Agree, we could not have beaten Villanova, Duke, Kansas, Michigan etc.
Does Cal Win Another Title Here?
- Thread starter BigBlueCatNation
- Start date
10, 14, or 15 we’re there for Cal to get at least one more.
Didn’t get it done and won’t again at UK

Until he gets guys who can hit free throws on a consistent basis,no.You don't hit free throws,you don't win the game.
True. We were never winning it all without Vanderbilt. A FF would have been nice though.
No and I've been saying that for a few years.
Cal will NOT win another Title at UK. Not with his current approach to assembling a team. No shooters, relying too heavily on freshmen, low basketball IQ and bad decision-making. Cal will still win a lot of games in his time left at UK but, that's about all.
I don’t think so. Especially with the one and done coming to a conclusion. We’ve seen the way our teams finish without a quote unquote superstar. He really needs someone like that and without one we will unfortunately have results like tonight
I hate to say it, but the window is closing.
No matter what, you just need that good mix of solid upperclassmen and good freshmen. We didn’t have it.

My crystal ball is down right now, but anything could happen. We have blown some opportunities, but this year wasn't one of them. We blew the game tonight, but this team was not a championship caliber team. I do think it makes it much harder with so many freshmen, so hopefully we start getting some guys back.
Not until he stops worrying about the stupid draft & quits slowing the ball down every possession. Bring these guys back so they can build their games & not push them out the door.
I don’t think so. His teams improve significantly over the season. He knows the right buttons to push. But, his end of game coaching isn’t very good, and he too often wants to slow the game down.
Who knows...but a GOLDEN opportunity was wasted tonight...that can't be argued...
The Cal model is broken. He will never win another title. It took a transcendent player like Davis and an unexpected return of Jones to win his only title. Cal is being out recruited and his main focus is on developing players for the NBA. Two of the greatest recruiters in their respective sports (Saban - football and Calipari - basketball) had incredible runs at bringing in star studded classes. Difference is Saban has won 6 national titles and Cal 1.
There are alot of things I want to say in the heat of the moment in regards to this thread title, but I'll wait a day or two.
I will say this , if I don't ever hear "we're young" again, it will be too soon

Have to agree. Clearly I want him to win multiple titles here. But I hope we don't go the way of Dan Marino (who said he thought he'd get several chances and didn't) or Jim Kelly (who got several chances..).
So will Duke! Which 2 will Cal start, besides the 3 Freshmen coming in.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
I honestly don't know. Cal will be allowed to retire when he decides to and the next coach surely won't recruit as well. We can only hope the next guy can recruit well enough and coach up his guys at a very high level.
2014 was the year for Cal to get another title. Kevin Ollie and UConn after surviving Wichita State, Louisville (who I think would've won the title if they beat us - vacated as it would've been), Michigan, and Wisconsin? I don't care if UConn had those explosive guards. THAT is arguably the worst loss I've ever endured as a UK fan. It still hurts, even more than 38-0 vs. Wisconsin because at least Wisconsin was good.
That’s not really a good comparison. I think we would’ve won a lot more had several players stayed 3 years, like in football.
Absolutely...can't wait to see the next version of Cals PFP where wins and losses don't matter.
Anymore, I think you could put him in a final four with Pulaski County, McCreary County, and Wayne County, and he would find a way to lose.
I don't see it. Cal is starting to remind me of Joe B. Hall, who wasted more talent than Bobby Knight ever had....
Duke and UNC passing us is something that I am starting to worry about with every passing year. A title isn't easy but those teams just seem to keep finding ways to win them as we blow opportunities.
hopefully, we'll have a couple of shooters. would be neat to have a pass-first PG who could get it to shooters too.
