I keep hearing Matt Jones say Cal is the best with top talent. Is it just me or did most of Kentuckys success under Cal coe from last second shots and eeked out wins by superior talented teams?
Cal has constantly underachieved with top talent teams
2010- Elite 8 -Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, and a host of other NBA players Elite 8 loss to an Average UWV team
2011- Final 4-A Brandon Knight miracle shot to beat Ohio St and then loss to Uconn
2012- National Championship (the one year it didnt take a miracle shot to advance to the final four) with a once in a lifetime player and NBA talent all around.
2013- NIT
2014-FInal 4 with Miracle shot after miracle shot to get there. Again, a loaded team
2015- Final 4 loss to Wisconsin with the most loaded team in NCAA history, Dont forget barely beating Notre Dame to advance.
2016-19- Super talented teams with NBA rosters that couldnt advance to the final four
20-23- No tourny wins.
With the talent disparity Cal had he should had rolled through the tourny. But he just barely, luckily eeked a bunch of games out.
We keep bragging about over 50 NBA players, 8 All stars and the resume above is what Cal has to show for it? To me its more of an indictment than a bragging point.
