1. 4/5 of our losses have been to top 15 teams (as of today)
2. We won the SEC. bad conference or not, we won.
3. We don't rely on one player. Everyone knows us for monk, but we've won multiple games with him struggling, and today was his worst performance by far and we won by 9.
4. We shoot decently, but we don't rely on 3's. When we are stroking 3's, no one can beat us. But we've also won several games where we missed a ton of 3's and bam/fox/briscoe take over inside.
5. We don't blow leads. With all the talk about how we blow leads, not ONE TIME have we had a 10 point lead in the second half and lost the game. Not once.
6. We can come back from large deficits. 3 games in a row now we start off terribly and won the game going away. We don't WANT to do that but it's a great skill to have in the tourney. We know this team will not panic if a team gets up 10-15 on them. Those of us that were around in 1998 should know that's a very nice skill to have in march.
7. Cal has taken two teams worse than this one to the final four. We have more talent, more experience, and have performed better during the regular season than both the 2011 and 2014 team. How about we trust that cal knows what he's doing?
BE POSITIVE. WE JUST WON THE SEC AND WE WILL BE A 2 SEED. GO CATS!
