We always play better and in march says Kansas and North Carolina Cal says it also but he don’t mean it.

I don't know any of those posters but more power to them for being glass half full lol, I'm too much of a realist to get my hopes up for anything and have a knack for recognizing patterns hence this post.

They are not glass half full types; they are 2 glasses too many types.

You forgot the stage where Cal inexplicably picks a couple of favorites who never sit and also picks 1-2 players playing decently who will now ride the bench. Usually between 3 and 4.

That has happened what 2 times? 2013 team sucked, 2016 team got beat in 2nd rd, 2018 team lost in sweet 16, 2020 no tourney, 2021 COVID year all young teams were horrible even Duke. Last year and 2016 is the only years we get knocked out early.

You are wrong sir we were seeded higher than K St when we lost to them as we were when we lost to Auburn, not to mention the Wisconsin game or the Uconn game. The fact is every loss Cal has in tourney but 1 I believe 2as to a LOWER SEEDED team

Trust the process. Mark it down, we'll beat Kansas handedly this year and optimism will be high. But don't forget what happens after those steps

Bill Self isn’t going to play us the same way. He won’t run this time, unless he thinks he has better horses. And he doesn’t have to worry about our PF making midrange jumpers.

Last years Kansas game is the perfect example of how Cals system works IF he has an all American power forward, and Brooks for the only game in his career here, played like one that day. It opens up the middle , the 3 point shot ,every thing. Unfortunately he hasn't recruited a top flight 4 in years. It was a glaring hole last year and is even worse this year.

Posted this in another thread before, but hilariously still applies:

Step 1: Enter season highly ranked with Final 4 and National Championship aspirations (CHECK)
Step 2: Lose first highly ranked matchup of the season (Usually Duke, Michigan State, this season Gonzaga) and potentially get upset by a non-ranked team (CHECK)
Step 3: Continue to play lifeless basketball through November and early December (YOU ARE HERE)
Step 4: Beat highly ranked opponent in December/January, team is starting to look decent
Step 5: Win some tough games against ranked SEC teams (rarely are the wins against Tennessee), lose some away SEC games to terrible teams, but overall team is looking decent to good for March
Step 6: Enter March Madness with legitimate Final 4 hopes
Step 7: Lose to a lower ranked seed in a game where the offense looks terrible
Step 8: Lose at least half the team to the NBA
Step 9: Repeat!

Truth....sad but it's the truth.

Right on schedule with hope up a tad just in time for a disappointing March.

Rinse and repeat.
