Former Buckeye players on 2011 team still regret loss to Kentucky

That was a very good team. Just think, they could have realistically added Evan Turner as well.

Cals best coaching year, that team by the end of the year was a joy to watch - probably my favorite win of the Cal era.

I have to agree on Cals best coaching night as s Cat.. Seems like you can tell those nights CAL is on his game mentally making all the right calls.. The UNC game following that game was probably his next best. It was like him and Liggins had some Dr Xavier from x-men shit going on. He was being telepathic to Liggins whole game..

Yep. Fresh off the SEC Tournament championship where we had just dismantled Florida, were playing as well as anyone in the country, and the selection committee gives us a 4 seed and rewards Florida with a 2. I always wondered how in the hell they justified that.

I personally think it's because the SEC and Big Ten play their tourney title games so close to the selection show that seeds are already locked in which is stupid. Like MSU only being a 4 seed in 2014 and a 2 instead of a 1 in 2016 (even though we lost to mtsu, not the point.)

I had tickets to that regional (I live 75 minutes from Newark) but had to give the OSU tickets up to @JasonS. when the date was announced - it was the night of my son's high school musical. Raced home and it was halftime, and the score was tied. I couldn't believe it. Thought the Bucks would get tight if it was close and they did.

Thank God the Cats won because I got to go to the final and see UK beat UNC for a trip to a Final Four. And JasonS. went with me! The Tarhole fans thought UK had handed them another Final Four...but DeAndre Liggins had other ideas.

(Jason you still owe me some Derby tickets for that!!)

That was one amazing weekend.

That team should have collectively sent BCG a box of pop tarts after that win.
