I watch nearly every Cal game they are great on defense and are lost on offense like most all Cuonzo's teams...They also have 1 good win but I agree they are in and will probably be out first round again...he has too much talent on his teams for them to be this mediocre

Maybe someone should start a petition. That seems to get his teams to play better

Bold prediction time.

We'll make the NCAAT....OR.....we won't.

Shocking I know, but roll with it.

So our RPI will be in the 50s after tomorrow regardless. Definitely need the win, but it seems very anticlimactic even if we dominate. Either way I'll be happy. Don't take wins for granted

Didn't have this one down, but Akron had an outside shot of getting an at large if they won out to their conference championship game, but they just lost to Kent State so that's now off the table.

Cuonzo needs to hire a really strong offensive minded assistant...Cal looked good until Moore and Rabb got into 1st half foul trouble and then they looked lost on offense..they were up 11 and are now trailing 38-34 at the half. They are 10th out of 12 teams in scoring in the PAC-12..also we didn't miss anything when Okorah went west with Cuonzo

Cal down 13 with under 7 to go..they still have Oregon at home and Utah and Colorado on the road..only sure win is Oregon State who will still hurt their RPI as they are 3-23 and have a 298 RPI..so it could get interesting

I was thinking the same thing. Terrible player in every aspect.

Cal loses 73-68 not a bad loss but certainly doesn't help as some of the brackets had them as a 10 or 11 seed Stanford has a 75 RPI even though they were 11-13

Most of his last class at UT have not worked out. He knew when to leave and except for Josh Richardson he left the cupboard bare.

Okorah isn't doing much. But he's doing more than the rest of that 5 man class.

Cornish and Austin are sitting out after transferring.
Cofer has seen his minutes evaporate.
Turman got booted.

To go 2-2 Cal has to either beat Oregon at home and win one of two at Utah and Colorado or both if they lose at home to Oregon those aren't givens

Yup, that's why I disagreed when Bruin said not worth paying attention to. Zo rarely does things the easy way so I figured a loss they shouldn't have was upcoming.

Ok so it's worth following.

Why is a team needing to go 2-2 to have an rpi inside the top 50 with zero big wins still on top of your list with teams under them needing to go 2-3 and already have big wins?


Seems like they should be behind them if we really think they are in any kid of trouble when other trams have less work to do.

Cal's schedule is pretty soft if you compare it to some of those teams, with that said, there's an opportunity in some games today for some of those teams behind them to pass them IMO.

And when did their win @ USC fall off their resume?

I am not willing to call a win outside of the top 25 a big win. It's a decent win for sure

I was sure USC would fall apart when league play started but they have played pretty well...I think they lose their next two at UCLA and Arizona and then win out so they should finish 24-7 and 11-7 in the league
