We don't have one of those guys that puts us over the top at this time either.I was a little surprised at how decent Gonzaga was this year, with a team that seemingly took a step or two back from recent years (or maybe, that's where I was wrong).
Still, while they get back a ton of guys, they aren't guys that I think will bring them over the top, and they still won't have one of those NBA prospects that creates such a disadvantage in the WCC.. like a Chet, or Suggs.
I like our chances much better with Pope and this group than I did with Cal.. who when we last played, it almost seemed like Cal was fine to lose the game. Although this time, it's @ Gonzaga.. and that won't be easy.

I agree. Pope is due against Gonzaga. I believe he is 1-9 against them. He'll be highly-motivated.Maybe not, but I like our coaching better, and we seem to have gotten a bunch of guys who were the best, or near it, on their team. I think our roster will look better than Gonzaga's on paper.
Wanted him at UK.They just got Battle from Arkansas so expect him to shoot 25 free throws wherever the games at.
We should have easily won last year but for some reason Cal or the players couldn’t figure out how to stop one play. We scored like 13/15 trips and never once gained the lead.I was a little surprised at how decent Gonzaga was this year, with a team that seemingly took a step or two back from recent years (or maybe, that's where I was wrong).
