It was still major coaching malpractice to lose to a bunch of unathletic honkies with a miniscule fraction of the talent Cal had at his disposal. Will forever be known as the game that broke Cal.
The SEC is shaping up to be a tough Conference

I wouldnt call Sam Decker unathletic. That Wisonsin team was pretty good.
He was a decent athlete. Yes, Wisconsin was good and they were particularly well coached and knew how to play basketball and win with sound fundamentals.
Meh, they werent that tough. Duke beat them twice that year! 🤣
Kinda funny how that can work out.
Duke lost twice to ND in 2015. Yet UK beat ND in the Elite 8. Duke beat Wisc twice, yet UK lost to Wisc in FF.
Go figure.
Yep. You never know. I always laugh when someone says Team A would kill team B. On paper yes, but you just never really know. I've lost enough bets this year by 20 point favorites losing straight up to know that here are no guarantees.
I mean Auburn lost to kentucky by 32 in 2019 with our only nba player playing. Then beat UK with our only nba player not playing in the elite 8.
If I recall correctly, UK also won at Auburn in the reg season that year, so going into the Elite 8 were 2-0 against Auburn.
Would've been 3-0 if PJ Washington could hit FTs in the NCAAT. Dude lost us two NCAAT games (Kstate and auburn) clanking FTs. TBF, we probably aren't even in those games if it weren't for PJ though.
That Vandy team was damn good, but then they didn't even get out of the first weekend in the NCAAT.
They ended up with 11 losses, which blows my mind, they were tough to beat. I think they really got hyped to play UK, Kevin Stallings was like that. He hated UK.
