I guess the SEC is a double edged sword this year. A lot more chances for quality wins than usual but that could also mean more losses. This team may not get it together and take too many losses, who knows. My argument was just that every freshman PG since Cal got here has looked lost at this point in the year and except for Harrow (who oddly wasn't a freshman) figured out what Cal wanted from them in time. Green/SGA may not be Wall/Bledsoe but they aren't Harrow/Polson either. I believe when they figure it out the offense will be serviceable on a bad night to unbeatable when the 3s are falling. Assuming as a team they buy into using their length to rebound and erase shots at the rim on a nightly basis.

Cal has a winning percentage of over 82% here while playing one of the toughest non-conference schedules year after year and dealing with the "everybody's superbowl" crap UK deals with on the road in the SEC. He's also taken out the 1 seed on the way to the final four as both an 8 and 4 seed.
Some people can't be pleased.
It's not really "not caring". I mean these games will decide our seed which in turn decides our path in the NCAA tournament. So these games are definitely meaningful.
The thing is I think most come to the realization that when you have constant turnover like we do, it's going to take time to come together. I don't think anyone watched last night thinking "oh this doesn't matter" but I do think most watched it thinking where we are in November is going to be alot different than where we are in March.
This team is deeper than that team plus that team lost Noel at a time when they started to gel
Shooting is obviously going to be a weak point. Defensively come March they have the length and athleticism to be the best team in the country. If they find a way to take the ball to the rim 80% of the time and play great d and rebound I like their chances to do well. It's way to early to write this team off. I will feel a lot better when Vando and Baker are @100%.
Checked maybe a week ago, Svi and Graham are both in there. But I agree, doubt they amount to anything in the NBA. Both of their stocks have fallen if I'm not mistaken, and will continue to fall as that team is really nothing great. They are not Frank Mason, and he's not Fox, Wall, Knight, Bledsoe, etc.
Our defense made more strides in three days than we did in three months last season. I trust that they can do the same on offense.
Well when the Cats play your team on December 29th and are setting at 10-1
or at worst 9-2 you will have a different opinion. Now take your ass back to that
dumpster fire of a basketball program.

You had to go rooting around 5 year old threads to know this? I’m pretty sure everyone already knew. But interesting read through that. Also missing some posters here lately….
