It feels good to be on the outside looking in.
Yep. BYU and Cal out. Now the media can’t spin the narrative of how “the others” made it further than pope and Kentucky made a mistake.
Go win tomorrow and let’s solidify it
He insisted on going to his boy Wagner twice. Terrible decision
Where have we seen this before? Cal screaming like a maniac and his team tightening up down the stretch.
"Ok DJ, just hold the ball until 1 second left and then take a turnaround fadeaway"
Cal taking the timeout back to Fayetteville to him
And I ask again, why have Wagner take the shot? Once again, Cal going down because he goes to the wrong guy.
Some things never change. Get a big lead and start choking the clock. No timeout to set up a play. More size and talent but can't X and O 'em up
They chose to play for a coach that gives it to him every chance he can.Yeah I really feel bad for Dj in a wayyou see his teammates begging for the ball because they knew he was likely to throw something else up there
No matter what happens now, Cal and his supporters can't gloat about having a better season than Kentucky. As it stands now, they are out and we are still in it.
Now we just have to beat TN for this to be a damn near perfect first season for Pope.
You may have helped pull that out for them with that last minute jinx action
Timeout and set up a play for Knox? He was 4-4 from 3. Man, I remember that.
He had a guy with an open lane to the basket and didn’t see him or he ignored him
I’m not gonna laugh though.
Unless we win tomorrow
It’s vindication honestly. It took longer than I expected and he gave it a great run but everyone of us knew somewhere in that man is what we saw tonight and they even hit huge shots too.
Still don’t know how they did that. Tech looked and felt like they struggled for every single point.
Felt really familiar.
Glad it's happening to another team now.

I see Cal has forgottten the ending of UK/UNC in ‘17. Mistake there not to call timeout. End up with a Wagner fadeaway.
Another thing, a pet peeve. Why are kids so nonchalant in end of game situations?

And Wagner.........I mean I know going to the rim wasn't helping prior possessions but you have to get to the rim there lol. You can't settle for...........well whatever that was.
I'm not necessarily celebrating, but that honestly perfectly sums up Cal, his coaching and his luck the last entire DECADE.
What a choke job.
I saw they were up 13 with less than 5 minutes left and thought it was over.
Regardless of what happens tomorrow, I am so glad we have Pope for the future
I feel ya but the amount of pressure that is gone now is ridiculous to me. They had this game on lock. Tech couldn’t throw it in the ocean.
He rode his favorite instead of hot hand.
Yall are generational haters of Cal lol. I was rooting for him and feel for DJ especially. Mostly just wanted to see 6 SEC in the Elite 8 but I’ll settle for 5 lol
Get a grip dude.....my goodness
I can't say anything negative about DJ. He isn't an NBA player, but he is certainly a lot better than he was at Kentucky. If he can develop his shot, he will be a very good NBA player.Weep, DJ.
You smiled broadly at Rupp while mocking our fans.
Now you weep deeply.
Which is why that stat of him being 35-0, now 35-1, in the tournament when having a 6+ point lead seemed like a lie to me.
Cal loves dribbling the air out of the ball with a big lead. I don't get it, it kills him every time. Almost pissed our National title in 2012 away because of it. Luckily we had the talent to overcome.
A long two pointer with defense in your face?
One of the worst shots in basketball that all modern offenses actively avoid? Lol
Couldn’t get a stop or rebound when it mattered. We have seen that over and over in big games.
What a horrible play that they drew up for DJ.
Felt like the end of the Wisconsin game when he kept going to Andrew Harrison.
Classic Calipari. He was going to flaunt it in our faces if he had won this game.
Not today, Pittsburgh boy! Not today!
