I think you nailed it but I’ll go on and say Cal sucks at Xs & Os. Bash away but he recruits like a mad man but I cannot stand his game plans. We looked a a team of 5 year olds playing soccer. All bunched up and not having a clue what was going on. Blame youth. Blame the refs. The fact is Cal flat out did a horrific job coaching. Let the bashing begin.The question was how did we lose to K-State.
We lost to a team that was without their best player, are offensively challenged and had 3 of their guys foul out. We had no business losing that game. Throw this in the bucket of games blown in the Cal era.
It nearly makes me puke seeing them play and getting handled by the Retrievers. I have so many bad things to say but I’ll bite my tongue.
Actually we just ran out of timeVery simply, we lost to K. State because they scored more points than the Wild Cats did.
I think we would've beat them as they like to runLoyola beat Florida at Florida. They are not as an easy path as some of us thought.
That's what I figured. I agree with you. I never understood why every time we got a rebound Cal jumped up and held his hand in the air slowing Shai down. We didn't play our game we allowed Kansas State to dictate the style of play. And then we fed the ball to a guy who couldn't make a free-throw to save his life over and over.Playing their style and winning easy as I figure they would. We would have beaten KState as well if we would have played our game instead of the idiotic plan of trying to take everything inside and playing at a snails pace.
@Snackbar1130 what do you say?
As most teams do after they upset us. UAB in 1981 got blown out by IU the next game, Middle Tennessee in 1982 lost to UL by 15, as I recall, UL took LSU out with ease in 1986 after they upset us in the regional finals, Oklahoma beat Villanova by around 20 points after they upset us in 1987, and the list goes on.They shot their wad against UK...
We like to run? Fooled me.I think we would've beat them as they like to run
Cal's game plan fouled out half their team and got us nearly 40 FTA. A coach's job is to exploit matchups and give us the best opportunity to score, it's not on Cal if they miss them. At worst Cal failed to have them relaxed because IMO we did look nervous, but they were all playing in their 1st Sweet 16 and under a lot of pressure.We played like crap,were too cocky and Cal had a terrible game plan.
It makes you wonder how many tournament games we're going to lose because of missed FT's. Arizona in 1996, UCONN in 2014, etc.Cal's game plan fouled out half their team and got us nearly 40 FTA.

Shoulda woulda coulda. The fouls forced us to play a half court game and that's just not our styleWe like to run? Fooled me.

But we literally cost ourselves a title at the line. Here’s to you Nazr.we've won plenty of games on FT'S too, it evens out
@Rupp'sRunt promised to take you to the final four snackbar. He owes you big time for us not going thereI dont know about this one...that team passes very well and can shoot..this is the game plan we shouldve had against KState. Shoulda run em til they puked..also K-State won their title on the last game...
In the tournament? The only two I recall would be Macy against Michigan State in 1978 and against IU in 2015. There's no excuse for one player shooting 8-20 at the line. Has to be some sort of dubious record.we've won plenty of games on FTs too, it evens out

Refs only called 20 some fouls all game so they actually let the teams establish a style of play.I'm on the road traveling can't watch the game. Is Loyola allowing them to dictate the pace of the game? Or are they playing their own style?
That's basically what we've done all year....walk the ball up and set up the offense.Shoulda woulda coulda. The fouls forced us to play a half court game and that's just not our style
Andrew hit fouls shots to beat ND in 15 in elite 8.In the tournament? The only two I recall would be Macy against Michigan State in 1978 and against IU in 2015. There's no excuse for one player shooting 8-20 at the line. Has to be some sort of dubious record.
No actually all year we ran on fast breaks and when we walked it up SGA mostly pounded the ball into the ground and tried to drive. I didn't see very many half court plays called this yearThat's basically what we've done all year....walk the ball up and set up the offense.
This is not your Father's team.
Well...K-State isn't raining 3's. Not the same team & that's exactly what I figured. Figured they'd play their best game against UK & they did.
Calm down OP...its tourney & it happens. You only have to be better on the day you play.
Wut? Are you serious, Clark?No actually all year we ran on fast breaks and when we walked it up SGA mostly pounded the ball into the ground and tried to drive. I didn't see very many half court plays called this year
