Wait until Arkansas fans get to see Cal laughing it up in the green room at the draft. That's when it'll hit them that UK fans weren't kidding when they saud Cal coaches for the draft, not winning college basketball games.
I watched the whole game. Arkansas played hard imo but they really lack shooters. Offense is archaic. Z played more this game than he has in quite a while and played pretty well.
This version of Davis is not what they payed for. Wagner playing way too many mins off the ball. Fland is the only frosh difference maker. Therio is much better this year and very physical, but if he’s your bell cow then you have issues.
And lastly, perhaps the worst bench coaching wise in any major conference. From Cal, Kenny, Chin, Chuck, Bruiser and Brad. I don’t see much going on good there. That’s a bunch of yes men and nothing more.

Even the SEC analysts at halftime were talking about how they have no idea what Arkansas is doing, or what their identity is.
The talent on the team is swimming against the tide, they would look great in a system that didn't rely on polished streetball.
I really with we were able to keep Thiero.
But yeah, they can't shoot and they take so many dumb step back fade away shots and they don't care about the situation, or the time on the vlock. You can get those shots at any time.
Adou would fill a need for us for certain.
Could you imagine this shit show this year. I honestly think he knew how bad it could get and didn’t want that to happen here. Probably the smartest decision he made in a long time.
There already on their boards saying if he don’t go pro they could see him dropping 25 on them next year cause he would go back to UK lol.
He was acting like Arkansas won the title. Probably in therapy now.
He was definitely overhyped but then again there was no film on him in college. He made some flashy passes and can hit the 3 some but damn I’m not sure who has worse defense Z or Williams.

That's what Fox said in an interview about Calipari. He said Calipari didn't give a damn about winning college basketball games.
He's a grifter
Yeah, but anyone watching that game with a brain knew that both teams looked extremely flawed, and Kansas was missing 2 or 3 starters. I remember saying this exact same shit during the game in a game thread on here, live.
Theiro on Kentucky would be great because he's a good defender.
The game has really changed since he came to UK. Unless you get a Cooper Flagg or AD talent that is a once every five year guy they can't lead you to the title by themselves. NIL and 24 year olds playing against teenagers has changed it all. Cal is done.
You know Goodman is loving posting that.
I think we all owe Goodman an apology. He never hated UK… he just hated Cal, and resented fans who drunk his kool-aid.
Thiero was the only starter in double figures. Yikes!
Cal’s team playing a game at Mizzou was usually a tough ride.

Yeah, I posted that link in another thread yesterday.
The weirdest part about that is Cal tries to act like he wants to win games when he's in interviews, but he obviously tells his players sometjing different.
I'm definitely not making excuses for Cal here, heck, I love seeing him eat shit more than any other UK fan out there, but, they have played a really tough schedule up to this point.
Everyone thought Ole Miss was a bad loss, but it turns out, Ole Miss might be top 5 in the SEC. They lost @ Tennessee, who is a projected 1 seed , Florida, who is a projected 2, @ Mizzou, who just won @ Florida and @ LSU, gave aTm all they wanted last night, with Wade Taylor in College Station.
But, the entire SEC is a gauntlet. If they can get South Carolina at home, maybe they can get a win, but you aren't beating anyone in this league playing street ball and focusing on anything but winning.

So I've always hated these threads about the failures of our ex coaches.....until now. The way Cal demeaned our fan base was just disgusting I watched the Ark/Mizzou game last night and it's astonishing how bad-and poorly coached-Arkansas is. Z and Wagner look as bad as they did last year, and there's not a whiff of any kind of organized game plan on offense or defense. It's possible they won't win a game in the SEC this year. It was so bad, I almost felt sorry for Cal. Almost.
I really havent watched any of their games, but it sounds like the team has taken on the identy of the coach.
I have watched every game of theirs this year. Your assessment is pretty spot on.
1. They CAN NOT SHOOT
2. Do not run an offense, literally, NO OFFENSE
3. Their coaching (if you even want to call it that) is abysmal
I am a huge Cal fan, but I am extremely grateful to have Mark Pope coaching our team instead of the absolute sh!t show he has put together in Arkansas
Yeah we were so desperate to get a big man that just wasn’t all athleticism or just back to the basket so us hyping him up was understandable. Plus his debut was incredible.
But he seems soft . It doesn’t help that Cal doesn’t utilize him much still . I’ll be shocked if he returns to Arkansas next year .
His constant Greenberg attacks is shocking to me. How often do you see talking heads troll each other publicly with malice? We live in wild times
Your reading comprehension is worse than mine in kindergarten. That's not what I said. And everyone liking it is just as dumb.
Their OOC was a joke. Their SEC schedule is hard just like everyone's. Their SOS is #35, ours is #9.
