    Pretty Decent Week So Far For Our NCAA/SEC Seeding

    Agreed. The top 7 is locked in. Feel like spots 8-14 are up in the air right now and depending on results this weekend could go any other way. Pretty clear separation between the consensus 14th team, Purdue, and whoever is the 15th team - Arizona, Clemson, Maryland. Think if we win on Saturday...

    Food for thought on Pope's defense

    So decided to look at some stats from Torvik in light of the 2p FG% you brought up. He categorizes 2s at the rim and in the midrange. Just in SEC play, opponents are shooting 49.5% from the midrange against us. I mean that's just an insane rate - open or contested. AND we've been able to force...

    Always appreciate you posting this. Feel like Auburn is pretty clearly the best team to me as your model shows. Know they lost to Duke but I was so impressed with them throughout that game. Just not a lot of weaknesses there. Tennessee has been awfully impressive each time I've watched them as...

    Best Argument for this Year's Team Being Good

    I think if you want to be optimistic there’s some resemblances to the best versions of the 2016, 2017, 2018 teams. I know those teams didn’t end how we wanted, but all of them were playing great basketball down the stretch. Downhill guard who wants to score at the rim: Briscoe, SGA. This year...

    1 minute into the postgame radio show and Cal's blaming fans..........

    I didn't want to say it lol, but yeah I agree. Personally, thought one of our better games this year in terms of player/ball movement and visually how we looked along with the shots we got was the Howard game - without Oscar. Everything just has seemed so stagnant when trying to get him the...

    OT: Bryce Hopkins big man on Providence campus: leads in mins, shots taken and made, points and rebounds.

    Agree on Hopkins and Livingston being best used as 4s. I think the problem the coaching staff has run into is playing those guys at that position with Oscar at the 5. I just think Oscar’s such a liability on defense that you need more length and athleticism to make up for what he isn’t on...
