Not worried. As I've said repeatedly, this is a weird year, and you can point to 3 or 4 things that argued we'd get off to a slower start than even is normal for his young teams. I'm not surprised by what I've seen, and, since Calipari has done it repeatedly, I expect we'll be humming sometime in the January/February timeframe, and will be one of the favorites come tournament time.
There is a caveat. There is one thing I'm seeing that bothers me. It's not the 3 point shooting. Although I surely wish Cal would figure that riddle out and we wouldn't have this deal annually. No, the thing that gives me pause is the point guard position. Mintz looks better right now - but then he should, he's a senior. He doesn't have the look of a 1 to me. He's combo guard. Askew looks overwhelmed and overmatched. Now, he's super young, and Cal has a way with guards, so maybe I'm singing a different tune in a few weeks. I hope so.
