that's what seniors do right there. your team's down, you're a

little the flat, you come out of the locker room with two big buckets to get your team right back in it. >> barry: he got a hand on that one. it went off of reggie moore, i believe. it will be california basketball again. >> don: good time-out, ken bone. >> barry: stop the bleeding here. i'm sure he's reminded them of what happened on thursday night when they lost an 18-point lead with ten minutes to play against stanford, ultimately lost the ball game. we're coming back.

>> barry: here's your opportunity to win two tickets to the men's basketball tournament. to enter go to www.pac-10.org and click on the entry link. washington state two possessions, two turnovers. they volcano had the a shot in the second half. california, two possessions, two offensive rebounds and two baskets. >> don: they got to establish thompson again. he had 26 touches on 32 washington state possessions in the first half. that was by design. they got to get it to him. and cal hasn't won a conference championship in over -- what is that -- i'm not a math major. >> barry: 50 years. this is the 50th year. >> don: a good start to the second half for them.

>> barry: they were down 14 against ucla. christopher gets the roll. and they did come back from a 14-point deficit against the bruins. >> don: everything at the rim for cal in the second half. >> barry: and christopher is just in thompson's pocket. which was the bears' game plan to begin with. >> don: the level is up for cal defensively. >> barry: knocked out of bounds by boykin. >> don: this is a different cal team defensively when what we saw in the first half. they've brought the intensity in the second half. they realized what happened in the first half. >> barry: koprivica for three. a little bit short. rebound to boykin. boykin's been everywhere in the second half. >> don: second half couldn't have started any better for cal. >> barry: this is gutierrez. gutierrez with the pump fake.

to robertson. >> don: it's blocked. >> barry: great job by casto. unbelievable play by casto. he's out of position, reached back and blocked the shot. >> don: most blocks all-time for washington state and n a game is 12. they already have ten. casto just fly swatting that thing, get that out of here. nice defensive play. >> barry: bears maintain possession. christopher. >> don: that's what seniors do. i mentioned it in the first half. the hard part in playing cal is you key on randle and christopher and robertson can hurt you. >> barry: eight unanswered to start the second half for the bears. he's flying and a block on gutierrez who got the worst of it. >> don: bounces right back up. but, again, the level of intensity of cal's defense, it looks different than it did in that first half. washington state needs a hoop.

>> barry: cal showing a little zone. >> don: don't see much of that with the bears. >> barry: castro to the basket and he got it to go. almost jammed it off the rim a little bit too hard. >> don: a little high-low action. >> barry: that was casto. got a hand on that one. capers and casto. casto on the wings and the finish. >> don: good poise by casto. he kind of hesitated. boykin looked like he was going to step in and take the charge. nice finish. >> barry: there's nice "d" being played on both ends of the floor here. >> don: it looks like cal was going to come all the way back. it was a one-possession game. they push it back up to seven. >> barry: christopher, a tough shot. he got it to go. >> don: christopher didn't do much in that first half. he's looking to score here early in the second half. five quick points.

>> barry: here's thompson, thompson, he comes up short. gets it back. and is fouled from behind. thompson really moving well without the ball. watch the play by casto here just a moment ago. >> don: randle, a little bit out of control here. looks to split. and casto coasted away. the capers under control. casto eludes the defender. nice transitioning. you have to capitalize on those. if you get a steal and you have numbers, you have to finish those. washington state did a nice job. >> barry: thompson missed the first free throw. a rare miss. one out of two. he will come in early in the second half. he's been getting more minutes as he comes off a good game against stanford. >> don: washington state looks

like they'll pick up full and try and speed this game up a little bit. we were talking about in the first half how if washington state can get out in transition, this is the way to do it. get some steals, try and get numbers going the other way. >> barry: xavier thames in the game once again. the basket over moore. high bank, won't go. here's thompson. three on three. and thompson will back it out, try to work on gutierrez. now moore guarded by the bigger robertson. moore double clutch off the window. won't go. thompson offensive rebound. the right hand, big-time play by klay thompson. >> don: that's what i was going to say, barry. big-time play on the road. team's trying to come back on

you. got a missed shot, elevate over that left shoulder, knock it down. he got 26. >> barry: theo robertson. leaves it nicely for boykin. >> don: boykin off to a good start in the second half. he can do that. known primarily as the junkyard dog rebounding and put back. but steps out to that short corner and knocks it down. >> barry: he shot the ball very well. six early in the second half. a turnover. here come the bears. they have three-on-one. it's robertson. >> don: that time a good delivery by randle, robertson. didn't force it. took his time and put it on the number. robertson for the dunk. >> barry: the bears back within four. this is thames guarded by randle. >> don: crowd coming alive. >> barry: now castro.

