Enjoy your opportunity though.

Enjoy your opportunity though.
Starting top 5 with the returning player of the year and supposedly better incoming players than last year's team (that was a 2 seed) says yes, we should have been playing for a 1 seed this year. Had we played the right players from the start and maybe changed up defenses occasionally, we could have been top 10 still.
Livingston played a huge role in the second half…Cal totally proved me wrong. I apologize!
I have this feeling they are going to be playing out of their minds regardless. I"m sure they want revenge after what we did to them last year at their place
This team has the players to be a top 3 seed / top 10 team and to be back on track with what should be happening, it would take going undefeated the rest of the way in the SEC to get there.
some sunshine pumpers are trying to act like these 3 wins in a row proves Cal is back to being Cal and no....... its going to take a lot more wins in a row to even have that discussion ..
I don't think anyone is forgetting them. It's just that they already happened and there's little that can be done about it.
Just have to look forward to the remaining games, hope we win a huge bulk of them, get a somewhat decent seed and try to make a run in the tournament now.
So 13-5 in the SEC and beating Kansas wouldn't be "on track" to you? Lol. Okay.
How many losses did you think we would have this year before it started? Maybe 6 for the whole year. The op is saying it would take us winning out to get to where we should have been late in the season.
Keep telling yourself that. No one else believes it. But you can live in your world.
We lost 8 last year and were expected to be much better. I have a hard time believing you expected worse after how we looked in the Bahamas.
Oscar was in foul trouble right off the bat today, aTm just got easy layups right in his face, because he couldn’t defend. It was his own fault though.

Yeah definitely that was some of it. He didn't want to pick up any additional fouls.
I feel recently we have been doing a bit better on that side of the ball.
I think a lot of people believe it because they love a KY win no matter who the coach or players are. Now go back to one of your other accounts and agree with yourself.
At the end of the day, whenever we win I am happy and whenever we lose I'm not. The coach seems to get a ton of talk on this board but at the end of the day, that's all that matters to the majority of people. Winning or losing
We won. It is not who starts but who finishes. Sorry if you don't recognize that.
I gree with you like seeing cats win in spite of Cal’s poor coaching

for me, its not about being on track
its about the coach who never has the team on track at the start of the season.
Seriously, how can a man in his position not see or do what thousands of basketball fans were saying was the obvious move in terms of line up ?
Its just inconceivable that he could be that wrong - and couldn't figure it out until the middle of the season after an embarrassing loss and falling out of the top 25 AGAIN.
At this point he's either incompetent, incapable or indifferent to prioritizing winning at Kentucky
That was a quad 2 win today. We need all of the quad 1 and 2 wins we can get we only had 2 going into this game so now we have 3.
