Weird pre-game thoughts:
1. Bruce Pearl is one coach Cal can go head to head regarding sideline in-game strategy imo.
2. Our guards could have a favorable matchup on both ends, especially if our guys are making. I could see them trying to go shot for shot with ours, totally taking them out of the game.
3. I think Cal has embraced the villain/underdog role and may have these guys uniquely motivated for this one. That is one of his HoF traits imo.
4. For all of the flaws in this program right now, this team has multiple guys that know how to play. They’ve been in a “similar” environment before. Maybe they overcome for one night.
5. Not saying, just saying. Know what I’m saying?