and randle almost picked him. they're going to say he did. it's going to go out of bounds off of casto, i believe. they call it washington state ball. ♪(whi tun n't be h♪

>> barry: the bears, 7 of 11 from the field. klay thompson continuing to play brilliantly.

he has 26 points. he talked to us about what his new coach, ken bone, said to do in the offensive end. >> coach bone just told me they just wanted me to be aggressive on the offensive end and pump my shot as well as just try to be as universal as i can, whether that's putting the ball on the floor, creating for my teammates or being able to spot up and shoot. >> barry: and klay thompson is doing just that. he has 26, including this. that was a tough shot. >> don: that's what is different this year about klay thompson. he's manufacturing points. where as last year he relied on guards to get it to him. he can get his own with the dribble and in other ways, in transition and on the offensive boards. >> barry: a trap that time by the bears. thompson comes away with it after all of that. up top for moore and three. his first basket and a big one. >> don: big shot by reggie moore. hasn't been involved much. was in foul trouble. but a big shot to stop the

bleeding for washington state. every time cal makes a run they come up with a play to stop it. >> barry: that was not only moore's first basket, that was the first shot he's taken in this game. randle. he was taking those earlier. gutierrez with the three. couldn't measure it. casto, the rebound. >> don: they can live with gutierrez shooting threes out there. they're worried more about some of the other guys out on the perimeter. >> barry: thames guarded by robertson. moore, gutierrez on him. klay thompson, the three, not quite. casto's there. he couldn't get it. robertson clears. >> don: a couple good looks for washington state there. klay thompson came off clean and casto with a good look and a putback. >> barry: christopher got another one. he's on fire here in the second

half. >> don: thames not big enough to guard christopher. he just went right back over the top of him, right shoulder. somewhat of a difficult shot. but if you've got no resistance up top at your release point, you can knock it down. >> barry: christopher with eight in the second half. he has 14 in the game. thompson on the move off the window. >> don: that's what sets him apart this year. that wasn't an easy shot. he made it look easy but eluding defenders, sliding it through, having the touch to put it off the backboard, tough play but good play by klay thompson. >> barry: here's randle. it's long. three, got another. >> don: these guys are unbelievable, barry. if they have an inch of space they're letting it fly and they're going down. i don't think i've seen a college basketball game where they've been so consistent from behind the line, everybody. >> barry: 15 in the game. and another -- >> don: look at the effort. >> barry: boykin, great effort. gets it to christopher,

two-on-one. gutierrez couldn't control it. >> don: you love the effort of cal and jamal boykin has come out with a ton of it here in the second half. you have to convert those. you're down double digits at halftime be, you're trying to come back. every possession matters. you got an extra one but then you throw it away trying to score going the other way. >> barry: bears did not like that call. gutierrez not at all happy. he's barking at the officials. they get boykin on the foul. and mike montgomery is still barking at t [ fennou traese out ou g not ou g likerici dget at eat. o styour.. d yogspa od wu'rey...

1 in erls eges tn ths ofm tism.org >> barry: the bears trail by 11 at the half. they now trail by four. 11:58. a world of time remaining in this ball game. the bears getting it done in the second half. >> don: they've gotten washington state to turn it over four times in the second half. they're forcing the issue offensively, not settling for jumpers. patrick christopher with 14 points. he only had 6 in the first half. they're 15-0 when they shoot 46% or better.

they're now up over that 46% after being under it for the first half. let's see now if they can win the game. >> barry: they trail by four. but they have chopped seven off the lead. possession here for washington state coming out of the time-out. this is moore. moore, the crossover, got in the lane, tried to leave it for thompson. it will be knocked out of bounds, off of thompson. >> don: a mistake by reggie moore, getting in the air to pass that time, trying to get it to klay thompson. you know somebody's going to be close to him. christopher got a hand on it, went off klay thompson. good defense by cal. a mistake by reggie moore. >> barry: a discussion once again amongst the officia sef,in ct, it went off of klay thompson. let's take a look at our academic superstars.

