Holy shit! Cal: "you've got people complaining all year, what's wrong with this team, listen, this happens every year and we come together at the end. Grab these people by the shoulders and tell them it happens every year. Then they try to jump on the bandwagon at the end and say they were cheering all year long. No you didn't" (paraphrased) Hahahahaha

Caller: Cal's 8th year and we've won 30+ games in 6 of those years....not many 30 win seasons historically...Monk playing and not trying to force anything

--Cal: You are right about Monk

--Monk stretches the court

--On the road in SEC preps us for this

--This bracket we are in is nuts...nuts

That's it! Go Cats! Let's destroy UCLA....my heart can't take another squeaker!
 
Don't want to screw with the lineup but is going to continue to throw Gabriel in it.

Wow... Wooooooooow
 
Not sure if it's the right time to see if we can get Gabriel going. But I hope he can contribute more than he is.
 
Thanks very much for continuing to give these summaries. Just now got home and went to read your thread first thing. I sure do appreciate it.

Matt Jones said the 6 season thing too and it is wrong. This is cals 4th 30 win uk team. Yes two had 29 but 30+ has to mean 30+ here.

No problem ORCAT!
I also noticed our guys were ho-hum about the victory. Not much emotion kinda like they weren't excited. What's the reason for that?
I think Cal just kind of said at UK we expect to win round of 32 games...and we get here so often that it's not really a big deal to our guys until we get to the FF and beyond

I understand that but we made a huge defensive play to win the game. I guess I just expected more of a celebration. Instead we kinda walked slowly toward the bench.
 
They left it all on the court, they were tired, and they were disappointed that is was that close. Those are some likely reasons they were so subdued....and the class thing. Like you said, they act like it's business as usual.
