I think we will have a very good team come March, that will be a top defensive team in the nation

Please let Jemarl Baker play 12 minutes and be able to shoot. It's painful right now especially if Quade can't make anything.

We are gonna be fine. SKJ looked very good, needs more PT. Have a feeling he and Vanderbilt end up being or two primary bigs. But fear not, come March we will be right there with a good chance.

I’m encouraged by tonight too. Take away the offensive rebounding disparity and cut down on some of the terrible freshmen turnovers and we win this game comfortably. We will be just fine.

If you all weren't happy with tonight then seriously go jump off a bridge. This team looked great defensively and is only going to get better. The offense will come over time like it does every year!!! They held an experienced top ranked Kansas team to the low 60's. Give me a break. This team is going to be a hand full come March!!! I was very impressed.

I'm happy with how much the team has progressed since the first game. Sometimes they seemed to improve from play to play mid-game. I would have have loved a win, but this progress is good to see.

Impressed by what. We scored 61 points.

Kansas played terrible, and still beat us.

I’m honestly impressed because this is probably Cals most inexperienced team ever and we kept it close the entire game against a top 6 team . Sure we have lots of things to work on and improve but we will only continue to get better.

Crawl back in your hole troll.

He may or may not be a troll, I don't know. But he's right. This team is incredibly offensively challenged, and that's not going to change. They can't shoot AND they have no back-to-the-basket game. That's a bad combo. You aren't going to beat many good teams depending on transition and garbage buckets.

Both teams played absolutely terrible compared to the first game. If we're going to be good by March, it's hard to not imagine how good Duke/Michigan State will be.

Both of those teams would've rolled either team. Not a knock on us but Kansas didnt play so well either.

It's hard to judge a game when it appears in the end that both teams are vastly overrated.

It's hard to sit here and say that there AREN'T any better teams than #4 and #7 after tonight.

And you can't turn the ball around and act like KU is WAY more experienced. Yes they are more experienced, but not necessarily great experience.

This should be how every fan should feel after this game, yes it would be great if UK won but they fought hard and battled a more experienced talented team. They made the mistakes that you should expect from a team so young but they also shows some things that you’d expect from a older team. They should be very dangerous by feb. Also remember Vanderbilt will be back.


Now all of this changes if they regress in other OOC games but at this point they should only lose one more game before he Conference starts. If that happens then I think that would be a successful OOC for this young team

KU ran into a very athletic, tall and extremely young squad that almost beat them. We have the talent. This game does not reflect who this team will become in March.

Knox is elite. Diallo still needs to figure out what he does best but is a difference maker. Alexander is very good. Washington is a stud but needs more time to get comfortable at this level. SKJ had his coming out party tonight. There is good depth on this team. The sky is not falling and all you Nancy's out there need to step back off the ledge.

They could've caved and gave up but they battled back time and time again. Once they figure things out and they will this will be a good team.

People want experience, well experience barely beat 5 freshman in November. Neither team played well but given we never went away against a veteran team is a positive to take away. Once we gel and figure this thing out we will be tough to beat.

Oh you’re awful on both the football and basketball boards. Get a gripe. You don’t have to be horribly negative about everything.

I’m really encouraged tonight actually. They fought.

Yeah but it's a long way to March and a lot can happen between now and then.

Dude, we’re are ALL freshman and missing our second best offensive player and lost to the number 4 team by 4. Say what u want, but if you don’t see promise out of this team, you don’t know basketball, pal.

This was these young cats 1st real game against a ranked team. I was really encouraged by what I saw tonight. Cal will work on the offense. By Jan. we will see a total different team. Have faith.

I'm bummed. But, hey, It could've been worse...and my God, did our boys fight.

Should've won, but, meh...it's November. The only thing I'm pissed about is Kansas screaming "Rock Chalk" like it actually means something.

officiating.......... the refs always called something effed up to kill any U.K. Momentum.

I'm sick and tired of this sh*t. Someone's going to have to stop me soon from kidnapping refs and shipping them to some isolated southeast Asian island
