Let's get some waaaay-too-early-to-tell speculation going.

For (completely irrelevant) reference:

Yeah the voting categories as presented are wack. Is this Brad?

 

[NociHTTP]

100 - percentage they lose.

 

[know1]

More than Cal's average the last 5 years easily.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Cal tier the last four years: 20 wins per season. 80 wins total. Two total tournament wins, counting SEC tourney.

So if Pope tops that, he'll already be doing better than Calipari did the last four years on average.

I think Pope probably matches, exceeds or comes close to matching Cal's best season since 2019, which was only 26 games (2022).

Let's all remember that Cal enormously sucked it up for the last half-decade here. That should be the first point in any thread where we compare Pope to Cal.
