Me neither. And that’s the saddest part of all of this. Zero confidence in the coach, AD and staff going forward. It really feels like we can only expect more losing as long as they are the ones running the show.
Is anyone really surprised?

That’s exactly what I told my buddy last night, who is a Cal homer btw. I said “the worst part is, I’m not surprised at all”
it was apparent from the start of the game that we were going to lose imo.

My UK fanatic son and I both laughed maniacally during the last 5 mins of the game…why? Because we know this HAS to be Cal’s swan-song. So needless to say we’re good with this. If losing the 1st round, losing Reed/Rob/etc but getting a new coach is the outcome; then sign me up.
I’ve been predicting a first weekend loss since we lost to UNCW. I thought we’d at least win the first game. But Cal has a way of exceeding expectations in the worst ways.
Last night after the game a friend who used to work in Rupp along with her husband as ushers texted me and said "Wow can you believe it?" I responded I am not surprised a all, even though UK came out in second half focused on stopping Gothlic and with the intent of going inside, their confidence had done eroded and shots they would normally make clanged off the rim, they were playing not to lose instead of playing to win, they were rocked back on their heels from the get go, the first five minutes set the tone for the game and as the announcers said the further along this thing goes the more confident Oakland will be and the less confident UK will be.
