Fair on final fours but elite 8s, point stands.

And debatable last night. Lost to a 3 seed that played horribly most of the game.

Them kicking our asses on the boards and being down that much should indicate that.

People forget the story of the first half and as bad as blowing that kind of lead was, the mean kind of played out over 45 minutes.

It is what it is. Address the holes and build a better team. I still think the momentum is huge and drastically different than not making the tourney or being popped in the first round.

Beating St John’s should still be recognized.

Feel better? Jeeze.

End of the day we probably get blown out by Florida anyway.

Making the sweet 16 and Elite 8 is basically the same thing. Bad loss but I felt just as bad in attendance getting handled by Baylor and was nearly as bad getting smoked by UCONN/Duke the other years.

Really only matters who wins. Couldn’t even tell you who was in the final four 3-4 years ago.

I guess. That seems pretty easy to generalize.

I'm sure both have had their fair share of blown losses, I'm not going to look it up. End of the day, we were essentially down to 7 players. 7 might even be generous given Zs complete ineffectiveness down the stretch against real competition.

That is going to be hard to overcome for any coach at this point in the season and it showed last night.

Obviously your seed dictates your draw but we also had two much harder games to play ahead of this one vs Tech.

Self? Izzo?

Cmon man, those dudes have been meh at best the last 5 years outside of Self's Natty.

If anything Cal's 10 year record in the tourney is as good or better than both.

It's easy to blame Cal for a lot of reasons but end of the day, the guys were tired and didn't execute. Texas Tech did, hit some huge contested shots and we lost.

We won a lot of close games down the stretch that Cal and the team won't get credit for vs how it ended.

It sucks but its over and time to look forward to next year and build a stronger team.
That’s what I’m saying.

Can’t trust a grown man that still gels his hair upward.
I mean kind of weird for it to come up regardless no?

Dude has to be some sort of creep.
Did we all just forget about Floridas coach being a diddler?

How does that just go away these days?
Pretty sure Hovland shot an 84 this past weekend.

Insane because 2 years ago when he won the Fed Ex and tore up the Ryder Cup, I’m not even sure I’ve seen Scottie on that big of a heater. He was unconscious for a few weeks in 2023. Think he shot a 61 at the BMW and then destroyed everyone at the Fed Ex the next weekend.

Loved watching him when he’s on. Sucks seeing guys fall apart like that,
Flexing on a game we lost. Thats a new one.
1 day tour?

Thought we lost on Friday only scoring 6…

Fair.

I think they know how much their team sucks and how washed up Bill Rug is in the new era.

Yea was about to say, their team is pretty salty.

They were knocking down shots everywhere today.

Has been the best basketball conference for 15 years.

It's also been almost 15 years since they joined. We should probably let it go.
Hard to say.

Davis and the other young guys were playing really terrible at that point. As was Z and Aidoo.

Encouraging nonetheless to see guys step up and the way Cal stuck with them all.

Everything after making the tourney for this team is gravy. Should be stress free from here on out.

Aidoo and Brazile. Dumb and dumber.

JFC this league is absurd this year.

No one misses.
