Golhke: 6 for 17 from 3 tonight in a losing effort.

NC ST. switched on him. Cats did not.

Yep. We expected our defender to run through double screens and still stop him. Just like our middle ball screen defense, where we'd ask a big man to cover a crafty guard in space - we constantly fail to put players in position to succeed.

I know you think he had a miracle performance against us, but he didn't.


WE DIDN'T GUARD HIM ENOUGH.

 

[crestcat]

We face guarded him for three fourths of the game. We knew he made a lot of 3s too.

We held him to 10

Doesn’t this show everyone why this team can’t play defense?

Fantastic video which shows why teams were able to light us up from 3 including in this game. I think the most telling is the lack of any understanding of the cross screen. I wish the guy narrating didn't go so over the top but that doesn't take away from some awesome descriptions clearly demonstrating all that is wrong with Cal's coaching (or lack thereof).

The last 5 shots or so was when Oakland was in desperation mode and he was just throwing up off balanced prayers.

I watched that. Firstly, those are basic defensive concepts. There is no reality where a college coach doesn't know that. Secondly, it doesn't matter what concepts you're using if there's a hand an inch from the ball every time the guy shoots.

Like I said above, only 3 of his makes were open shots and they were the players' fault. The other 7 were heavily contested. 4 were so heavily contested they probably could have been and-1s.

You serious Clark?

Of course. They ran through Cal’s game plan like tissue paper, but you can’t expect those guys to get past an actual 11 seed.

Coaching malpractice, stealing $9mil a year. This is basic defensive Coaching. Or lack there of. UK is (was) the premier program in college basketball. A division 2 player just allowed to go off. Sickening.

They played defense and jammed him before he could get open.

NC St. played good D on him.

 

[Festivus Miracle]

Knect dropped 40 on us and we controlled the game. The accountant was great but we had no idea how to attack the zone. It hurts even worse to realize we lost it on the offensive end.
