It was also clear that our inside presence is a huge problem and will be an Achilles heel all season long. Duke had Mark Williams and Theo John, plus the Griffin kid who came off the bench. We have Oscar who had a heck of a game but he's only one guy and will see a lot of minutes on the bench in foul trouble. We will be mediocre.

Pffffttt
Have you seen next year's class?
We will be the talk of the basketball world.
not without some good forwards & a center
how many easy shots did Duke get in the paint last night because UK had no one to alter shots

But killer "We Eat First" Cal didn't want to hurt feelings by bringing in Kofi.

Unreal.

Forget wait until next year. Wait until next week. Next month everyone talks about us in the Final Four. We lost our first game by 8. The season is not lost. But a lot of you all are.

Better than anyone on our roster. Recruiting misses eventually catch up. Hopefully next year’s class will turn the tide. I am afraid we won’t see any of these kids back as the transfer portal has ruined the game.
I hope we get some size next year but there's none recruited so far.

For the sake of Keion Brooks who would've been the 12th man on Duke's bench tonight. Ridiculous.
I keep seeing this. I must’ve missed it over the past few months. Was it indeed Brooks that didn’t want Cal to bring Kofi?

It's one game, you people need to relax.

Meh, banchero wasn't effective with Toppin guarding him. Keels was allowed to bulldoze. Moore wasn't impressive to me.

We could've played better but Duke having 147 free throws didn't help. I didn't think we fouled that much.
He was just fine vs Toppin. Toppin just did better than Brooks and he was cramping. And while i agree with you on the free throws Duke also only made 1 three the entire game So imo it evens out.

Foul disparity impacts the game in way more important ways than just points in the board.

banchero is a stud obviously everyone knew that. I did not think keels would be that good & Moore was nothing special his first two years but last night he was playing ball. On the other hand I kept hearing crap how dominate mark Williams is all year and he’s overrated, clumsy and is just a somewhat rim protector. We should have just let them shoot 3s last night

It's always "wait till next year" LOLOL

Losers mentality.
I think we'll be very competitive this year.

But when you say loser's mentality--what should we do right now? Lobby to get Cal fired? You think we're going to get a coach to waltz in here and win this season?

I think Banchero and Keels were definitely the two best players on the court.

TyTy doesn't have to be better than them for us to win this game or games like this--but he can't be as bad as he was.

Keels was a top 15 guy we did not even offer until very very late. The thing I like about Livingston and Wallace is that are physically ready to play at this level.
just normal Cal...…..late to the party

I don’t know I would rank Oscar up there somewhere as being one of the best players on the court last night 17 pts 19 rebounds
