I mean, OTHER than identical records at this point? That team won it's next 11 and finished 29-9. That team had a defensive stopper in Liggins and a sturdy inside presence in Jorts.

We have the talent to make a run if the effort is there, which it's often not. This is the type of team to fall asleep midway through the second half to a 12 seed and lose. We also have the talent if the coach plays the right lineups, which so far he has shown incapable of doing for the vast majority of the season.Unc fan here. I posted here after you guys beat us, and let me say, you guys definitely have the talent to make a run. Would not surprise me one bit if you guys made a deep run. Tons of talent. Thanks for y’all’s time and have a good week.
Yea up to 77 in defensive efficiency. We get that down another 20-30 spots with our top 10 offense and who knows. Still don't see us winning 6 in a row regardless but we have the ability to beat anyone on any given day. Unfortunately we also have the ability to lose to anyone as well.Who knows really. Every time this team looks like it figured things out they lay another egg.
They've lost five games by five points or fewer and our Kenpom luck ranking is 308th in the country. I guess if you squint you can make the argument if luck went the other way we could easily be 21-5 or 22-4 or something like that and maybe things fall our way in the tournament. Not holding out much hope though.
The defense has been objectively better the last three games though. Maybe if Cal actually sticks to the lineups that work they can carry this team far in the tournament.
I would take a team full of Liggins-type players every single time. Give me Liggins, MKG and Oscar and at least I know I'll get effort. We might win 62-59, but toughness wins ball games.I mean, OTHER than identical records at this point? That team won it's next 11 and finished 29-9.

That team basically only lost a bunch of very close conference road games. They held serve at home and the only neutral games they lost were both to UConn.I mean, OTHER than identical records at this point? That team won it's next 11 and finished 29-9.

They're not all on the road, but this team also has lost a lot of close games. Five losses by five points or fewer.That team basically only lost a bunch of very close conference road games.
I loved the 2014 run, but I almost think it was a terrible thing to happen for Cal. I feel that kind of made him not care too much about seeding, and thinking he could always waltz into March.This team reminds me of 2014. Championship expectations going into the season, disappointing results, still losing to bad teams in late February but you can see the talent and potential is there. 2014 didn't figure it out until the SEC tournament then went on one of the most unbelievable runs I've ever witnessed
Because we have Rip VanWe have the talent to make a run if the effort is there, which it's often not. This is the type of team to fall asleep midway through the second half to a 12 seed and lose.

I remember that Florida won the SEC by three games; however:That team basically only lost a bunch of very close conference road games. They held serve at home and the only neutral games they lost were both to UConn.
I’d say the only similarity is their ability to shoot the three. Liggins and Miller were better defenders than anyone on this team.
I’d put the Reeves we’ve seen in recent weeks up against Lamb. And this is coming from the President of the “Doron Lamb is the most underrated UK basketball player of all time” ClubThat team also had Doron Lamb. The best SG we've had at UK this century.
Century? You must be too young to remember Tony DelkThat team also had Doron Lamb. The best SG we've had at UK this century.
No. Our teams that made deep runs did not lose multiple games at home. That is the difference. Don't think the 2014 team did that either.That 2011 team was really good. They were young but extremely talented. Just needed time to really mesh and develop. They lost so many close road games. Don’t think they lost at Rupp. They shoulda beat UNC in Chapel Hill. When the bracket came out I said they will beat OSU and UNc and make the final four.
Not a deep team but Knight and Lamb were a great young backcourt. Miller was coming into his own. And Jones and Liggins and Harrellaon provided so much more toughness and inside presence than this team has.
Delk graduated in 1996... that was the previous century.Century? You must be too young to remember Tony Delk
Nope, Cal actually cares back then. He’s not even a shell of himself now.I mean, OTHER than identical records at this point? That team won it's next 11 and finished 29-9. That team had a defensive stopper in Liggins and a sturdy inside presence in Jorts.
I thought you meant century of time, which ofcourse is 100 yearsDelk graduated in 1996... that was the previous century.
Yes. Closer to ‘14 than ‘11.This team reminds me of 2014. Championship expectations going into the season, disappointing results, still losing to bad teams in late February but you can see the talent and potential is there. 2014 didn't figure it out until the SEC tournament then went on one of the most unbelievable runs I've ever witnessed
