That’s the one possible issue I’ve noticed - not forcing enough turnovers. Hoping that’s a button we can push toward tournament time with guys like Butler and Oweh.

We have done a good job of challenging shots, but sometimes you can get burnt in the tournament by a hot team just shooting over you. Nice to have that extra card to play of forcing turnovers.
I’d actually rather be more of a disciplined defense rather than a gambling defense. I believe we can be good enough in the half court that gambling isn’t required so much to kickstart our offense.

Lots of bitter people out there

Some of the Cal first fans have had their worldview shattered, you can tell who they are around here.
They were just waiting (and hoping) for a rough start to the season so they could say “told you so” . Hasn’t worked out that way.They’re probably miserable. I’m sure they will shower up when we lose our first game .

Brea now 15 of 19 from 3 pt range

Yeah and went 2 of 3 from three after that.
Keep trying.
Dude was 2 of 4 from 3 v the top defensive team in America. What do you think he is going to do v all these over rated football schools, as UK continues to gel and perform in the new Pope system?
Exactly.
You're not following what I'm saying and I'm not "trying" anything.
Not sure what your deal is here, but the facts are right there in front of you, our numbers against Duke are much different than they are against the mid majors.
Power 5 teams have biger, faster, better players and they are going to guard us tougher on the perimeter.
That doesn't mean I'm UK hating (weird stretch by you), it means I'm stating something that is obvious and true. Brea isn't going to shoot 75% the entire season. Again, I'm not "trying" anything and I'm not crapping on the Cats.
Take a break man.

POLITICAL THREAD

When programmed people label me as a conspiracy theorist, I take that as a yuuuuge compliment.

And once AGAIN, you totally dodge the question. Which one is more likely? Anonymous sources and smear campaign or proven evidence in a court of law? Clearly it is anonymous sources and a smear campaign and you have no problem spreading libelous claims trying to destroy a person. But we already know your a far-leftist.

Did anyone else see the jackson st player trying to stop Garrison with his shoe?

Not really what I saw live. Why he threw his shoe I’m not sure, but he threw it low and wide of Garrison., to me just getting it on the sidelines… Garrisons reaction was because he ran into him after the play. Not everything is as it appears……IMO
If he wanted it off the court he could have thrown it in any other direction, NOT directly into the direction of play. For example, he could have thrown it toward his bench. He carried it with him down the court and threw it toward players rather than away from them. It was intentional and dangerous.

The four factors this is where we rank on defense:

effective FG% = 41.7% (22nd)
turnover% = 14.7 (293rd)
Rebounding% = 23.8 (35th)
FGA/FTA = 18.7 (5th)

Only thing we don't do well on defense is force turnovers. We have a very good defense at least through 5 games.
