Probably. He's not very good.

If you saw some of his texts that leaked, he apparently had serious mental health issues.

As an opposing fan, I couldn’t stand his antics. I wonder if they started to wear on his teammates too.

We always think of those guys as being “guys you love on your team but hate to play against”. I don’t think that’s always true. I bet plenty of TCU fans and probably players get annoyed with his act.

Down 10 to Vanderbilt. I’m sure cal will get it together

Pablo · 03-10-2023, 10:46 PM

Lol missed them both

KC_Connection · 03-10-2023, 10:47 PM

Losing to Vanderbilt twice in a week in basketball is sure something.

Considering they’re playing a PG who missed the last week, have no backup PG, and are forced to play a guard who has a fractured rib, I’m not sure what to expect right now.

And Vanderbilt has won 11 of their last 12.

Some teams don't make excuses and are able to win games even with injuries to their best players (see the B12 SF). Other teams lose to Vandy.

They're ranked 80 in KenPom, between Kent State and Virginia Tech and 20 spots below any team in the B12.

Is that better or worse than Top 10 Baylor losing to Iowa State twice in less than a week? Top 10 Baylor lost to Iowa State three times in one season.

But then Iowa State gets swept by Oklahoma State lol

I want you to ask yourself this question and answer it seriously:

If a team is forced to play a player with a fractured rib at PG, because the two other players who play PG are hurt, would you expect that team to play well?

Well ISU is actually good (#23 in KenPom), so there's a distinction there.

They picked up a Quad 1 road win against Arkansas last week doing that without Wallace or Wheeler playing.

I did not expect that and literally have 0 hope for next week barring Wallace and Wheeler being healthy.

Some teams do, most don’t. It’s pretty common for schools to role 7-8 deep. And it depends on the position of the injury and if they have the depth to recover that position.

If you only have one true PG or C, and one of them gets hurt it could be a pretty big problem.

Kentucky has two true PGs....both of which are hurt currently.
