    Mulder

    I think the answer is pretty simple. Cal values defense. Cal can only coach man to man defense. Mulder and Willis are terrible fits for Cal's style of man to man D. I love Cal, but his style is a bad fit for this team on the defensive side of the ball. Refusing to lean on and practice...

    What this years team is missing just my opinion

    Our offensive strength is contributing to our poor defense. We score like crazy against a defense that doesn't have time to get set. We don't shoot well enough as a team to be a contender as a grind it team. Cal has us overplaying on D all over the court most likely to speed up the game and...

    We don't play hard enough right now

    You didn't watch that game if you think that we didn't play hard. Our guys competed but failed to play smart. Our defense is strong and aggressive but it's deflating when you can't secure the rebound. Ohio made shots and the way to combat that is to weather the storm and run good offense to...

    Concerned: ZERO Rim Protection

    Jamal Murray Versus 2016 guards

    Murray looks like the most ready guard that Cal has recruited while at Kentucky from an offensive standpoint. Tyler will play a bunch, but Murray is going to end up being that dude with the ball when we need a bucket. Offensively, I think he will hands down be better than any of Cal's guards...

    When switching screens isn't working...

    Cal will rarely beat you with coaching. One dimensional to the end and hope talent prevails. This and 2010 really hurt, but he over achieved in 2011 and past post season so I guess it balances out.

    Let's do it again: Make me feel confident about the ND game in one sentence

    They only start one guy that's bigger than our point guard.
