He got outcoached badly.

I called it- they’d lose early because of a poor three point shooting night and instead of adjusting they’d just keep firing. Sdsu coach made great adjustment after a Bama run. Oats let the run grow by refusing to call a timeout to get an easy basket and instead … jacked up threes and turned it over.

Calipari has never underachieved this badly with by far the best talent in college basketball.
Maybe the dumbest post ever from this board

Few gets a top 3 seed every year beating up on the WCC and is always slotted in the west which usually the easiest bracket by far.
9 straight sweet 16 or better, 5 elite 8 or better in 9 years, 2 runner up, this year still to be determined. He HAS to WIN ONE but if he does it's clearly better than Cal's best.

And who you hiring? Steven's Wright and Donovan are pie in the sky at best. Musselman is a total weirdo who's never made a FF either. Oats can't even beat SDSU to make the E8 with by far the most talented team in the tourney. Dude from Ohio St after this year? LOL Who's this guy who's just gonna come in and start rattling off FFs?
Be sad the program has to shut down when Cal leaves

Oat’s philosophy bought him one more tournament win than UK this year. Oats will never me win a title with that offensive style. Guy is overrated as a coach and definitely lacking on the integrity side. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.

Don't listen to the people who think there is only one way to win.

San Diego St had the 70th adjusted offense in CBB. They have a Top Tier defense.

I have said this 1000 times....the NCAAT is different than the regular season.

How many teams have given up 75 and won their game in this tournament? The answer is 7. There have been 7 games out 50+ played where both teams scored 75+ pts.

The game is still about defense. Yeah you have to be able to score, but not like some on here think.

Alabama relies on their 3 pt shot. They didn't at times this year but old habits die hard...3/27 tonight.

Future of basketball...hahahahahaha

And the rims are INSANELY tight in the tourney which makes his style all the more hard to win it all with. And most final fours are in huge domes making it even HARDER.

Now that they are out of the tourney, maybe, just maybe they can now see fit to seek justice for the mother that lost her life.

I cannot speak for anyone else but my personal feeling on Oats has to do with style of play mostly. This has nothing to do with Cal. I hope Cal retires next year and we get a new coach. I just hope it isn't Oats.

No one's saying that but the next coach here has to be prepared for a 30-2 season that ends the S16 or E8 to be a "failure." It's quite literally not for everyone.
Most everyone is saying thst who is dogging any coach mentioned. Soon as they lose a game like tonight there are multiple threads just like this one.

Coach X is this or that. Meanwhile the actual coach at UK is currently on a 3 year epic run of failure which doesn’t seem to bother his cult at all.

Playing devil's advocate mostly because I hate the Cal cult thing. I mean the other side could be called anti-Cal cult...it is just stupid and divisive like a political thread....

If you look at a guy who is an "up and comer" like Oats and he has achieved zero success in NCAAT and want him over a guy who is older, has done it before and is current coach I think some just tend to believe the current guy could change and fix it.

I believed this for a while. I don't really anymore. I think if the class holds up and he gets the guys he wants it will tell the story and he will either win or go home and retire or quit.

Personally, give me someone who has won something of consequence....

If the ultimate goals is winning the NCAAT then when she be getting someone who has done it well before or have a very serious feeling that the person is on the door step about to knock it down.

Not crying at all. They played poorly. No idea who Oates is though. Where does he coach?

You over at Cal's dog sitting?
I haven’t defended Cal in over 2 years. But go off bud. I’m sure Bama has a few spots open for more bandwagon fans.

3-27 from 3.

BuT tHe MeTRiCs
I think we all need to look into the metrics and be fair.

1. Not all 3pters are the same. Catch and shoot, 3pt off the dribble, un contested, contested, catch and shoot with the pass swinging from outside, vs catch and shoot with the pass coming from inside the paint to 3pt line, etc.
2. Taking a ton of bad 3's late in shotclock is not this amazing analytics.

I don't want him but SDSU is no slouch. I feel like that's a really tough match-up for a sweet 16 game especially considering Bama was the overall number 1.
Bama should have still handled them. If Oates wants to take the next step in his career then he is gonna have to advance in the tournament at some point. I mean, he’s basically Tom crean right now except crean has accomplished more

This is funny actually. If Kentucky had the season that some of these these teams had then our fanbase would burn down the city of Lexington. But here we sit watching them with jealousy in the end. **** is random
