We added two more great tournament wins under Cal this year. Wins I consider something to hang our hats on (the biggies in all caps)...

2010: Wake Forest, Cornell
2011: Princeton, West Virginia, OHIO STATE, UNC
2012: INDIANA, Baylor, LOUISVILLE, KANSAS
2014: Kansas St, WICHITA ST, LOUISVILLE, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN
2015: Cincinnati, WEST VIRGINIA, NOTRE DAME
2017: Wichita St, UCLA

OK, but I never blamed Cal for losing before the Final Four this year, anyway.

That's ALL on Higgins and the NCAA.

And I've never felt that way before.

Even in 2015, another Higgins masterpiece, I do think Cal could've done some better coaching to put us across the line. Not to justify the screwjob...but the game was still there for the taking. Shouldn't have run out the clock every possession down the stretch.

This year, we had to play a near-perfect game to overcome the obstacles. It was unprecedented. We missed some shots, sure, but I don't put this one on Cal.
 
Sorry great tourney wins are for IU and U of L...

This is Kentucky man...

The same Kentucky that didn't have a Final Four from 1999 to 2010? The same Kentucky that had two tournament wins in a four-year span (2006-2009)?

If you can't enjoy the great wins along the way, jump off the bandwagon. We aren't the Yankees. We're a college team.
 
Gotta side with the collective. No one gives two craps about a Which St and Lonzo win.

Can you name five big tournament wins under Tubby after his first season? I'm pretty sure I saw a stat where he didn't beat a team seeded in the top four his last nine years. Cal is 12-4 against such teams here. Are you seriously going to dismiss the Ohio State win because we lost to UConn?
 
I guess the 75 win over undefeated IU doesn't mean much because we lost to UCLA. We're Kentucky, after all.
