Arkansas and Illinois

Oddly satisfying (not really as it's immensely satisfying) to see the Illini best down the Hogs with Coach Antigua on the bench smiling.

Even better to see the Illinois coach talking to Cal and Cal having a sour look on his face, dying to get away from him. Frkn priceless.
And on the post game interview the Illinois coach says “we just play modern day basketball “ . lol
 
I watched every second of this game and literally, if you didn't, it's more intolerable than you could ever imagine.

This is a typical Cal team with one of the least-talented teams Cal would've had in his 15 years.

THANK YOU Cal for not subjecting fans to this team. This board would've been jumping off a bridge before December.
 
Dear Arkansas Athletic Department:

On behalf of the entire Big Blue Nation, I just have one thing to say about your hiring of John Calipari.

Cracking Up Lol GIF


Warmest regards!

Rupp would be a ghost town. Watched the entire game too and Arkansas was cooked from the opening tip.
 
Sh** he’d be unstoppable in a small ball role with pope. He can shoot good enough. When his feet are set he can knock it down. Makes ft’s too
Thiero is NOT in any way shape or form a shooter. If his feet are set he would hit 5/10 threes in an open gym. That’s not called a shooter

Ditto. Warmest regards suckers! I definitely laughed many times watching this game.

Ar-kansas will fight to win 9 games in the SEC.
11 wins would be a miracle but 5 to 9 wins is more likely.
 
How did all the services miss on wagner by so much? Wasn’t he top 5-10 since he was a freshman?
This is a good question. Started almost every game as a freshman at UK while 2 NBA lottery picks sat the bench. He's started all 7 games at Arkansas as well. Cal has personal ties to him through his dad, Dajuan Wanger, who played for Cal at Memphis. He obviously can't see clearly when it comes to DJ.

That Arkansas offense is the old Kentucky offense when Cal first arrived, and back in 2009 to about 2015, it worked. But things began to change and Cal didn't change with it. He's comfortable with it and must feel more control with that system. He tried changing the last 2 years with John Welch helping him, but he left UK and Welch went back California and the old offense is back.

So, it's the same issues as we all saw under Cal. He has as much or more talent as anyone in college basketball, but he has an antiquated offense that struggles to keep up. I expect the same result for Arkansas as UK has had the last 3 seasons, maybe not as good as last season. They'll win some games but when postseason hits, they'll struggle in big games.
 
It is unreal how cal has never been able to overcome guarding a ball screen.

Isn't it a mind fk? How long has he been "coaching" now and, still, so many deficits? It's like watching the prey run for the woodshed full of sharp tools to hide from the seemingly immortal serial killer. Zone defense... ball screens... inability to hit free throws... so many weapons given as gifts to his opponents.

You gotta wonder what's in the brownies
