Mercer was every bit as good as Anderson. Also, DA was not better than Duncan that year. Sorry. No idea why Kriisa is being brought up.
Didn’t you mention something about how long Kerr has been out? DA was out 2 months. Comparing DA and Duncan is absurd. Two totally different players. Anyway, DA was the best SG/SF that season. Yes, better than Mercer. DA was much better defensively.
You said best player. That was clearly Duncan. You're right comparing one of the greatest players in college basketball history to Anderson was absurd.
Duncan was one of the best in college history? Lmao give me a break! Dude won NOTHING! Also, Camby DOMINATED him the year before and our 96 team beat the shit out of Wake in that tournament.
You mean after DA tore his ACL. Lulz of course he drafted Mercer in that scenario.
He was a 3 time all American and player of the year. Yes he was one of the best. Take your blue glasses off. It's okay to appreciate good basketball that isn't UK. You're clearly trolling with this post. So I'm out.
Of course you are. DA was the best all around non post player in the country in 97. Duncan never even made a final four. Great individual player, though.
Most likely would have had Casey not been out for the entire 1970 season. That team probably wins the title with him actually. Still didn’t get beat by 30+ in a tourney game.
Sure. If losing your second leading scorer, leading assist man and third best rebounder from the previous year. I reckon so. 🙄
Yes, I know. Discrediting someone for not making a final four is absolutely ridiculous.
Yep.....all those other Wake Forest FFs make Duncan look bad
Did you not see the sarcasm in my post about Issel? Dude bashed Duncan for not making a final four which is a stupid argument that can be made about plenty of great players including the GOAT at UK.
Yes we have an average SEC team in a year when the SEC is loaded but we have an above average coach so we will have a good year this year and some great years later on.
So. In this conference
No, hell we beat Duke, and Gonzaga, Cal would have lost both. I am disappointed at the turnovers today, but I will take this season over the past 5 years of Cal.
Your initial argument was that Pitino blew the final when he was without his best player. A player that would’ve undoubtedly been a first team all American had he not been injured. Not to mention, Edwards was also hurt, but still played against Arizona in the final. I think he played like 6 minutes.
We were still heavily favored going into that game and should have won.
It's pretty simple. Losing in the the Elite 8 means you're 1 game from the FF. Means you won 3 tourney games. One of the 8 teams alive. Viewed as a great season to get that far.
if you don't win the championship it's a failure y should you care if u make the sweet 16 or elite 8?
The winningest college basketball program ever....mostly a failure to you huh?
