Watch the post game presser and Cal will tell you different. Cliff notes will be an incoherent version of the following:

Good team
Beat Louisville
Tournament team
Best team in whatever conference
Blah blah blah Cal speak
Look we are trying to build something.
It takes time.
We have not practiced together at all.
We are young.
I’m trying to find guys who will fight
We have to make shots.
I’m seeing if 4 big men are the future of basketball.
Guys have been hurt.
Trying to figure out what this team needs to do on offense.
We like what we see defensively.
Only gave up 41 tonight!
We changed defenses tonight but no basketball bennies in here can tell me what we did different.
We have been practicing a zone so watch out for it.
People may not know this but we have not even started working on offensive sets yet.
Edit: I forgot Livingston was on the bench last night.

It was embarrassingly bad for a big stretch. We looked uncoached and unprepared for an inferior team again.
Same song and dance every game. You can’t beat a good team playing like this and starting games like this. There is no chance we watch film and prepare for who we are playing. If we do then we have the dumbest IQ players in the history of the school every other year it seems lately.

Duke won by 17, ucla by 21 and Clemson by 10. Who is beating them by 30?
Pretty poor performance by the Cats, but no one else has really beaten this team by too much more, and they've played good opponents. Tuesday after Thanksgiving playing a mid major is a perfect scenario to lay an egg.

If we played the first 12 minutes like we did the last 12 minutes and are up by 20 most of the game no one would really be complaining a tremendous amount. More often than not blowing out a mid major team happens because the better team goes on a good run, our run just came at the end of the game instead of the beginning. I'm not looking too much into this game to be honest.

Won by 40 last week and people still bitched. They acted like the cupcake games are irrelevant but tonight showed that was bs.

Clemson, Duke, UCLA and UK making up 4 of their 6 losses. They aren’t as bad as their record. You would have to actually know something about basketball to understand that and knowledge is a rarity around these parts.

Anyone crowing about beating Bellarmine by 19 has zero basketball IQ.

This team has way more experience than mist any Cal team at UK. NPOY returning. Gimme a break.

Just want to point out it's hilarious how you two are saying the exact opposite, lmao.

"If you think this was a good win you know nothing about basketball."

"You're an idiot if you can't tell that Bellarmine is actually not bad."

They looked like 2 even teams to me tonight. Toppin and Collins got punked again. Bet they'll tell you playing ucla and duke was much harder.

Duke and UCLA also allowed 60+ points. UK held them to 6 2pt field goals. Duke and UCLA allowed double that in each of their games. I actually would rather see a lower scoring games that allowing a team like Bellarmine score 60-80. Kentucky also held them to a season low 46 shot attempts. Reduce Kentuckys TOs in half and this is probably a 30+ point victory.

They scored more points in both the Duke and UCLA games. Kentucky also held them to 46 shot attempts while Duke and UCLA allowed 50+.

Yes. They are a bad team.

But what was the line.........24? We won by 19.
We practically covered a spread within the last 10 mins of the game.
We looked like crap the first 30 tho.

How the hell do you know the knowledge of all posters? Opponent aside for 30 of the 40 minutes tonight we looked like dog ****. You don’t have to be very knowledgeable of the game to know this, it’s called an eye test. I’m not going to pretend to know your knowledge or anyone else’s but mine is pretty damn good for someone who does something completely different for a living.

Cal sucked tonight as usual!!!!

The end score doesn’t bother me. The 1st half felt like Gonzaga n the MSU end coaching though. Yell and swap kids but no coaching. Finally putting pressure on.them n Fredrick hit a couple shots we got the big lead. Then he pulled both….

This is the exact reason Eric Musselman said he would never play Bellarmine. If you lose it looks really bad but even a convincing 19 point win is still bad in some peoples eyes. Even the programs that the posters on here sniff their gonads has struggled against them.

“You would have to actually know something about basketball to understand that and knowledge is a rarity around these parts.”

Copied and pasted above your exact quote. I mean if you aren’t implying there is very little basketball knowledge on this board then please explain what you actually meant by the above.

Where did I say every poster tho like you said? I didn’t say it, thanks for proving me right! The twisting don’t work here bubba. Use that on someone who doesn’t call your Bs out like me and you should be good.

I mean if you can’t even understand the context of your own freaking words then you do have a knowledge (in general) problem. I mean I was going to give you the benefit of doubt but thinks for clearing things up for me,

Sure, whatever you say. You might want to learn basic grammar before you question someone’s knowledge.
