He's still gotta make up for 09/10 year imo.
I still cant believe a team of Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Patterson, Miller, Liggins, Orton, Dodson (only one not a pro) loses in the elite 8 to f*cking West Virginia. That was easily the most talented/best team that year. I'd take that squad over the 11/12 team that won. A number of great coaches would have closed the deal that year (not saying Cal isnt great....but he failed the team that year)
Coach Ricky Pitino with Peyton f*cking Siva as his PG just won the championship.
If he loses next years championship with Randle, Harrison Twins, Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee, James Young ADDED to returning players in Poythress, Wiltjer(sp) and most importanly Willie Caulie Stein. (And lets not forget they still might get Wiggins...)
....then the Cal would be looked at as the most overrated coach in the history of college basketball.
They will be the college version of the Miami Heat, especially if Wiggins joins them. Difference is...they have just 1 year to do it..

That team lacked the shooter that Meeks would've given them. He tried to convince Meeks to come back but he didn't want to play for his third coach. Don't see how you necessarily put that on Cal.

You're fricking stupid if you believe this.

Like every year for Cal, it's still going to be ridiculously difficult to get 8 or 9 guys to play as a team when they were recruited under the promise of playing in the NBA after one year.

How many 1st rounders with UK have next year? Lets say they sign Wiggins..
1. Andrew Wiggins (Number 1 overall)
2. Julius Randle (Top 10 talent)
3. Andrew Harrison (Lottery Talent)
4. Aaron Harrison (Lottery Talent)
5. Willie Cauley-Stein (Was projected top 10 this year)
6. Dakhari Johnson (#1 Center this year and top post players always get drafted high)
7. Alex Poythress (Another year of college puts him on fringe of 1st round IMO)
And then you have James Young and Marcus Lee who are kind of overlooked in this class but both are perennial top 20 recruits and definitely have one and done first round potential. That's 9 possible first rounders with 6, maybe 7 LOCKS.
Insane. Gonna be fun to watch

Turns out there is a reason they actually play the games out, the best team on paper doesn't always win, especially in a march madness environment

I mean Cal lost with Memphis to Kansas and he had Derrick rose, Joey Dorsey, Chris Douglas Roberts.

Yet, you failed to show UK hit only 2 for 30 from the three point line. WVU hit 10 three pointers. That was the game.
I also seem to recall Louisville losing to Morehead State in the 1st round 3 years ago. Oh, don't act like Pitino does not have burger boys. He wants them, Cal just gets them. Chane, Blackshear, and Siva were McDonald AAs.

They are returning some talent to give them depth.
And of course they are bringing in the #1 player at 4 of the 5 positions on the court in the country and maybe 5/5 if they Wiggins, which they have a legit shot of and who is being called the best prospect since Lebron.
I don't think they'll have much trouble winning

Now all of the sudden a burger boy is not NBA talent?
I know that I am not a math major, but 30 points from the 3 is a much more the 6 points. WVU was rediculous that night hitting 3 pointers while Bledsoe and Wall were clanking them. Huggins saw how shitty we were shooting and went on shutting a lock down on Cousins and the paint.
We can argue all we want, but a bad night of shooting will get you bounced from the dance.
And what is funny, UL fans were calling for Ricks head last year after getting beat by UK. The base was sick if the 10 loss seasons and not getting past the first weekend of the dance. UL got on a roll since mid season last year and been going since.
