Now that we've seen 2 games of action + the exhibition vs Chico, what are your record predictions for this season?

The worst Cal team basketball winning percentage was 6-21 (.222) in '78-'79. The worst record this century was 8-24 (.250) under Wyking in '17-'18.

My prediction is we beat UCSD, Southern U, Eastern Washington, UT Arlington, 2 wins vs OSU/Utah, 1 upset win vs another in-conference team. Lose to Texas State, TCU, Butler, Santa Clara, and other in-conference games. So 7-25

---

Seems reasonable.

The UCSD game will be a huge indicator between your 7-25 and 3-29. They beat us when we had a better team last year at Haas. This will be a huge home game for them. They are transitioning to D1. They have the largest student body among UCs and most students applied, but did not get into Cal, so they care, a lot. Small gym. Could be a very hostile first road trip for a young Cal team already prone to turnovers.

Their game tomorrow against Sac State will give us more info.

UCSD sounds like a sand bag game for us, much like when Cal went down to CSUN during the Jason Kidd/Todd Bozeman season which was a fiasco. I believe we won the game but Bozeman accused the events coordinator of a racial slur and I took a swipe at him. The gym at CSUN had a capacity of 1600 at the time.

Did you take a swipe at the events coordinator or at Bozeman?

Haha it is was like 8am when I wrote that. It's coffee time. I actually am familiar with the events coordinator (used to live near CSUN). I would believe him over Bozeman.

Not sure the "students applied to Cal and didn't get in" angle really matters as much anymore. This past year 131,000 students applied to UCSD while 128,000 applied to Cal and over 149,000 applied to UCLA. Cal is a great school, but not sure its as high on the pedestal as some think it is. With my oldest applying this year and college being the topic of discussion amongst all the parents, frankly very surprised how few even want to apply to Cal versus other UCs.

Nearly everyone who applies to Cal and/or UCLA applies to UCSD (and/or Davis) as well. Those who don't think they can get into Cal or UCLA and UCSD is their "stretch school" usually don't get into UCSD.

Wyking set a school record: -16 in a row. At least he will always have that and it will take the jaws of life to extract that from him.

Does that help explain why Theo had seen enough by the time they got to Maui?

Fox already bested Wyking's futility in 2020 by losing 17 conference games. I know that's a Cal record, wouldn't be surprised if it's also a P12 record.

Things have changed - to apply to a UC you fill out one form and then just click a box for each UC.. Easy to apply to all and just take your chances. Despite that, more are applying elsewhere

Without looking at the schedule my immediate reaction was 5 Ws. But honestly, given our terrible shooting and coaching, that may be a bit of a stretch.

Everyone who picks UCLA or UCLA (Or both) also picks additional schools like UCSD as back ups.

Many people who ended up at San Diego State applied to UCSD, but did not apply to Cal.

Many people who ended up at UCSB applied to UCLA but not Cal.

This can be seen by the fact Cal still has the highest qualifications for the entering class among the UCs.
