Own your fandom *******.

REALLY? So no regrets in the fact that even after JW quit on his team, coach and city, that the current Tiger squad still should have been expected to hit the NCAA tourney in stride? Still extreme talent and top level recruits.

40 point blowouts to mid level average teams and allowing a 12 point lead with 7 minutes to go and being out scored, out played, and out hustled down the stretch, not to mention allowing an 18-2 run with no game plan or strategy, isn’t completely frustrating even to the most ardent fans, and is okay?

WOW! Maybe you would be happy following the team to postseason CBI or CIT, said you’ll proudly be there. Guess mediocrity is good from your seat, we’ve experienced enough of that with Pastner and Tubby to last a lifetime.

Tiger fans should expect more, if you’re okay with the way things are going, guess you’ve lost your competitive edge, or never had one.

Own your mediocrity*******

I remember a team in 2008 losing a game when they were ahead by 9 with under 3 minutes to play. It happens.

You are correct Sir.....Cal is a great recruiter, like many others, but just an awful floor coach. Otherwise, with the talented teams he has had at UMass, Memphis & KY, should have multiple championships. Do you see the point here?

Did you just compare losing to Kansas (the second best team in the nation that year), to losing to a mediocre SMU team at home?

We can play in/on the CBI, NIT, CBS, WLMT, KNO, ESPN, 1,2,3 or Deportes *******. Grow up some of you sniffling little fan boy wimps.

Be a real fan.

Disgusting. Shame on you.

There's a lot of basketball to play.

You guys seem to forget that you can go on a winning streak just like you can a losing streak.

Go Tigers Go!

True. And, a fair statement.

That said, unless something changes dramatically (and quick), this team isn't going to the big dance.
