The play that Ky ran to tie it up at 73 all looked like the same play that Kansas ran in 2008 to tie us up and go into overtime.

Yep

Ahhhhh yes... the "wrinkle" added to Cal's playbook. Not bad, it worked. Could this play be the new norm?

Ronald McDonald called Cal after the game and wanted his All-Americans back.

This wasn't the same officiating crew that called three quick bull crap fouls agains Penny Hardaway in Kansas City was it? Oh? How we forget sometimes? Huh??

That's just one example.

Blame Cal all you want. The players he "stole" from us signed or committed because of Cal not because they wanted a degree from UofM.

When did we go to 3 straight E8s?

06, 07, and 08

Can find no official records of it happening.

Wasnt one of those the year none of x's players got to count a game due to cheating ?

How come Roy Williams didn't foul up 3?

I am convinced that Cal is one of the greatest recruiters in NCAA history. I am also convinced that Cal has not/will not/cannot improve his X's and O's. If he hasn't improved by now, when would he have improved?

He hired one of the best recruiters in the world. Couldn't even do that before WWW came along.

Refresh my memory. Was WWW with Cal at UMass when he took a down trodden program to F4?

This should refresh your memory

How come Mike White didn't foul when he was up 3 vs Wisconsin ?

Pastner? Cal has a championship and goes on nice runs in the tournament every now and then.

Last 12 seasons:

Elite 8
Elite 8
National Runner Up
Sweet 16
Elite 8
Final Four
National Champions
NIT
National Runner Up
Final Four
Second Round
Elite 8

That is three national title games and nine Elite 8 or better in last 12 years.

(03-26-2017 10:17 PM)Crazier Wrote:  Granted any other coach would probably have 3 championships with the talent he gets.

In that same 12 years, Coach K has won two NC's. Also been knocked out in the 1st weekend 5 of last 12 years.

He's been to Elite 8 or beyond three of last 12 years. Duke hasn't "played to seed" eight of the last 12 years in the NCAA.

How come Mark Few didn't foul when he was up 3 vs West Virginia ?

Wikipedia is more reliable than the NYTs. In this article they still goes with the misinformation that someone else took Rose's test. A claim which has never been proven and the NCAA admits it could not prove.

I just love how a few posters here complain about the NCAA and then in turn use the "vacated" excuse just to trash Cal. Keep up the good work lol

Vernon and others have posted this clip on Twitter. The audio is great.

The tank-top guy is flipping the double-bird at the NC guy as he misses the free throw.

Crowd goes from delirium to silence in about 6 seconds.
