Checking in on the Arkansas-Georgia game

I used to like watching Theiro play , but now his best move seems to be fly to basket and bulldoze into whoever is in the way , and flail his arms and body and get fouled . Not even a basketball play , just wildly crash into someone.

This is just ugly. These 3's are clanging off rims and this team is as disorganized as a grade school squad. The announcers are selling "small victories" for this team as if these guys aren't making some NIL $$$.

That is an insult to grade school teams, I have seen grade school teams run better offensive sets than the hogs.

Some of us(patting self on back) predicted some of Cal's transfers wouldn't look as good in his offense as at their prior team.

I give you credit on that. I used to defend Cal on this point because players going from inferior teams like Stanford Wake or Illinois St are inevitably going to experience a drop off in scoring - in theory. But watching several players on our team this year, it’s clear that Calipari held the transfers back in his time at UK.

Even my fifth grade girls team runs a five out motion offense

That is what almost every team does anymore. If refs are going to continue to call it then more and more will do it. I told on here the other day about being at a high school girls game and a girl did the same thing. She drove down the right side of the lane, had very little contact and immediately threw her head back like a sniper had just taken her out from the grassy knoll trying to get a foul called.

I think because flopping became so unpopular, we’ve gone the opposite direction where players have no idea how to take a charge, getting their feet set, etc.

I noticed Butler drew one against Nelson where our other players were allowing him to do what he wanted and still got called for the defensive foul.

Has anyone told the players it's unpopular because a lot of teams are still doing it?

Thiero is either dunk or flail his arms trying to draw a foul. He can't hit a shot outside of 2 feet.

CCC has it figured out now with his players. Watch out for a winning streak now.

He actually said that he believes that the players are going to be able to write their own story going forward after the win last night. I think he meant Short Stories.

I am sure Calipari is pleased with the fact that many on this board keep up with his every move. 8 months gone and we still get daily comments on every aspect of the Arkansas life. It seems similar to those type people that keep up with what Prince Harry is doing. Not for me but, to each his own.

I’m also happy for the Arkansas fans that they won, I want to see that little glimmer of hope shine through before the inevitable collapse. And I’m glad others appreciate the updates!

Cal literally just ran floppy all night lol he is so bad as a head coach it’s not even funny.

Nice win and Arky kids played hard to come back, but this one is a little fools gold as UGA really crapped the bed in the last 10 minutes to help it happen. Turning the ball over, missing free throws, fouling eveybody on every trip. A complete 180 from the effort we saw against us. Still just lost on a last second deal. So they will enjoy this for a second but after the charm wheres off getting handed one its back to the struggle again. But they did play harder which I was impressed with.
