1/3 vs. UCLA, UL, and UNC..won't get it done. If not for 47 points from Monk..we're 0/3. This team is extremely talented..but just not very good. I see at least 5 more losses all on the road. Just not smart, very inexperienced, bad rebounding, bad outside shooting for the most part, poor free throw shooting, and dreadful defense. Yeah, the refs **** on us a good part of the 2ND half..but this shouldn't even been close enough for the refs to effect the game if you look at the talent on both teams. We're just not a good team.

Cal can be a complete idiot at the worst times. The ONLY guy who was hitting outside shots sat the bench for the end of the game. Don't even try the "bad defense" crap because that's total ********.
I wish Cal was the coach he was at UMass. His coaching leaves a lot to be desired a lot of times anymore. He literally makes no sense at times.

We are NOT a good defensive team, regardless of Kenpom. We also don't know how to play good half court offense. This is a coaching issue. Note to Cal, running as fast as possible isn't better than developing a solid half court offense. I'm still not sold on how Cal builds a team. UL is terrible this year, we aren't good. I can only hope Camp Cal changes things.
You are correct.

I want to comment, but I am signing off. The idiot UK Fans are taking over after a tough road loss to a top 10 team. Their best guard had a great game, and our best scorer had his worst game of the year. Our freshmen made freshmen mistakes. We will be fine, stay calm, and stay POSITIVE

Maybe Cal needs to worry more about coaching up his players than out promoting a book. These players have not improved one bit since the beginning of the season. not very many times do the players have their hands up when guarding outside shooters. The switch everything defense only works when you have players that can do it. This team can't. It also teaches them not to fight through screens. Our guards shy away from contact when being screened. To much hero ball and bad shot selection. All of this is coaching. I like Cal but sometimes his coaching leaves a little to be desired. UL played better and deserves the win. Our guys need to learn this isn't AAU ball anymore.

Of course they are gonna be on here like that. It's the scenario closest to the energy they have in their real lives.

There are more drama queens on this board than anywhere in the world. OMG get a grip.... we lost by 3 points to a Top 10 team on their home court with Monk having a terrible shooting night and we miss like 8 FT's in the last 5 minutes. Cal is 8-2 against UL.. WTF do you crybabies expect? Are you in grade school? Dumbest fan base in America sometimes. Grow up...
