First time ive ever seen 1 player almost lose

[whhs22]

A game for a team. Murray started trying to get his when we had a 14 point lead. From there it became a close game.

The kid has to shoot. But there was no reason for him to try to take over with a 14 point lead unless he was trying to pat his stats. Bash away , but honestly that kid put us in a bad position

 

[Mojocat]

He was a non factor in the first half, so I thought he'd play very well in the second. Wrong. He wasn't a nonfactor, he was a huge factor - in Louisville's favor.

 

[kyboy1998]

Really? Do you watch much basketball?

The are countless times one guy shoots a team out of a game or try's too hard and creates too many turnovers.

Hell, look at guys like Kobe. When they arent single handily winning games, they are single handily losing them.

 

[DS849]

We WON!!!!

 

[bigc45157]

But, he didn't...

 

[wild mandu]

Outside of Ben Simmons, '15 was just a weak class.

 

[CatDaddy4daWin]

Murray is a dang train wreck...I've never seen a player make so many stupid decisions. He literally acts like he's playing horse at the park.

 

[lwbb]

We WON!!!!

YES WE WON!!!!!

 

[AirRaidFan]

Murray had the green light. Cal was rightfully hoping for a OSU second half. We won.

The End

Come on troll, there's salve for that chapped ass.

 

[ala_kat2]

Murray plays like it's High School competition. He tries to drive through 3 players and it doesn't work like it did in HS. Sadly, we have no inside game, and are counting on long contested threes stay in games. Murray needs better ball control and shot selection.

 

[caneintally]

we won and while Murray made errors he also made 2 huge 3's . So I will take it .

 

[screwduke]

Terrible thread

 

[Aike]

Lol. Murray made mistakes but we don't win without him either. We just don't. He helped with the press break and hit a couple big shots.

 

[loublue22]

it was more about our inability to stop them defensively, we got maybe 3 stops including the last play in the final 10 minutes

 

[kycatw\claws]

LOL all the points they scored off his turnovers dwarfed his couple of 3s, dude was a clown out there today.

But it's the guy that keeps forcing him out there's fault.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Murray is so easy to fix you guys kill me. Just tell him he either catches it and shoots or he gives it up. That's all Cal has to do. Murray is playing his ass off on defense and hustling. Just that one tweak to his game and he is good to go.

Repeat after me: SHOOT IT OR PASS IT BACK.

 

[crawfords corner]

The first time? GTFOH with all that hyperbole.

Things not play out like you were hoping, champ? Now since you can't bitch and complain about a loss you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel?

For some of you supposedly "grown men", ya'll friggin bitch, moan, and complain about every single thing, like an old hag going through menopause. You'd think we were at a drag convention with all the drama queens running around here.

 

[3 fan]

The OP is a troll

 

[83Cat]

I agree.

 

[CatPhight]

The OP is a troll

Been called out for trolling since last year.

 

[Stonewall12]

Murray can do whatever he wants and still play. Other players get bumped out of bounds and they get jerked out. Ulis is the reason we won. If Skal goes to the draft next year his guardian should be charged with child abuse.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

With 12 points and 2 assists, Murray was responsible for 16 points. 7 turnovers takes away 14 of those points. So he didn't lose the game. Just tied it.

His effort was obvious though and I'll take that every day.

 

[Aike]

Probably not a coincidence that we struggled defensively after they got into the bonus so quickly. Although we also made a handful of mistakes.

 

[Bungalow Bill]

Murray just needs to grow as a player and quit trying to make the spectacular play so much. He's very talented and I'm glad he's with us. Ul's pretty good and it was a great win. Murray was a big part of it.

 

[whhs22]

hahahaha love all the troll cat calls. I've been posting here before Tubby left you goofs. but I call it like I see it. Murray hit some 3s but when up he went on a stretch of mistakes that got UL back in the game.

he has to shoot , I get it. but today like I said I watched as 1 player just about cost us the game. had Murray played with in control like we did at the end of the half this would of been a 20 point win.

some of you do not see the big picture. UL sucks, Ohio state sucks if we do not get this under control we are dead in the water. Murray trying to make something out of nothing has to stop. if not and cal keeps him on the court , we are not going to far.

I'm all for Murray having green light. posted that last week. but had no idea his decision making was at this level. can't win that way.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

Except we did win and its December and players learn by playing through mistakes

Granted, seven turnovers is about four too many, and I get what you are saying, but I'm also pretty sure that UofL didn't score off of every single one of his turnovers.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

Probably not, which makes it even clearer that Murray did not "almost lose" the game.

 

[UKCATSFREAK]

I agree that Muuray played poorly today and I even somewhat agree with the OP because I thought the exact same thing at the time. It felt like he was trying to get his or he may have been trying to put the nail in the coffin, who knows but your post is just ridiculous.

Please tell me, who is Cal going to put out there that is better than Murray? Do you not think Jamaal should be playing? That's just ridiculous and it's a shame to even see this posts.

 

[Bodvar Bjarki]

Half of Murray's turnovers came off his behind the back dribble.

 

[jrpross]

Jamal should be playing as much as possible. He should NOT, however, drive into 3 guys before we've even attempted to set up the offense. He needs to play in control. His development will be HUGE for this team's chances in March.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

Once Murray realizes that he can't play with the turbo button stuck on all the time, and that other players have a turbo button too, he's going to be dangerous.

I agree with some of what you say on this thread but UL does not suck. Lee is a legit NBA talent and a helluva scored in college. Lewis is really good too. They're not a bad team at all and I was quite impressed with them today. Without us hitting all those 3's, we lose this game. But the good thing is that we did hit them and we won!! So, go celebrate and we will pick them apart later. Its time to drink!!!

 

[3rex]

He picked a bad time to try & posterize a defender, but he also hit some clutch shots at big moments.

I'll take his game any day.

 

[Chuckinden]

Murray is going through some growing pains, IMO. He had such a great summer and looked like a star in the making early in the season, but he's doing some crazy stuff now. He has too much talent for this trend to continue much longer.

 

[rolaid]

He played really bad...but he hopefully will learn...seemed more like 10 turnovers...he was flat out of control. Has a long way to go on defense and shot selection

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

That attempted dunk should have been 2 free throws instead of a turnover

How long you've been posting has nothing to do with your trollness and UL does not suck. They're actually pretty good because they have experienced guards that can score. Murray will be a huge factor in how far we go in March. We did win that way too, and he made some positive plays not just the bad you focus on.
