I would be interested in seeing the foul or don't foul stats for the NBA with timeouts allowing teams to advance the ball to half court and other factors. My guess is foul with 4 seconds or less up by 3, versus 8 seconds in college.
Not enough talent. I think with better talent at UK, he will deliver.
And the bar set by Cal over the past 6 years is not that difficult to exceed.
For what it's worth, Pope won 68% of his regular season games and was 7-8 in post season games at BYU.
And that is why Pope will beat those numbers. Five stud freshmen will not win postseason games in this NIL/transfer portal era. Multiple teams are building experienced all star rosters today. Cal wasn't. He was still relying too much on freshmen.
