I doubt UK wins the the reg season SEC champ...maybe SEC tourney champ.
My expectations are still the same. This is still a final four team. The team didn't show up. Same problem as the UNCW game. Cal has to figure out how to get all these players (specifically the freshmen) to bring it every game. That is why, even though it is Cal's choice, it is so hard to find success with freshmen dominated teams.
It's nice to have Mitchell and Reeves, but all the other guys are freshmen. They haven't been through the grind of a season like this before. Doesn't matter how much wisdom the seniors try to impart, they still have to go through it.
The good news is this young team has shown up for all the big games, but too often they just take their foot off the gas, lose focus, lose energy, lose toughness, in the other games...which sucks because those losses effect UKs seeding, making the final four run more challenging.
