Choke!

I think the announcers said it was the biggest comeback in Sweet Sixteen history.

But the kiss of death was showing that graphic of how Cal was 35-0 in NCAA tournament games with a 6+ point halftime lead.

35-1 now.
Give that dude in the studio a raise who mentioned that at halftime and everyone said it was the announcer's jinx.
 
Let's not get too carried away with celebrating Cal's lost less we jinx ourselves/endure some basketball Karma.
Cal lost. Let's just be satisfied with that.
No need to gloat and talk sh!t we have a game of our own coming up tmmrw.
Never a bad idea to be humble.
I kinda feel that way but I’m superstitious and in reality what we say has no bearing on the game.

Considering the talent Cal took with him with the additional talent he added to that roster.... He should have made a Final Four this year.
Pope's playing with house money with his situation. No pressure whatsoever from the majority of UK fans.
Cal showed exactly why he got pushed out. Gloating is in order imo.
 
I fell asleep but woke up randomly and turned on my phone to see 72 to 66 with a minute to play. Then dude hit a 3, Arkansas had a ft go in and out, they hit another 3 and then a bad Arkansas shot at end of regulation.

Apparently a jump ball led to the first 3. Was like a comedy of errors and sometimes I feel the sports gods do turn on a dime in who is being supported.

All the above aside, cals failure to call timeouts was once again pathetic. He hasn't changed a bit and glad Arkansas is out.

Hummmmm. Taking pleasure in the loss of a rival can affect the outcome of an unrelated game.
When I finish polishing my lucky horseshoe, I going to get my 4 leaf clover and look for a penny on the sidewalk.

Seriously though, as long as our team is focused and healthy, I'll trust in them. Should we lose, I'm prepared to take the smack that our rivels are itching to sling our way.
 
Did not stay up to watch the game.
I'm guessing Cal went into prevent stall ball down the stretch and refused to call a critical timeout in the waning minutes/ seconds? I think I watched this movie one too many times.

Up 13 with 4 minutes and change, Up 7 with 1:11, up 3 with 10 seconds and can’t get a stop. It always happens.
How did Cal lose NC at Memphis? Free throws. Last night up 3 at the line, hit free throw and win. UK versus Wisconsin he gives the game away with bad decisions. For a HOF Coach he cannot manage a lead.

I don’t understand for the life of me why he doesn’t change his end of game strategy. It has bitten him in the ass in so many huge games and he refuses to do anything different. Like don’t burn this tape. Go home and watch it. Figure out why you blew it. We have been telling you why for a decade at least, almost 2 going back to Memphis.

Yeah. Stall ball ruined the Wisconsin game. Telling the team to use almost whole shot clock was dumb up 4 with 4 mins to play.

We were up 5 against unc and the refs with like 4 to play n 2017 too. Then they ended up 7 and then Monk almost carried us back but then that eye liner girl hit that shot.

Makes me continue to be amazed that we beat KU in the 2012 title game. Cal nearly gave that one away too.
