Random thoughts.
Cal coming back against Hawaii but if they lose PAC 12 is going to look bad nationally. Certainly going to miss Gary Payton II. I hope these big guys coming in next year have some ability to protect the paint, and Drew Eubanks will learn something during the off season, like anticipating what is about to happen under the basket and move his feet a bit better. Also, a few more offensive moves would help. If he can improve as much as Hamblin did between frosh to soph I will be expecting some good things. Having Tres out there certainly would have helped.
Too many teams in the PAC 12 seem to be upgrading next year with recruiting this year.

you are so right about missing Gary Payton II next year, I don't think people really understand all he did for the team. it will take 3 players to replace him at both ends of the court next season

I think everyone understands what he did for the team. He was not only a statistical leader but an emotional leader as well. It will hurt to lose him but it will open opportunities for others to step up. just like Tres getting hurt opened the door for Stevie and DBruce to shine.
On a side note, I think Derrick Bruce's emergence these last few games will prove huge for this team in the future. He's tenacious and plays with the energy we seem to be lacking at times.
