Don't look now, but Arkansas is averaging 69 ppg through their first three games.

[BlueSince92]

Their starting shooting guard is currently 0% from three with over 100 minutes played. Not ideal but if he was someone who was elite at attacking and getting to the line it'd maybe be salvageable. Not the case as he's only got 1 total attempt.

Hard for a team to score points when that's what you're working with

Cal is the king of tearing players down and not building them back up.

Cal & Arkansas lives in your heads Rent Free! Meanwhile we have a team that could possibly make a FF Run!

 

[CastleRubric]

As someone mentioned earlier i can totally understand the UK fan making comparisons to the long standing coach we lost (to a conference foe and old school rival) & the UK staff/team we currently have

Its a legitimate point of reference and ongoing stream of data that relates to some pretty big off season decisions

I don't think ppl will remain as fixated after this season - but the sideways glances at Arkansas as this season unfolds is totally understandable IMO

“Home run hire”

"For Kentucky" is the obvious punchline

I feel like John Wall lobbing one up to Demarcus right now.

 

[TankedCat]

looks like Cal sees trouble on the horizon and is looking to turn Big Z loose as opposed to his "he isn't shooting 3's this season" to fend off the wolves at his door

Okay let me try this....They aren't robots and they are built for March.

Did I say it right?

Not sure...was it delivered w/ a smug little smirk?

 

[kywildcat41086]

And soem guys on this board wanted him back. Unreal. That Arkansas team loses by 20-30 to Duke last night.

That's exactly what I keep talking and telling these guys at work.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

Why is nobody showing up to the games?

That's not normally the way it is in Arkansas. What the ****?

I mean they got their new coach and all the five star players and nobody's there?

I'm puzzled on this one.
Strange.

Does seem like it's too early for Cal to have already sapped the life-blood from the program? Took a good 6/7 yrs for him to suck all the passion from BBN...guess we're of heartier stock

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

The same, less that exciting, style of play. He said he wasn’t changing and he didn’t lie. Thank you Arkansas.

I can’t believe Wagner is so invisible on the court. I know he’s better than he’s playing now. Cal is ruining that poor kid. Obviously he was over rated. And a little small considered his game relies on driving and not overly athletic but I know he can be better than he has been. He is invisible for them.

I have never been a Wagner fan........he has a A list name and a C list game..........

Come on man, he must be great. He started ahead of two NBA first rounders!

 

[ukfan1622]

If they played any team remotely decent, like a top 75 style team they would have lost. Troy could barely hold onto the ball, Let alone run any offense for a good look. They scored on open layups and dunks the whole game and couldn’t shoot a lick.

Yeah, I watched part of the 1st half; Troy didn't look any better than the teams we playing in our exhibitions games.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Cal is basically Kenny Payne at Louisville with slightly better athletes.

 

[Creed Bratton]

Not sure...was it delivered w/ a smug little smirk?

Yes I had a very smug and arrogant tone to my post but I did forget to say "How about this" before I said the rest. My apologies, I'm not pooping ice cream yet.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

to be fair, that was before the game, within a few minutes the arena when the camera's panned around while the game was going I'd say it was 80% filled.

But with that level of talent in the coaches first year , that place should be packed unless they've already been brainwashed that the regular season doesnt matter, only march lol

 

[Bkocats]

That's exactly what I keep talking and telling these guys at work.

Heck even the Duke fans are saying it
