I tried to tell people not to get their hopes up. KU with their worst team in Self's run and they will still cakewalk to the conference title.

I wonder if the NCAA bused in the 45-year old Graham grandmother.. What a nice bonus to help you get a win.

There is no God.

Kansas is all that is wrong with college sports. The biggest pieces of crap reside in Lawrence, Kansas. Cheaters win. **** Self & **** KU basketball.

The only positive I take from this is that our L to Kansas is weighted more positive for us in the eyes of the tournament committee. Hate when the refs call the game differently from half to half, granted the last 3 min, Carter looked rattled and kept on jacking those NBA 3...is he even on the projected nbadraft board?

Honestly our best bet may be to keep the pace up. I feel they’ll eat us alive in half court.

At least Cal has shown that we shred the pressure when we usually play them. This team decision making worries me but I hope quade is back because our three guard look can handle it. We can definitely see over it.

WVU has a worse half-court offense than UK and that's hard to do.

If presses worked all the time, everyone would run one. West Virginia has to have the press work because it’s both their best defense and only form of offense. They are atrocious in the half court on both ends. The calls generally go their way at home and that combined with their pressure make it a tough place to win. Ku had lost 4 in a row there.

When Kentucky comes to Morgantown this will be a different West Virginia team. The threes will fall and the crowd will go crazy. We have to be on our A+ game at that place. I think we can pull it out though. But we have a few more games to worry about before heading over there.

I watched that game and the way Kansas defensed and scrapped the last 10 min is exactly what cal wants out of our guys.
Wvu played poorly also, but Kansas took advantage of it.

You guys underestimate the size advantage Kentucky brings to the table. If your guards can break the press, Kentucky should win.

People here underestimate everything about our team. I especially love the "our half court offense is terrible" posts. UK is shooting over 50% so far in SEC play. This is one of Cal's better offensive teams.

Kansas played a zone defense most of the second half which got WVU jacking up a lot of bad threes. They are NOT a good outside shooting team and UK can do exactly the same thing to them.

I did not see Kansas do a thing in that second half that UK can't do to WVU.

I don't like Kansas at but west Virginia comets 10 fouls every trip down the court so they have no rite to complain about fouls
That is definitely true but during Kansas's run, they were permitted to be the more physical team and got by with several fouls that should have been freethrows for WVU. Was it the reason that WVU lost, absolutely not. They wilted under the pressure and to KU's physical play in the last 10 minutes of that game and made no adjustments.

Not really. Ranked 39th on Kenpom. That is not the be all and end all, but it's not THAT far off. Not really even close one of Cal's better offensive teams.

We may be shooting a good percentage, but when you turn the ball over so much and don't even get a shot off the percentage is miss leading

That's what my dad always told me about Money Printers!
