That honestly makes some sense. No excuse for the returning guys, but thought these freshmen might be up in the clouds a little after the Bahamas, bug blue madness, etc..

A loss might have been a blessing but not this one. You don't play as thoroughly bad as tonight and take positives from it. This was one of the more humiliating losses I've seen. The only times we've matched that was when we had teams that were not NCAA field of 64 capable. This team should have been a #1 seed. Being this non-competitive is unacceptable. And as many others stated this will hurt Cal for years to come.

It's game one. One. There are 39 to go. Stop acting like this **** is over after 40 minutes of basketball. We played poorly. Duke played out of their minds and hit 10+ 3s. Let's realize it is a long season and anything can happen.

I’m not sure Duke “played out of their minds.” I think they just have really good players. Better players than ours.

Only thing stopping Duke is divine intervention. And from what I see tonight? God is a Blue Devils fan.

I love literally never seeing you post all summer, then knowing that I could count on seeing your dumb avatar the first time something bad happens with UK.

Check the football board clueless. Stop stalking me as well son.

Oh and I keep my avatar just to piss you off. Haha

They aren't hitting 30 points worth of 3 pointers on the regular. Do that and it is hard for any opposing team to win.

Yes, they are very good, but when you shoot that well and the basket feels like it is a laundry basket then it can compound things.

Nah. They’re clearly the better team, but good lord, when a college team puts up 120 points they played out of their minds.

They might have played their “A game”, but to me that’s not playing out of your mind. Barrett is unreal, Zion is Zion, Reddish is legit too.

I don't stalk you, you're just a very noticeably terrible poster who I wish (or at least admitted) they were a fan of a different team. Son.

Yep. They aren’t going to lose a game. We completely **** the bed and choked on applesauce in 2015 and now they’re looking like they will steamroll everyone to a 40-0 season.

If they play like that every game? I don’t see it out of reach. And that will make me sick for life.

We’re gonna find out early which kids take this personal.

And in now way can they get overconfident for the rest of the season.

We already know the answer. Nobody takes it personal. That played with no effort in the first half. They came out in the second half and played with even less, if that's possible. They quit, plain and simple. This was just another AAU game to them.

34pt beatdowns are never a blessing..Cal needs to give Hagans 30mpg and stop the 3 pg deal..Hope Hagans is ok by march..Cut the rotation to 7 and play...

You think you’re so clever and then go straight to the lame troll, not a fan gig. Listen son, go pick a fight with someone else. That’s why you’re here isn’t it? You NEVER talk sports. You just stalk people and argue. Grow up son. It’s boring.

This has been one of the worst nights of my life and I don't see it getting
better in the near future. I hope I am wrong.

Listen son, I don't have the word "Kid" in my username. Truth be told, I assume you are a fan, just a terrible one.

And I never talk about sports? Are you stalking my posts? Prett creepy, son. Although you're wrong about that. I usually don't argue that much either, unlike you as is evidenced by our post to likes ratio.

Before you tell something else to grow up, son, change your username to something else that doesn't imply you're a child, and work on not having emotional outbursts akin to that of a 6th grade girl.
