Since I only live about 30 miles east of Nashville I normally try to make this one game each year to see the Cats. This is Cal's least talented team since the Noel - Goodwin team. Without our 4 star Alexander we would be in big trouble. He is the only player we have who is hard to guard. Everyone else allows themselves to be guarded. We allowed the worst Vandy team in many years to take us to the wire...thank goodness for three missed free throws by a 90% percent shooter. We are really long and play fairly good defense. On offense we just look slow and have no one other than Alexander who can create their own shot. Diallo makes horrible decisions..Knox disappeared the first half. Washington looked uninspired. Gabriel hustles his butt off. Richards and Jones are both very mediocre. We look like a 5 seed and may not make it past the first weekend. This team is the second worst team I have seen at UK since BCG left. Thankfully Vandy shot 9 % from three in the first half and 6-27 for the game or it would have been a long afternoon.. We did guard the three but they miss a bunch of shots I see them often make.
I think we should hold off on some of the criticism until we have our full contingent of guys.
Plus, road games are hard for even veteran teams. You get taken right out of your normal on the road and do uncharacteristic things and that's how good teams lose to bad teams on the road. But we won while missing 4 guys. Green and Vanderbilt give this team a huge boost.
But here's something else that grinds my gears. Why is it every time we beat a team that didn't shoot as well as they usually do, we have to make it seem like UK got lucky and caught them on a bad night? Yeah, they missed some open threes, but they miss open threes in every game, even when they're on fire. Our guys guarded the three point arch really well today, just leave it at that.
Also, just remember what we did to ULOL, those were our players in those Kentucky uniforms and they are capable of playing like that, yes.
Ha. No. But Vandy does believe he is theirs....he is committing late so as not to be harassed by Indiana idiots.Were you able gain any new insight into the "Langford situation"? Did you shout from mid-court at Cal for not recruiting him?
Youngest team in UK history, second youngest in NCAA history and some on here say Cal was out coached at our three losses. 3 losses, and oh yeah, 14 wins so, does that mean he out coached 14 other coaches? Sounds pretty good to me.Since I only live about 30 miles east of Nashville I normally try to make this one game each year to see the Cats.

I in no way was attempting to be negative but realistic in what I saw. They are young but not Cals typical freshman.Youngest team in UK history, second youngest in NCAA history and some on here say Cal was out coached at our three losses. 3 losses, and oh yeah, 14 wins so, does that mean he out coached 14 other coaches?

Not calling you out, should have been more specific. Was agreeing with you actually.I in no way was attempting to be negative but realistic in what I saw. They are young but not Cals typical freshman.
Thanks.Not calling you out, should have been more specific. Was agreeing with you actually.
You and I would get along....the OP must be a blast to be around, lol.Geez dude...we're 14-3 and we won the game on the road without a key player. It's OK.
1. Good news is we're not without SGA...he's on our team and isn't going anywhere (this year anyway).
2. Hami, SGA, and Knox look slow to you? Really?
3. Well, Vandy was 17-18 from the line at one point so maybe LaChance was reversion to the mean.
4. Knox and Diallo can't create their own shot? PJ can't drive and make something happen? This team is nearly 50% from the field for the year and were 54% today.
I respectfully submit the glass half full take.
