-I was pleased with tonight's results. Sloppy play with uninspired D and win by 18, that's encouraging. This was a tough game to get up for and we predictably struggled. But now we're putting teams away. Arkansas has won 6 of their last 7 including multiple blowout wins and a W over Auburn. We handled the Hogs in B-Walt.
-During this 4 game win streak, we've had 5 players score in double figures resulting in 80+ points each outing. Knox has had 20+ the last 3. And it has not been the same 5 guys each time. We can score in a variety of ways and we have Fort Knox, our money man. It's scary for opponents.
-I'm actually ok with Richards and Gabriel starting. They absorb those early touch fouls that seem to get called when refs are establishing the whistle. With JV and PJ starting, one is bound to get saddled with 2 quick ones more times than not. Instead, we bring serious frontcourt fire power off the bench that are fresh and foul trouble free going down the stretch in games. Even if games get slightly out of hand early, we've shown on numerous occasions the ability to comeback with Arkansas being the most recent example. Richards isn't awful enough to cost us a game within the first 5 minutes. Let him get those early fouls.
-We're beating Florida and winning the SEC tourney. This is Cal's time of year. It's about to get really fun. For those who jumped ship... Sorry, we didn't bring any life jackets.
