March 12, 201115 yr Nice win by the Cats...Classy move by Coach Cal promoting Bama a little bit. Hope those injuries don't hurt yall too much.
March 12, 201115 yr Author I remember a coach pointing out to me that a player can get hurt on any play. This is true, and that is an acceptable risk. It is not an acceptable risk to put someone you need at risk for injury in a situation where the game is in hand or you can't appreciably change the outcome at that point. If Lamb is not ready tomorrow, it could be the difference between a 4 and a 3 seed, which I feel is significant. If he's not ready for the NCAA Tournament, it's a death blow to their chances of making any kind of real impact. All because he couldn't be bothered to take him out with a 16 point lead and 1:16 left in the game.

There is no way he shouldn't have taken them all out at that point.
March 12, 201115 yr I should only have one emotion right now, but unfortunately I have mixed emotions. Wind right out of my NCAA sails.
March 12, 201115 yr I rarely criticize Cal but that shouldnt have happened at the end. Got to get those guys out of there.
March 12, 201115 yr Lamb said he will be playing tomorrow. Right now I think Lamb is full of it. He couldnt even put weight on it going back to the lockerroom. Ive had so many ankle injuries and they can be down right nasty and very painful.
March 12, 201115 yr Author Lamb said he will be playing tomorrow. I'll believe that when I see it. Either that's him just saying that because he wants to play, or it looked WAY worse than it was.
