The 2011-2012 team won a National Championship playing a non-conference schedule against #12 Kansas, #5 NC, and IU at Bloomington. All those games played before December 11th. Folks that’s not an easy schedule, but it prepared UK for the ultimate prize which is winning on the road in hostile environments. Cal needs to go back to what works. Which means scheduling tougher teams and do more home-and-home series.
