One thing I have noticed about this team.

[Westtncat]

Many of Cals teams have out classed their opponents but this team has killer instinct. They dont play half a game and let up like a lot of past teams have. They seem pretty consistent. I can remember running teams out of the gym only to be outscored by them in the second half. I really like the way this team plays hard, start to finish. This is a good thing going forward.

I think this is because they've got so much potential defensively.

Teams who have a killer instinct usually guard like crazy. You always break the other team's will on the defensive end. Where this team can win championships is in how it can make it so difficult for the other team to operate on the offensive end. Briscoe and Fox out at the top are like crazed dogs.

Agree. I just hope Cal doesn't put the brakes on, and lets them run.

I think he will just let this team play. Defense and athleticism are going to be the strong points. It's obvious that the half court offense is a little behind. But having guys like Fox and Briscoe that get to the basket at will can offset that. The best part to me is that when the offense gets better, and it will. This team then becomes really scary.

A good defense can always bail out your offense. This team is ahead of the curve defensively and will only get better. The offense will come around. Love our guard play but we need the inside game to step up. It looked better against Dusquesne.

When we play teams like UCLA, North and South Carolina to name a few to see how we play against them. Since their record is close to ours right now.

Care to elaborate?

[Blue Heaven]

SOUTH CAROLINA? How about Louisville and Kansas? A lot of teams are close to our record. That doesn't mean they are a solid opponent.

[KevinHall]

Every 4-0 team in the country is sensational. I mean if they are undefeated they have to be good. Right?

[Owllycat]

UCLA we lost to last season, North and South Carolina we have beat them anywhere from 10-20 points and want to see if we can do better. So no im not saying every 4-0+ teams are unbeatable. I could be wrong when I say that almost everytime we play them they was a hard opponent to play against.

Yes every team is the same every season. Same players,same coaches same everything. We should judge everyone we play by how we did against them last year. Yes that is good safe betting.

Again not what im saying at all. Im saying I want to see how we do this season against them. I was simply putting information in that to explain why I said what I did. In like other threads I have said past means nothing of how we done against a team that will be the same outcome, its just information.

Just what are you really saying? Simply spit it out in plain english so we can understand what you're saying.
