Because of personnel, Cal was forced to play Washington at the 5 most of the season when he’s a 4. Vanderbilt would’ve been the 5 if he hadn’t gotten hurt the majority of the season and right before the tournament.
The only choke jobs with Cal I consider are 2015 and 2022. 2016, 2018, and 2023 were flawed teams that were exposed and had no business for going on a run (2016 had probably the best backcourt Cal’s had at UK but they had no legitimate guy who could play the 5 and were forced to play guys who are really meant to play the 4 instead of the 5 because Labissierre was awful). 2010, 2017, and 2019 met really unfortunate endings in the worst ways (4/32 from 3 vs WVU, Luke Maye, and Auburn slaying blue bloods left and right and winning in OT after UK missed 3 put back attempts in the last minute). 2011 and 2014 were to Kemba and a Cinderella run coming to an end.