abe lodwick, 3.26 gpa in communications. nikola knezevic, 3.03 gpa in interdisciplinary studies. >> don: we should ask him what that is, interdisciplinary studies. >> barry: i know he's a smart guy. >> don: yes, is he a smart guy. >> barry: that's harper kamp next to knezevic. >> don: that was one of the first things we talked about yesterday. i asked about him. he said he would hands down be their best post player, post scorer and just his presence on the floor, they really miss him. he thought if harper kamp was

playing this year that they'd really be good. >> barry: so the bears now down four with the ball. boykin up top brings casto with him. now randle comes to take the ball. christopher behind the screen by boykin. to the basket. blocked by casto. they will say goaltending. >> don: christopher is really looking to be aggression knife

night. there's 10:12 in this game. >> don: look at that, out of nowhere to get a piece of that. but you have guys running in

transition for cal. it's hard to stay with all of them. >> barry: cal on an 8-0 run over the last minute and 50 seconds. randle, a pair of threes. christopher contributing. the bears now with a one-point lead. moore will lead, at least for the moment. capers, tried to leave it. there's gutierrez. randle, behind the back. he went down hard. went down right on the small of his back. >> barry: tough one, guys getting in the air. this is an intense game. guys playing really hard. nothing dirty about this. he gives it up. once you're in the air, anything can happen. it's dangerous. but we know this, gutierrez, the toughest guy on cal's ros no 's

that. good deliver but once you get up in the air, again, capers nothing dirty about that but not going to give up the two points. >> don: and gutierrez went down hard. looks like he landed on his hip. 'pears to be just fine. >> don: those are the ones that hurt tomorrow morning. >> barry: yes. >> don: when you get out of bed. cal's ability to get stopped and washington state, having no answer has allowed cal to now get a two-point lead after being down 11, ten minutes ago. >> barry: gutierrez is everything you talked about at the very beginning of this program. he's tough. he's always there. you look up, he's there. >> don: and getting a lot of opportunities offensively today, too. ten field goal attempts. and he has eight points. four steals in this game. so gutierrez affecting this

game. that's what he does. 'effe he affects the game. >> barry: casto, a nice pass over boykin. important hoop for washington state there. >> marques: you have to keep touch with them. you can't allow this run to continue for cal as jerome randle walks it up. >> barry: i have an idea this is one of those games that will come right down to the end. christopher drives. casto is there again. and this time, christopher went down hard. >> don: again, christopher, aggressive in the second half. looking to get to the rim.

>> barry: 7:34 remaining to be played. join us tomorrow night, 10:00 eastern, 7:00 pacific, more pac-10 hoops. usc and ucla. the bruigalen center tomorrow n, 10:00 eastern, 7:00 pacific. casto has been everywhere in this ball game, blocking shots, making baskets. been very much a factor in this game for washington state. >> don: i mean, going after every shot. randle, not sure what he's thinking. he can get that over casto.

you just like the effort. you like your bigs to go after shots. when you can step in some. i like the bigs that challenge every shot. what does that do? it makes the offensive guys think twice the next time about going in there. pretty good numbers for casto, 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 blocked shots. >> barry: i'll say. theo robertson goes to the line to try to put the bears ahead. >> don: there's been four lead changes in the last 4:30 after the cougars have led for 25 minutes. >> barry: they go for two. >> don: robertson, a pretty good free-throw shooter. 80% on the season. the first one he missed badly. >> barry: the cougs with the ball and the lead. koprivica, great look. couldn't get it, though.

christopher for the rebound. >> don: a little flat that time for koprivica. good look at it, though. >> barry: randle now they drop it down for sanders-frison. and with the left hand, he scored. >> don: he outpowered him, that's exactly right. if you get that deep, you're probably going to score. >> barry: koprivica over to the basket. rejected by sanders-frison. ahead to christopher, christopher, one-on-two. couldn't get it to go. and a travel on christopher. >> don: i think did he. good call by him. he stepped through without the dribble. no argument from christopher. whenever a player doesn't argue, you probably figure it's the right call. good outlet by randle. yeah, that second foot down there was a travel.

