Don't talk logic here, it might confuse some people.
Does Cal win another title?
- Thread starter fisherscat
- Start date
I'm starting to think not, and not because of his coaching ability or recruiting philosophy, but because the NCAA has proven time and time again that they will stack the deck against us and make it as difficult as possible for Kentucky to come out on top.
Without a fair whistle he'll need overwhelming talent. I'm sorry but the refs have that game to unc today. I'm not sure I've seen a more blatant whistle than today. UNC doesn't even make the final game. If you look at uk's bracket the past seven years we never get an even bracket or good seeding. Even in 2012 they tried to screw us.
He's most proud of getting them drafted to the NBA.
If that's true then KY prob won't have the bench or talented veterans to do so unless just a ridiculous class like Wall and Cuz and co.....Which could happen but dang that's rare

I remember growing up making fun of Dean Smith. We'd rattle off countless names of stud players that played for him and then marvel at the lack of titles.
We are the new Carolina Way. Hopefully we at least have classes to attend.

Are you a dumbass? You can guess what I think, and it's the same answer to your question.
Dean Smith dominated recruiting post Wooden for damn near 25 years and only won two.
My head says no.

Yes he's a dumbass. The c&&ksucker never shows after a win.
I agree, he'll prolly win more than one more. There's no need to be down or place blame. You lost a great game to a great team on a last second shot, it happens.
Probably not. Look at Kentucky's bracket this year. Look at how today's game was officiated. The NCAA won't let it happen.
He can win another. He just needs a little more talent to overcome his poor decision making in these critical endings .
No he will not. Not unless he changes how he pushes guys to the NBA and that's not happening. It'll either take a terrible year where a handful of guys that were supposed to be OAD just can't leave and he adds a great class with a once in a generation player like Davis. Chances of all that happening is very slim.
It took a NBA lockout threat pushing a top class of guys back here and getting our best player in history and also the #2 pick of the draft just to get the one he has. It justs isn't happening. Our teams under Cal will always find a way to lose late in the tournament.

All the powers have struggled to make it further than us. It feels like being a golfer at a major. Just keep being somewhere on the leaderboard every Sunday and give yourself a shot. Hope you can close a few of them out.
I do think these heartbreakers will motivate Cal even more.

Now you are finally seeing that making it to the Final 4 should be the goal every year. To win it all takes some Luck. So many land mines in the way. You need first a good team. Second a good draw in matchups in your side of the Bracket. Next no injuries.Then all your players play their average games ,no bad games. Hopefully playing on a floor that isn't in your enemies back yard,and last like we found out today refs who call the whole game fairly. Then you might make a Final 4. Then it is Luck from there on. Games could go either way.
Nobody has a clue. That's the only acceptable and correct response
Yep....Worthy and Jordan and many others went pro early much like Ky.....Fr are much more ready to play now vs the 1980s
The OAD keeps us stacked but the experience factor really hurts. Where would this team have been with Hawk and Willis?
No you are judging by championships because if you were judging by wins and losses what Cal has done for our program would give you a perpetual woody. Assuming you have a d$&k which is questionable. Most wind and NCAA wins since he's been here I believe so stop lying.
We didn't "find" a way to lose. Monk hit a great shot. Maye hit a great shot. That's basketball. If you can't handle that, watch tennis or something.
i believe Cal will get another title as will Self. they are too good of coaches not to get another one if not multiple. they key is recruiting a couple good players they will stick around for 2-3 years with some stud freshman.
So basically we need the NBA to threaten another lockout and then find a player as good or better than Davis to add to the team? Shouldn't be too hard.
Face it, we lucked out in 2012. Everything aligned perfectly for that team.
I thought this was the Cats ceiling even after they got on the winning streak. Maybe the Final Four if they don't have to face UCLA and Carolina back to back.
I love Willis but he obviously isn't on a level with Jackson and Leaf.
Cats were a really good power forward away from a title this year so Cal got about as much out of this group as he could.
I thought Monk would be more of a factor today so that is a little disappointing but freshman play like freshman sometimes.

Ridiculous.
You were in the Elite 8.
How many Final 4's has Cal taken Kentucky to?
Winning titles is kinda hard.
Sheesh.
I don't think so. Not because of Cal and OAD but the way the NCAA rigs the tournament and ALWAYS makes it murders row but KY to adavance. Makes it easy for other brackets. Is it because they hate Cal, the fans, or KY don't know. But at least with any luck RP and UL will be on probation again
I know this; he has us in a position to win one almost every year. When you get to the elite 8, anything can happen. All of those teams are good. Eventually, though the odds say we will break through and win another one. Maybe even next year.
