January 17, 20188 yr Just have to hope Cal can keep this team together. Then see what happens in March. I probably will have to keep saying this. But this is no different than most of his teams in January who look bad and very bad at times on the road in conference play. If last year's team could lose 3 out of 4 in conference including two blow out losses by 22 and 16. Then I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen to this team during this stretch.
January 17, 20188 yr 59 fouls and 78 total FT's outscored 33-11 down the stretch. This makes the game at home Saturday with Florida even more important than it already was. Eh it's another game. I don't view it as this huge must win game.
January 17, 20188 yr Besides Vanderbilt, only other silver lining is that Knox hit a 3 to keep the streak alive.
January 17, 20188 yr Green who is one of their better shooters didn't play. Alexander played with 4 fouls the last 10 minutes, so didn't get much defensively from him in last 10 mins. Gabriel their most experienced player fouled out with 10 mins left. Vanderbilt who may be their best player honestly had his first game tonight. He is only going to get better especially once he gets his legs under him. Knox seems to have listened and is starting to go inside more. As frustrating as it is to see them lose a game up 14. It's part of the process. Cals teams struggle in January in conference. They do basically every year. This team is showing more signs each game imo. Vanderbilt with the little bit he played tonight makes me even more confident they will be at their best come tourney time. Now I think they will end up being a seed like a 4 through a 6. But will be a very dangerous team to play.
January 17, 20188 yr Someone correct me if I’m wrong but this team had 6 passes intercepted and converted into easy SC layups. That’s 12 points! That’s unacceptable. Telegraphing and making lazy passes hurt them tonight as much as anything. And I agree, they really missed not having Green.

I’m not seeing what some of you guys see looking through your blue colored glasses. It’s time to stop making excuses for this bunch. They are lazy, weak, and uninspired. Vanderbilt look promising and Richards FINALLY did show up, but I’ll be surprised if this bunch is any better in March.

I'm pretty sure I have heard similar stuff 3 out of the last 4 years.
January 17, 20188 yr You probably will be surprised then. I'm pretty sure I have heard similar stuff 3 out of the last 4 years. I hope your correct, I really do.
January 17, 20188 yr No guard depth. Average PG play. Toughness issues. Too many of the same players clogging the roster. No elite NBA talent to bail them out when necessary. Yeah. Nothing to see here. Carry on... :lol2:
January 17, 20188 yr I hope your correct, I really do. Well you were wrong about last year's team and your second round prediction. Let's hope you're wrong again
January 17, 20188 yr Well you were wrong about last year's team and your second round prediction. Let's hope you're wrong again Been wrong before, will be again, not to proud to admit when I am.
January 17, 20188 yr Bad loss. You have to win when you're up 14 in the 2nd half. That being said, they are going to be fine.
