We will never know how that team would have performed but the team finished 8th in the AP, won the SEC, and went 17 and 3 down the stretch. Your statement that this team "was no better than any of the last 5 yrs of March nothing teams" is completely lacking in basic knowledge considering that team followed an E8 team and then UK did have 4 years of March nothing teams afterward.Still amazing to me many fans swear that 19-20 team was gonna go far. Was no better than any of the last 5 yrs of March nothing teams.

Posters keep repeating the 5 year number despite the fact that it is completely wrong. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good bash. Why say Cal failed in the post season miserably 4 straight years when you can throw in number 5 since the tournament was cancelled and nobody played in the post season?
I give them credit in 2020 winning the SEC. That team didn’t really play all that great, but they did a good job of closing the deal, especially from the foul line.
They also were going through a lot of turmoil, with the Ashton Hagans shenanigans down the stretch.
No way to know how they might have finished. I don’t think they were any better than the 2022 or 2024 teams. Maybe not quite as good.
If you consider the issues with Hagans, lumping that team in with 2021-2024 seems fair. But you’re right, they could have still made a run, and we’ll never know.
Regardless, that team had Maxey and Quickley in the backcourt along with Nick Richard, Montgomery, and Nate Sestina. They won the SEC reg season outright.UK was so primed ready to win it all with their comeback, need-a-miracle win against a mediocre Florida team, and UK playing without a temperamental point guard, with a roster that was barely worthy of a 3 seed.
We had that title in the bag. Just ask Calipari.
The same Calipari that had Booker/Town/Twins; Wall/Bledsoe/Cousins; Fox/Monk/Bam; SGA/Knox/PJ?Regardless, that team had Maxey and Quickley in the backcourt along with Nick Richard, Montgomery, and Nate Sestina. They won the SEC reg season outright.
Cal can be delusional but that team was a tough out.
