Ulis and Murray got us an L in the second round of the tournament. Fox and Knight led us to the elite 8 and final four, respectively.

It's almost like basketball is a team game.
who was the last team to win a championship with a point guard as small as Tyler Ulis?
This should elicit zero disagreement. I'd put Ulis as the best since Turner.
We learned with Travis Ford that tiny guards will eventually be shut down against an athletIc defender.
That’s what I heard on the internet.
It's not sophomore Ulis's fault his frontcourt was Poythress, Lee and Skal.
I'm not sure my father has ever hated anyone as much as Kemba Walker. Billy Gillispie is a close second, but Kemba is still Pretzel Dad's Most Wanted.
Huge False
-Lmao at Travis Ford take. He was MVP of the SEC, MVP of the SE Regional. He never played anyone athletic until Jalen Rose & Jimmy King? Tell that to Charlie Ward.
These blanket takes about players who had unbelievable seasons before ultimately losing a team game in the unpredictable NCAA Tournament are good for a laugh though.
Not Ulis’ fault he was saddled with a bust and Murray leaving his shot in Lexington once the tournament started.
Yeah Fox, Knight and Wall were flashier but Ulis was the epitome of the cliche “floor general”.

True, but Ty Jerome did all the ball handling in crunch time. Clark would have ever gotten away with a walk in front of the entire world.
I'll say this, if I could give those 4 Andrew Harrison missed layup possessions in the waning minutes vs Wisconsin to another Cal PG, it would have definitely been Knight. And that includes Wall. It doesn't mean he's the best. I just trust him most in the clutch due to his ability to get his own shot and make it.
I'll take G cause i always default to whatever team D Lamb is on. I know he shows up in March
I'm taking E because they seem well suited for each of their positions. They should play well as a team immediately. With that said, part of me thinks whichever team Davis is on will win every time.

Teague is a great PG when paired with Davis, MKG, Jones, Lamb, and Miller!!!
Teague was so frustrating on that squad but man did he grow into that role. What a joy that team was, took the edge of suck off my 2L year.
The 2012 team was the fulfillment of Eric Bledsoe’s prophecy. They got **** right.
How in the touch was Teague frustrating January on? Dude was a bulldog on the balk defender, had a sticky handle, knew how to set everyone up and could shoot the 3 well enough to keep defenses honest.
I still dream about Meeks almost playing with Wall, Bledsoe, Patterson and Cousins.
Easily my biggest "what if" draft decision under Cal. That team might not have lost a game.
No way they lose a game.
I should have specified early on. After Wall and Knight I know I expected him to come out of the gate ready to just wreck people.
I'm stuck on other what ifs.
-Dakari on '16 team
-Lee on '17 team
-Humphries on '18 team
Each team didn't need much, just a little something extra.
Meeks would have been too good to be true.

im only thinking of players I’ve seen play so that’s where I get stuck with the “Ragin’ Caucasians”
Bret Bearup maybe ?
I’m probably forgetting a Cal player ...
Having WCS available in the 2014 title game.
Teague gets bonus points for the “stole” him from Louisville factor.
Piece of **** Mark Emmert not blackballing Kanter in 2011.
Wiltjer, if talking just Cal players. And Jorts if we are talking played for, but not recruited by, Cal.
Folks in the pick em, there was a glitch yesterday where only 2 games were showing up. All 10 are back, FYI. Make your picks!
