Knight also had the least help of all of Cal's elite players.

Bullshit. Lamb & Jones were college studs, and Liggins was the LAST of the experienced/rugged players we desperately crave and will never see again.

Oh, and Harrelson was a legit and well above average college big by that point in the season. Darius Miller was pretty decent, iirc.

It was a great run, for certain. It just wasn't Knight dragging us there through some miraculous postseason as so many choose to remember - instead, a complete team effort.

IIRC, Lady Mary quite literally sucked (or f*cked) (or both) the life out of one guy. A definite point in her favor.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Harrelson is EASILY the most overrated player of the Cal area. He's basically turned into UCLA-era Bill Walton since he's left the program.

 

[anthonys735]

Get B Knight outcha mouth. Only warning.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

There is a whole lot of irony in the fact that our leading scorer in the game that gave Cal his only national title was a dead-eye shooting, unathletic sophomore who barely sniffed the NBA.

Hey Tony, eat shit.

Liggins was exactly the type of dude I expected to be a staple of every calipari team when he was hired. Dude was the quintessential Memphis-era cal player. Long, athletic, good with the ball, nightmare on defense. Rough as a cob. 3-4 year kid. We haven’t had a mf like that since he left though.

 

[RunninRichie]

WKU/Louisville should be a really good one today before the big boy double header -- Topps have been really impressive early, that trio of McKnight, Hollingsworth, and Bassey is about as good as it gets. May sprinkle that ML.

I've never known less about a UofL basketball team in my life, and it's not even close. Pretty similar feeling watching IU yesterday as well. What a weird time.

That Trey Galloway is one awkward flat footed SOB - looks like Adam Morrison's less talented and less ugly little brother out there. He can play though.

you a IU fan?

miss that dude

^And he didn't even commit to Cal.

Can't brag about that player on draft night, so what doesn't help build the narrative has no place in this program anymore.

 

[krazykats]

That team led by Knight basically flipped a switch when elimination time came. That season was an absolute shitshow almost losing every conference road game it felt like.

Still, what Knight brought to the table is exactly what this group, and most all groups of FR, need. He organized and directed them in a way that it made sense what we were doing, we just weren’t that damn good at doing it for some weird reason.

This team lacks that PG that sets us up and directs traffic. Then has the ability to know the opponent is on a run so then feed the post for higher percentage stuff, but instead we look like some playground legends all grouped together going 1 on 5.

What’s worse is that 1st half was some solid basketball, but it wasn’t great by any means, and I’m still shocked we lost even though I watched us fall completely apart.

Bullshit. The supporting cast was good but we only went 6 deep so we were limited.

And you only posted his shooting numbers in the tourney. Let's look deeper.

Princeton: Yes, he only had 2 pts but that bucket won us the game avoiding the 1st round upset. He also had 5 assists.

WVU: 30 pts, 4 assists, 3 rebounds in a game where we were down 11 at the half, avenging the loss from the prior season.

OSU: 9 pts but once again hit the game winner against arguably the best team in the country. He also had 4 assists and 3 rebounds.

UNC: 22 pts, 4 assists and 7 rebounds against a 2 seed. So as a 4 seed, he helped take out the 1 and 2 seeds in 2 days. Has UK ever done that before in team history prior to the FF?

UConn: shooting wasn't great but he had 17 pts, 5 assists and 8 rebounds. And your stud Jones was the one missing free throws down the stretch costing us the victory.

Knight was a stud. And he was the MAIN reason we made the FF.

 

[Geese Feeder]

Good stuff, krazy.

Thanks so much!

Just a few episodes in so Lady Mary is safe for now in the SAECATFAN English period drama crush power rankings. Fended off a furious attack by Claire Fraser from Outlander earlier this year tbh.

Enjoyed how that punter couldn’t give a shit about getting blocked. Marcus Welby shrugged.

 

[WayneDougan]

You have no time for people who get EPO’s against jaded ex-lovers?

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

WORSHIP.

What a a great college guard.

For all we know he probably just rolled out of bed with some hussy, hit the blunt or threw foot powder on Rich2Skype’s face and would walk out onto the court and the bigger the game, the bigger the stage.. The better he played.

 

[anthonys735]

Can I get a list of former Kentucky players I'm allowed to like or appreciate? If it was in some type of categorical order that would be great.

Macy, Kyle
Feldhaus, Deron
Prince, Tayshaun
Epps, Anthony

 

[anthonys735]

Oh, ok. Alowed to appreciate:

1. One of the biggest dicks in UK history that I have no recollection of playing.
2. (I don't really mean this Deron) The guy that stood and watched Laetner shot a wide open shot.
3. Guy who literally never won anything.
4. Valid.

 

[VernHatton52]

I love Lamb as much as the next guy but in the 2011 tourney his pts are as follows:
Princeton-7
WVU-6
OSU-6
UNC-8
UConn-13

That's not exactly setting the world on fire.

 

[SAECATFAN]

If you'd like to inexplicably dislike a beloved UK player that never won anything please allow me to strongly recommend Hayes, Chuck.

Trust that there's plenty of vacancy at the ol Chuck Hayes Haterz Inn, anth.

 

[anthonys735]

Maybe I'm not laying on the sarcasm thick enough. Except for Macy, that's my honest opinion on him. It's not Rex level hate but he's whatever for me.

Bullshit. Lamb & Jones were college studs, and Liggins was the LAST of the experienced/rugged players we desperately crave and will never see again.

Oh, and Harrelson was a legit and well above average college big by that point in the season. Darius Miller was pretty decent, iirc.

I guess I talk to different people about this team because I don’t recall any Brandon and The Miracles talk. That said, the guy hit two game winners in the tournament and was awesome against Carolina in the E8 in leading us to our first F4 in 13 years. That will get you some fans.

Sophomore DLamb might be the best player on our current squad.

 

[gattongrad09]

He shot 48% from the field who do you think he would be competing with?

 

[wcc31]

F it- I’m going there. BBdK can’t stop poormouthing clutchboi Brandon Knight but the minute you mention Tyler Herro’s tournament shooting percentage, he’s subtweeting you like a little bitch.

Go in, I gave him a final warning and he crossed the line.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Cue the BBDK text with real FINAL warning where’s he confirmed via text with every human being on planet Earth that you are indeed wrong and there will be major consequences.

 

[VernHatton52]

Sophomore DLamb might be the best player on our current squad.

If freshman Knight and sophomore Lamb were on this team, Knight would be our best player. Lamb would definitely be #2.

 

[TheShowKiller]

Knight, Herro, whatever...I prefer my former player angst to go towards a Junior AA leader who tossed up a 1 for 4, 2 point and 5 board performance in a game that took our fanbase's collective basketball soul, never fully been returned.

 

[wcc31]

Notice how I delivered that in language BBdK could understand?

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Look, if Knight was white, Chad would be on my side

 

[gobigbluebell]

I can get dang near teary eyed thinking about Liggins and his dreams. Kid earned every bit of what he got. When he got a cup of coffee with the Cavs and became a fan favorite, earning the respect of everybody by locking down NBA talent, I was so proud.

 

[VernHatton52]

Knight, Herro, whatever...I prefer my former player angst to go towards a Junior AA leader who tossed up a 1 for 4, 2 point and 5 board performance in a game that took our fanbase's collective basketball soul, never fully been returned.

And allowed his counterpart to dominate him. I could not agree more. That I will never forgive.

 

[wcc31]

Speaking of ...

I’d add your senior in-stater missing a HUGE three in a barnburner Elite 8 game only to be cucked by the opponent’s in-stater nailing a buzzerbeater three.
