Cal’s post game

I don’t want to hear him say how other teams shoot out of their minds, blah blah blah.
We got beat off dribble entire game. Our bigs are literally letting guards dribble right down the lane and shoot lay up after lay up after lay up right in their face.
We didnt look ready to play at all. How can that be?
How can we look so good at Auburn and at Tennessee and then look like this.
Disgusting and totally unacceptable.

Big Ask: A More Positive Approach

Winning matters, yes. But the complaining about the season and recapping losses and calling for a Win-It-All-or-Kick-Rocks ultimatum immediately after a massive win is exhausting. It’s across every post, no matter the topic of the post- impossible to avoid.

I know everyone on here cares about UK and wants them to win, or else they wouldn’t be paying for this board. But, we need to recognize it ultimately is just a game (and one that has no actual impact on most of our lives) and that maybe, just maybe, being more positive, even when difficult, would make everyone’s life better.

(And I’m sure this post will be met with plenty of disagreement, and that’s fine- I know what I’m getting into by posting this.)

Won’t start lottery picks!

I know it’s discussed a ton. But what coach in America doesn’t start his 2 best players and which happen to be 2 lottery picks??? How do you defend Cal when his starters give the other team a lead before Dilly and Shep come in? It happens almost every game and it finally bite him in the ass. He won’t even start them in the second half!

For all the love this team gets from the fanbase…

they’ve provided a bunch of embarrassments this year. Yeah I know a lot of it is on Cal, but:

-4 losses at Rupp
-Headed towards another double digit loss season
-failed to win the SEC regular season or tournament title
-swept by a borderline NIT team (A&M)

Could list a few more but those are the first few that came to mind.

Oh and for all the ‘talent’ we have, our bigs are awful. We have exactly three players you know what you’re going to get on a given night. Everyone else could easily be unplayably bad and it wouldn’t come as the least bit surprising.

Just not an acceptable season for UK standards.

Losses happen

Every reasonable person understands you can't win every game. But the way we lose is what pisses me off. Besides when we took the 1 point lead, at no point in the game did it feel like we were going to turn things around. This is what defines the majority of Cals tourney losses. It's usually in the first few minutes you have that "feeling" we wont be able to overcome. This game just foreshadows the impending doom heading our way.

We made

Too many turnovers. Our guards are still getting pushed backed when teams double the high on the ball screen. We need to be doing that to other teams..Those live ball turnovers are lethal. This killed us in nearly loss we have this year. Wagner was not very good, Reed has got to step up and step through those doubles and shoot those pull ups off the dribble. He disappeared in the second half. With the bs fouls on Reeves we we were severly hampered on offense. Leading Rob to have to do too much with ball. Adou has got to use his slide step to finish in the lane. Our guards cannot guard in the ball too far away from the basket. We got beat by senior guards abusing our freshman guards. We did nothing to take ball out of their hands, meanwhile, seemed like we had Z catching an awkward pass 30 feet from the basket too often From their doubling the ball.
