If we include conference tournaments, Pope has performed better. But you are right about the NCAA tournament.

Fixed it for you. Feel free to post in any school's thread.

We are only talking about the past 3-6 years. I agree a tall order to expect anyone to equal what Cal accomplished in his entire tenure at UK.

But it is close to being better than Cal over the past 6 seasons, and that is the question at hand in this discussion.

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.

Excellent performance stats posted by his teams and assuming he is getting better talent at UK.

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.

YES! He will be close on the regular season and definitely better in the postseason.

I give all the credit to the 76ers on that win. The Knicks didn't lose that game. Philly won it by making big plays at the end.

Same thing happened to the 76er's in one of the earlier games in the series that they lost.

They showed him with a bandage on his right wrist during the the other night.

Could be true. Elly would be amazing in CF.

That is true, but he still is getting it done on the court.

Yes and no. Speaks to more help needed, but we all know that.
