Quick stuff (Cal game)...

Yeah D, that's exactly what it's about, and hell, if we swept the rest of the schedule some here would still be riding a disclaimer. Part of growing into a good team is realizing that EVERY game means something, and that there's no such thing as an easy conference game.
Yeah and when you say "EVERY game means something, and that there's no such thing as an easy conference game." that is a MAJOR point! One of, if not the most difficult things to do in NCAA basketball is to beat a team in your conference 3 times in a single season. For a UNC fan like me, I consider it harder for UNC to beat duke 3 times in the same season than winning a natty, manyg duke fans I think would say to beating UNC 3 times in the same season is harder than getting a natty !

The conference teams simply know the other conference teams better than what you can learn from film. Take even little BC, we go to their place and that is not going to often be a "easy" game for us, beating any ACC team on their floor is never an easy thing but there is hate that builds up for conference foes that you rarely see against non-conference foes. There are special circumstances, like both UNC and duke hate Ky, Clemson fans hate the gamecocks (so do we old timer UNC fans), that ACC tourney that the gamecocks last were involved in is something that will never be forgotten or forgiven. When you have history with a team it is just rarely going to be anything short of nail biting!
