So the net really likes Cal so far this season.

And as I mentioned, because we're going on the road, it is a quad one game.

Barely, but it's still a quad one game as it will show up in that metric, which of course is so over-important.

So it's interesting because, you know, on Ken Palm, they have two different types of metrics this time of year.

Now that we're in the conference, the metrics that you kind of discussed were a lot of the over overall rankings.

And then they also have the conference rankings and some of those.

The reason why they've had a couple of bad games is because they've been very skewed.

You mentioned that they're pretty decent at shooting threes.

They've been terrible at shooting threes lately.

You mentioned the offensive rebounding rate, how bad it was.

It's even worse in conference play.

So there's certain things about that.

And it's funny, it leads me to the sound that I mentioned at the top by Mark Madsen.

Again, all the coaches, with the exception of the coaches who are playing on Mondays,

participate in this 10-minute session each where everyone gets a rapid fire of questions from national media.

And I was able to ask Mark Madsen a question about what he saw last week in the two losses against Virginia, Virginia Tech, and what he wanted to improve as he goes into a week that features not just Duke on Wednesday, but

but also UNC on Saturday.

Both Cal and Stanford basically are having the big week where both the two biggest draws in the ACC are coming to town.

I wanted to know what he thought about what they needed to do to improve on that.

Here's what he had to say.