good cap by weiss. >> barry: klay thompson back for washington state and a turnover. sanders-frison reached in, got a hand on the ball. >> don: certainly hasn't been reggie moore's best today. >> barry: again, a block by keepers. that's the second time that i can remember him blocking a three-point attempt by jerome randle. >> don: long arms, capers with better size and longer arms than randle. he's gotten to a couple of them. >> barry: here's moore. moore drives all the way, over gutierrez. and a blocked foul on gutierrez. >> don: let's take a look at it, reggie moore being aggressive, takes that baseline and gutierrez steps over. tough call. we know the emphasis this year, like the nba, if you're underneath the rim, then they're going to give you a block. you wonder if that was the call. it looked like gutierrez was in pretty good position.

>> barry: they have that rule here. in the nba they have a painted circle. >> don: yes. >> barry: they don't have it here. i'm not quite sure why. i'm sure that was the call. moore makes both free throws and gives his team the lead again. moore in the second half with eight points. he didn't take a shot in the first half. spent ten minutes in the first half on the bench with two fouls. >> don: washington state's going to grind this game out. reggie moore will probably have to make some plays and score some more. >> barry: robertson lost it. klay thompson gets it for the cougs. he loses it to christopher. christopher can't get it. it comes down in the hands of capers. here comes washington state. 1 on 4, capers out of control that time. >> don: yes. i was thinking the whole time, barry, he was taking that down there, i bet you ken bone would want him to pull that back and run offense. you're get deep into this game. it's a one-point game. give yourself a chance. he didn't have numbers. he was going one-on-three that

time. >> barry: ninth turnover of the second half for the cougars. and capers remains on randle. he's done a great job on him. and a foul away from the ball on capers. fourth personal foul on capers. and that's huge. >> don: you've been pretty good on randle in stretches. i mean, randle's gotten his, got 18 today. but capers has bothered him a litt it, i think. you're right. i think they need to finish the game with capers. >> barry: they have to take it to capers right now. he's on the floor with four fouls. they haven't been able to substitute him. capers got underneath him. >> don: stepped through, showed him the ball. given up inches but stepped through for the layup. good play by gutierrez. >> barry: the bears back in front. gutierrez with 11. reggie moore, the floater, too hard. thompson keeps it alive.

robertson gets it for the bears. knocked away by moore but a reach-in. they will get watson on the foul, not moore. >> don: let's take a look at gutierrez. throws it in. and then quickly cross screen and spin, step-through bucket. how about the poise on the other end of reggie moore, though? gets an offensive rebound. recognizes he's in traffic. kicks out to thompson. had a really good look at it. just couldn't knock it down. >> barry: moore's coming up big in the second half. christopher off the screen. thompson on him. now randle behind the christopher screen. cougs playing through the screens pretty well. this is off the right side. a rebound out to rand who will knocked watson right off the ball. we'll get a time-out to deal with watson. they are going to get a call. >> don: an ill-advised shot by

stopher. he's m ones in the second half. this is a deep contested three. washington goes up and gets it and randle rips it away. washington state now in the bonus. >> barry: watson will go to the free-throw line. and he did -- >> don: bore both teams, barry, coming down the home stretch, you wonder where they're going. you've got to believe that thompson and randle have got to be the guys. you also know the other coaches are saying we're not letting randle and thompson beat us. >> barry: the bears with the ball and a one-point lead. gutierrez with moore on him, takes it all the way, fenger roll, no. and a foul underneath. thursday you don't want to miss another pac-10 men's basketball doubleheader, first ucla tries to stay in the pac-10 race in a big game against washington state. and then cal in a battle atop

the conference race. oregon state looking for the upset in corvallis. the action tips off at 8:30 eastern, 5:30 pacific, that's next thursday. gutierrez at the line. the bears lead by two. >> don: you don't want to get into a free-throw shooting contest with cal. they're shooting 75% as a team on the season. which leads the league. they don't lead the league interestingly enough in conference games. arizona leads. >> barry: 4:16. now every possession. >> don: you get the feeling washington state's got to answer now. >> barry: this equals the biggest lead of the day. forced the shot. koprivica there for a putback. big-time play by koprivica. >> don: i like the aggressiveness of moore, though. one of the better players on the floor.

