Cals 6th 10 plus loss team n 15 seasons. 40% clip. Gold standard.

I don’t agree with that last part necessarily. Most coaches aren’t used to trying to win with freshman. Most coaches needs guys to stay a few years to develop and learn in their system.

But we have underperformed this year imo. 4 losses at home isn’t something that happened even in Cal’s bad seasons until last year. I don’t think our NIT team had 4 home losses.

We’ve lost 4 or more homes games 3 times under Calipari. 2021, 2023, 2024. Gross.

Most freshmen aren’t like Rob Dillingham And Reed Sheppard.
You add veterans Reeves, Thiero, and Mitchell in.

If Cal could halfway coach. Heck if he would just throw a little zone in here and there they would get to the FF.

He doesn’t adapt or adjust.
He hasn’t changed anything offensively, he just lucked into having multiple shooters on the same team and some guys that can repeatedly beat their man one on one.

His offensive sets are crap like every other season.

The biggest underachiever to ever coach college basketball!

Win the SEC Tournament
Lose in the Final Four

What UK has done in the last four years matters most because it demonstrates real trends and trajectories. Cal hasn't had UK at an elite level since the Maxey team.

2 seed in ‘22

2 seed in ‘22

2 seeds are elite by Kentucky standards?

I think not. Good try, though.

Not a try. Just the facts.

You can celebrate or whine. But you can’t change it.

Seems like a good place to pause for bold predictions.

Kentucky can go anywhere from 10-0 to 0-3 over the next four weeks.

10-0 would mean beating Tennessee (1-0), sweeping the SEC Tournament (3-0), winning the NCAA National Championship (6-0).

0-3 would mean losing to Tennessee, losing first round of SEC Tournament, losing first round of NCAA Tournament.

Log predictions here and we'll see if anyone nails it.

I'm going with 7-2. Its a beautiful day. Spring in the air. The team is healthy and lethal when on. Why not be an optimist?

32-8

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

I'm optimistic so I'll go with 6-2.

Beat UT (1-0)
Lose in the finals of SECT (2-1)
Lose in the Elite 8 (3-1)

This looks pretty possible.
