Too young... Oscar played too much...we win or we learn... I told you all it would take time to get there...blah blah.

Cal cannot coach end of games... Izzo can. Yes Wallace missed key FT's... Two dunks at end of regulation and end of first OT on excellently drawn up and executed plays.

Jeez... Wash rinse repeat.

B-b-b-but, he had 8 assists......


Wheeler fanbois, did I do it right?
How many stupid plays and TOs did he have in the 2nd OT?
Don't forget the bricks he threw up
Between him and topping could have built a garage

You damn right. They have no doubt made adjustments from the Michigan State game. Hopefully we can keep it within 10 points.

This team is 17th to 24th ranking
Man I’m just tired, he gives us this marketing pitch every offseason, then comes and says we may not be ready, that’s on him as a coach, and then when he faces any decent coach he gets taken to the cleaners

If Pitino was the coach of this team they would be fun to watch. As it is, this team can play a perfect half and have a 5 point lead and brings back memories of Roy Williams at Kansas. Cals style is made for losing games late.

We're gonna talk about Wheeler having some bad moments but not talk about CJ being absolutely nonexistent? Verrrry interesting. But not surprising.

Close games all come down to how do you score in the half court. Our options:
-Oscar down low but he’s not long
-Wheeler driving left which everyone knows is coming
-Fredrick open for 3 but he’s not athletic enough to run off screens to create said shot
No one else has anything concrete and that’s a huge concern.

I missed the game (out of town celebrating the wife's birthday) - only caught the game from the end of the 1st OT on. Did Onyenso play? Was he hurt? Why would Ware be getting minutes over him in the 2nd OT. I realize that Onyenso will have growing pains, but he's going to improve. Ware is what he is and he's not going to get better. He should be the last option off the bench

That’s not true about CJ he did that plenty at Iowa. That’s on the coach and the scheme

Can’t believe we still have these Cal mouth breathers that think Cal is the better coach. Lmao

Cal has diarrhea of the mouth. I don't even listening to him anymore. Just no point. His act is old and worn out.

1. Totally out Coached. We have by far better talent.
2. Why was Fredricks in the game with the game on the line numerous times? He got burned over and over on defense.
3. Why can a Hall of Fame coach never and I mean never come up with a good offensive call at the end of a game?
4. Why with the game on the line and us having the lead with mere seconds to go would we not have our best free throw shooters in the game with us knowing they are automatically going to foul.

Cal is not running screens for Fredrick. Hauser‘s athletic ability is not off the charts, yet MSU managed to get him looks.

Speaking of excuses, Cal and Wheeler in the post-game "we haven't played much together yet."

I guess the Bahamas was a figment of my imagination.
