Don’t read the thread and go enjoy yourself somewhere else. Is that a difficult notion?

I'm not saying the injuries are fake. They very well could be legit. Cal has some kind of problem with his conditioning methods. He can't keep a team healthy. It's plagued him for years and doesn't show any signs of letting up at his next stop. By the time one guy gets healthy, someone else will get hurt. Doesn't help that he refuses to use all of his scholarships. He runs his guys ragged. You'll see.
No, we won’t believe you. You think you have a good team and good coach and that makes you an idiot.
You did say inefficient on purpose. What other d1 team has a roster of 13 with nearly half injured. Keep coming around as the year progresses.
This guy.... LOL , he thinks Cal knows how to guard the three.Ecstatic. The defense is elite. No idea on the offense because we are dealing with an incredible amount of injuries that, IMO, they're holding back on purpose. The next three games are basically who Kentucky has played - sans Duke. My assumption is 1 of 2 things happen: 1) either the inefficiency continues because they're still letting Aidoo/Brazile/Davis get healthy or 2) things really take off because guys are healthy and the quality of the opponent dips tremendously.
Listen, you guys had a great win. No one will argue that. Game of the night, center stage, and you won.
But, Duke was 1/9 on wide open threes in the second half, their best defender got hurt, and a team already dealing with C depth had their C either get hurt or so gassed he had to keep getting subbed out. That backup C for them was God awful. And they had the ball tied with :20 left and shit the bed three times in a row.
I know you guys think what happened to Jaxson is an aberration; but, I can tell you after watching this guy for 4 years now - that's the normal when he plays anyone with athleticism.
I think a team like Arkansas - elite defense in the backcourt - will give you guys fits. Additionally on defense, any time Duke wanted it, all they had to do was post up Jaxson, Brea, Kerr, whomever and go at them defensively. Williams, Butler, and Garrison are elite defenders. But they're awful on offense. Put, Williams/Garrison in a ball screen with your post and secondary ball-handler. The pick and pop will be open 24/7. If Butler hedges on the elbow, kick to the corner three which - because Butler had to run at the pop - should be wide open. Duke didn't have a C who could shoot a ball over 2 feet which was a big plus for Kentucky. If Duke was smart - part of this is on Scheyer; he got schooled by Pope - they should have gone Flagg at the 5 and forced Williams/Garrison onto an island.
One big thing I came away impressed with was Carr. He played very well not only on offense but on defense as well vs Flagg. Yeah, Flagg got his own, but he was never able to really get into a groove and take over.
As always, worst of luck to you all,
And thinks DJ is an elite perimeter defender. Hahaha haha
That's new.
That's new.

It took you guys a late 14-1 run to pull away from Lipscomb. Troy gave you all they could handle for much of the game. Cal lost to Oakland last season, and St. Peters two seasons prior to that. He lost to UNC-Wilmington last season. I get it, you're an inexperienced Cal supporter, but you will learn "they're not needed against this team" is something you might want to be cautious of saying when it comes to a Cal coached team.
It’s been 30 years since Arkansas fans had anything to cheer about, so enjoy this moment before things go south.Ecstatic. The defense is elite.

But, you’re still rusty at analyzing good basketball. Kentucky’s defensive backcourt is much better than Arkansas’.
Keep on posting on Kentucky’s page, we’ll all get a big laugh out of you when the inevitable flameout happens.
This is like being married to someone for years, divorce and the new person in the ex's life has been dating for a couple of months and just can't understand why you let them go. Enjoy him Arkansas, we know a lot more about him about than you do (basketball too, for that matter). I would rather stick my willy in a nest of funnel web spiders than to hear who's injured with no discernible timetable, yelling "go", jackass press conferences when things go well, no shows when they don't, hearing about who got drafted, and just the general malaise and ineptitude. You're happy, God bless you. Will I take some joy every time you lose and the same old lines and excuses come out that we heard the last 5 years? Yeah, I will and it will be with both joy and relief that it's not me anymore.
I don't know if Tyler is all the great individual that we have all kinda pegged him to be.
We're not the only ones that think Cal is not changing. I don't know if anyone else has seen this and I'm sorry if it's already been mentioned or posted. I just though it was interesting.
