Oscar plays as hard against Southern as he does Duke. And that is not a given for so many talented players, sadly.
Game Thread. Cats vs Southern

I'm with you, it's mind boggling to me how the SEC allows it.
They would never allow it to happen to Alabama football.
I’m not sure it’s that. We have guards this year and when Wheeler has been good this year we have looked fine. He hasn’t played well this game. Unforced turnovers have killed us in this one. I know we gotta have more movement on the offense though.
We played bad
They played good. I'll give them some credit. They force turnovers coming into this game and was able to have some success doing that to us.

Everyone so negative. I know it's frustrating to not blown out these teams every game. But ranked teams are losing to teams like Southern every few days about. We haven't. Not worried.
Can't imagine being in Rupp with a crowd like this. I've never been there when I wasn't jammed in like a sardine.
Wish I knew, seems like getting Grady, Tyty, Mintz open threes should be our focus
Maybe next game Cal will play with 4 bigs and 1 guard and coach with a big smile the whole game!
Right. There's something to be said about blowing out most of the cupcake teams.
This wasn't a great game by any stretch of the imagination. But we are walking out with another game in the W column
Yep, and I HATE watching his offensive teams.
It has never made sense to me that he recruits so many elite athletes but he doesn’t press and use that length and depth to his advantage.
If you are going to run a crap offense, then why not try to create transition opportunities where those athletes can flourish?
Ha ain't that the truth. Conference and Pro leagues protect the teams that make them money.. from Duke to Alabama to the Patriots to Golden State and the Lakers.. yet we're always dealing with absurd foul trouble under Cal
Arkansas and Bama gonna be trouble for our Cats…
Wheeler has been pretty bad tonight. He almost capped it off by letting a guy who had fallen down pick his pocket while still on the ground.
These dudes scored anywhere from 12-15 points very late in the shot clock. Like their coach they made some tough shots. Give them credit for playing hard and making clutch shots.

Why are you always so concerned about what others have to say? 99% of your posts are direct shots at those that aren't shouting rainbows and popcorn.
Just post your opinion about what you're seeing on the court and let others post theirs.
Pitiful win. Alabama will skull drag us.
Vanderbilt versus Temple. I bet that's some exciting basketball. Cal should have to watch that from half court.
This was their super bowl, and they played well. I'll take the win
No Oscar and this team loses to Southern tonight.
Random UK fan could coach a better offense than this mess.
Could be a lot worse. We could’ve lost at home. A la Evansville.
But that’s excusable because UVA didn’t have their best player and lost to a 16 seed.
I was really hoping one of our ex players would become a great Coach and be able to take over the program one day. No one has really be able to get it
If it works he will