he's proven he can take cal's defenders off the dribble and then, yes, just get it up there on the rim and hopefully koprivica or casto, whoever's in the game can go get you the stick back. you see more contested by boykin and koprivica. that's what happens. you throw him over there to contest and that leaves the board wide open. >> barry: cal leads it by a point. they'll have the ball, 4:02 remaining to be played in the ball game. four points, the biggest lead the bears have had in this game. klay thompson, 28 points. 23 came bang-bang in the first half. >> don: he had to figure he wasn't going to get as loose. mike montgomery, too good of a strategist. the guy's got pride. they don't want to see a guy come in their building and light them up for 40. the team as a whole, cal, defensively, has been better in the second half.

they've been more up and into it. they've limited klay thompson. on the flip side, klay thompson has to be involved here in the last four minutes if you're washington state. >> barry: the bears to inbound. full court pressure. it's kind of token pressure by the cougars. and randle will bring it across. inside of four minutes remaining in the game. gutierrez. started by koprivica. now christopher, robertson tried to go across to boykin. a good job to step in front once again by koprivica. we'll take a time-out.

>> barry: 3:4 remaining in the ball game. the bears have the ball and the lead but only by a point. barry tompkins, don maclean. every possession becomes the possession of the game at this point. >> don: i wonder a few minutes ago where each player will go. all afternoon at least in the second half they've take an way both of those guys, randle and klay thompson. reggie moore has been more aggressive for washington state. it will be interesting to me. when you get in these

situations, where do you go with the ball? and in these situations, players step up. sometimes it's guys you don't think it's going to be. >> barry: the big inbounds play for the bears. they get it in to robertson. now randle up top. they reset the offense. ten on the shot clock, they have to be aware of that. eight on the shot clock. randle trying to get around him. he came down with a huge rebound. >> don: pretty good look. when you're playing jerome randle for the three, you're right, reggie moore rips down that rebound. >> barry: randle has not made a two-point shot in the game. he's 6 of 9 from three-point range. koprivica, the runner, won't go. casto kept it alive nicely. he'll get whistled for being over the top. >> don: pretty good play by koprivica to put it down. they're playing him for the three also. and have. you got a little bit of

take a look and see what ken bone was so hot about. he thought that was aul on boykin. probably had a legitimate argument. it did cost him a "t." now gutierrez will go to the line. >> don: a seven-point game. how quickly it turns.

that's why home teams have the advantage. this crowd affected washington state. they got fed up a little bit. give cal's defense some credit for creating some of that. once you get the crowd going and the game gets a little bit frantic, it can get away from you. >> barry: now there will be a sense of urgency. cal on a 7-0 run has given them their biggest lead of the game. they lead by eight. baseline, gives it up in the corner this time. it's going to be out of bounds to washington state. thursday night, ahead by 18 with ten minutes to go in the game. >> don: you knew cal was going to make a run at them. we both talked about it at halftime. there's no way washington state is going away. they got them pretty good in the last few minutes. >> barry: a battle for the rebound, robertson yanks it away from casto.

>> don: there will nobody reason to foul yet if you're washington state. you have to get a couple stops here. cal, too good of a free-throw shooting team to start that process now with two minutes to go. >> barry: the bears will try to take a little of the clock here if they can. randle, going to back it out here with ten on the shot clock. he has thames on him. comes behind the screen. almost lost it. robertson, three on the shot clock, got to get a shot up. gutierrez, won't go. boykin, another huge play by jamal boykin. now they've got to foul. >> don: you're fouling the wrong guy if you're klay thompson. randle, an 87 percenter on the season. >> barry: he has another double-double. 16 points and 11 rebounds coming

off a 22-10 night on thursday. >> don: cal's a veteran team. they have guys, even if other guys don't have it going or are at their best. boykin had a big second half. that's what veteran teams do. they're unselfish. i talked to jamal the other day at practice. i said it seems like you're playing more together. guys have to recognize when it's their time. i think they're doing a nice job of that. >> barry: that's exactly right. hi that same conversation with theo robertson. he said everybody on his team right now knows their role. they're all playing it here in the second half. let's take a look at our oberto beef jerky player of the game. there he is right there, randle. he's effective from the outside. he has 22 on the night. his a lot of help from his friends. >> don: he has. the game's opened up for cal in the second half. it's been easier
