Some stats presented without comment

  • Back to back games averaging 20 3PAs or less
  • Edwards played only 14 minutes today, lowest of anyone on the team who got in.
  • Bradshaw played the third most minutes today (29).
  • Three point rate was down to 28.9% today which would rank near the bottom of college basketball on the season. Our season average before today was about 40%, which would be in the top half of college basketball.

Has Cal really reverted back to rock fights since Bradshaw came back?

I've seen a lot of people here claim is Cal reverting to getting back into rock fights. So what does the actual data say?

Pre-Bradshaw UK was 61st in the country in tempo and 3rd in offensive efficiency. Since Bradshaw has started to play the tempo ranking has actually increased by quite a bit. UK is now 35th in tempo and 13th in offensive efficiency. Most of the offensive efficiency decrease can be attributed to the overall awful performance against UNCW. Offensive efficiency will also decrease a bit as Dilly and Reed's 3P% come back down to earth. Reed was shooting over 60% on the year at one point, which just isn't sustainable. So the offense has gotten a little less efficient, due to a few factors, but the tempo has increased by a good bit.

So the rock fight narrative doesn't seem to be accurate. We're actually playing faster now than we were before Bradshaw.

57 and 36

63% winning % this decade for cal. Worst since 1910. It’s mid decade now and nothing has changed. Barney needs to go tomorrow. Football with the whole stoops trying to run like hell outta Lexington. Cal constantly losing. We look like a joke: the man responsible who is given mulligan after mulligan has to go. There’s no ifs ands or buts. I have no confidence in this guy to make anymore judgements on hiring or contracts. The cal experiment is over. We could lose first round. The problem is we can’t wait any longer on Barney bc cal will have to be dealt with in March. The statistics for this decade are staggering. To get us to UK standard winning % for the decade the man would basically have to have 4 loss seasons from here out.
