Game thread for tonight’s games

I think Z could have benefited from playing under Pope in his system and learn from a coach that was a big man who stretched the floor himself.

As far as Boogie, this was Cal's advice after the game.

Seriously though, why does Cal hate threes so bad? Makes no sense at all.

He was one of the main reasons they win last night. Blocking shots. Hit one of their only 3’s. He dominated the block. Granted they had no post player but when he roams around he’s good.

He’s 7’2….he’s gonna block a few shots. But I wouldn’t call him a great shot blocker. Only thing I would call him good at is stand still 3 point shot. Amari Williams will be a man amongst boys against him.

Cal offense is just simple to defend . Literally 3 or 4 guys standing around while a player dribbles and waits for a screen .

His history of getting guards and them being one and done has helped but I don’t see how a top recruit can watch that offense and want to go there.

Easy to defend and he does little preparation on his opponents. Recipe for an early tournament exit.😐

Boise St. beat Oakland by 44… just saying.

I didn’t see a single bad 3 that Boogie took in this game. They were going under screens and he was taking them wide open. Most of them hit the inside of the rim and bounced out. Just bad coaching that I’m thrilled we don’t have to put up with anymore

Arkansas fans already getting all of the greatest hits. Plus some new bonus material.

Enjoy the ride piggies.

Also glad to not have Cal yelling at the refs at UK. I only watched about 10 mins of that game last night, and nearly the entire time Cal was screaming, throwing his arms up with that idiotic mouth open stare at the refs, and just arguing with them any time they came close.

I didn't even think about the refs at our opener. Didn't care to look up their names. It will be interesting (and likely refreshing) to see some of the usual SEC clowns that gave us a hard time doing our games with Pope at the helm. I bet we don't see any majorly questionable calls.

He's losing his mind. I mean, he kind of did at UK there towards the end, but this is another level. And, he's turned into more of an asshole with reporters and even his team. He's mocking his players using mentally handicapped gestures and sounds. Just a weird set of remarks from that clown.

The infamous Shoot, Run, Go! offense. Glad those days are in the past.

Don't forget fight. 💥

That too!!

It was a joke!! Good grief. Let me spell it out for you...Cal telling Arkansas fans the same line in their games as if they were somehow on the level of Kentucky is what I would find humorous even if it is a huge game for that other team. Kentucky wasn't even the subject of the discussion that you brought into this. I don't think there is one fan who would ever think anything else about Kentucky Basketball being the biggest game on any team's schedule. Even with other blue bloods. As true as it is for Kentucky, I don't see Pope ever using it as an excuse for a bad game. Another post once again you take out of context to make yourself seem smarter than everyone else on the board. I've never really had many interactions with you as a poster here if any before these last couple of days. However, as a daily reader of the forum I have read enough of your interactions with others over the years to know what a manipulative poster you are. A fair amount of patronizing and condescension with many of your posts. Pretend to take a moral high ground and twist people's words over the slightest post to imply something else by them as if that gives you some stance to wag your finger at other UK fans and look down on others from your high horse.

I guess I'd rather talk about Kentucky than I would arkansas. Simmer down

I guess I need to watch that entire post=game now. The way that clip's edited, Cal comes off like a babbling idiot. Surely it can't be that bad in it's entirety?

Then I guess you ought to find a thread that doesn't discuss the games of the night since Arkansas was one wise guy. You further prove my point about yourself. Congratulations.

But if he didn’t hate the shot he would have recruited shooters or retained Meeks.

Every time I watch a Celtics game, reminded of Joe Mazzulla getting to the basket at ease that game. Even BCG held him in check for 4 points the year before.

Look I thought there was a talking point there. I wasn’t trying to infer anything about you or twist your words. Back when cal was here some of our fans would act up every time he used the superbowl line. You have crazy thin skin homie
