“We are young.”

“We are built for March.”

That use to be our battle cry.

LOL!

But serious!y, I don’t want to see Duke again in March. Two good teams play early and then meet again, that rarely works out for the team that won the first time, especially when the loser is young and talented. Duke is going to get better and better throughout the year.

And I figure that’s what we will see in March. The committee will find a way to put us in the same bracket.

They're next four opponents are (9)Arizona, (1)Kansas, Seattle, and (5)Auburn. We're about to see who Duke is...

That's a gauntlet. I think they can expose Kansas and dethrone them, but that's a ton of physical teams for those youngguns early in the season.

If they lose a few of those, the ACC might not be strong enough for them to recover their seeding.

I needed 14 hours. I got blindsided and was a panicking dumbass for 14 hours, I freely admit.

But even in those 14 hours I was very clear that Pope was still a massive upgrade over Cal.

Was sold on this being the best possible hire by Hour 15.

And ever since the roster was set I’ve been very vocal that “understand the assignment” means “understand the a.” You can check my posts. There is no guarantee, but there is no glass ceiling either. Pope can win the title this year. I didn’t need Duke to teach me that and I was VERY high on us beating Duke in advance, with technical explanations.

Completely reasonable. It was those “I want Cal back” idiots that made me puke.

I was bought in before we had interviewed him.

I was tired and hated the hire at first when news broke that night. Went to bed pissed and sick to my stomach. Oddly enough, as though Pope's philosophy and coaching history had been diffused into my brain via neuralink in my sleep, I woke up happy and even excited that we had Pope. It was the weirdest thing.
