I hate when Cal's incompetence
- Thread starter deplion
- Start date
Auburn won by 22 on the same floor, South Carolina won by 13. Arkansas didn’t even play that good tonight against us tonight, in fact they played like shit and we barely pulled out the win.
First half scare? Baylor? Duke? Auburn? KU? Arizona in spite of what aikes numbers say my eye says none of these teams are contenders. Arkansas was a very bad team very bad.
I agree there could be a growth element to implementing a tighter defense and how that transitions on the offensive end. That’s a good point but I need more than a half to evaluate that especially against a bad offensive ark team.
Ultimately you're just sad we won and are always, always looking something to moan about. You and a handful of other miserable, whiney, can-never-be-happy "UK fans".
Insufferable.
I don’t care about your the size of the win. The win counts the same whether it’s by 22 or 6. Go cats
That's fair, IMO. Like I said, I've got concerns too.
The "Cal has ruined this team" threads at halftime with posters patting themselves on the back may have been a tad bit premature though.
Just having some good natured fun with this thread.
Never seen so many “fans” mad that UK won tonight.
Yeah it said we were 1 and 4 in the last 5 against the hogs. Alot of teams lost today and earlier in the week. We will be ranked around 9th or so and survived January.
As I read this thread all I can think of is the old prospector mining gold his whole life, filling up bag after bag only to take it to the assayer office to be told he had nothing but bags of Iron pyrite. This is just another season of Fools Gold. There’s enough talent on this team to win a championship but it’s being so misused that they will end up losing in the first or second round in March. You Calipari bootlickers go right ahead. I’m going to sit back in my corner over here and come back and see you in March.
Have games against 3 of the teams ahead of us coming up. Control destiny
I’m not getting my hopes up so Cal can crush them again (for the third time) this season. I’m not mad we won either obviously
Arkansas didn’t have their 2 most talented players and have basically quit on the season. Fayetteville hasn’t been such a tough place to win this year even when they had those 2 guys. I give credit to Cal for letting Shepherd run the point the last 10 minutes which won the game for him. But he will revert right back to the same lineups and rotations next game. Glad to get a win so the season doesn’t fall apart but let’s not get too giddy about it. There are major problems with this team.
Oh no. Are you swimming in your river of tears yet?
Blows my mind some people. We win, maybe we're going through a funk like all teams do (by the way, lots of teams are losing games they shouldn't, or barely winning games they should blow out).
Was I pissed in the first half? Yeah. But it was odd as this time it wasn't my usual anger at Cal. It was more of a "WTF is going on, get your shit together" at the team. But again, this team is going through a little change right now with having three big guys back and a dilemma on who the hell gets PT. And, they are trying to figure out getting better defensively while keeping some semblance of this offensive power. If we can settle at around 80 ppg and see that AdjD keep climbing into the top 30, I will be very excited going into March.
And also, I was ecstatic, ECSTATIC that Edwards had clock reduced. Bradshaw needs to be next.
Sounds like you'll be happy if they lose early in March so u can say I told u so?
Don't worry.
I'm sure you'll have more chances to relish a UK loss. Probably sooner rather than later.
Just got to be patient and hang in there!
I suspect Z didn't play due to pick and roll defense. I'm sure he was the player Cal was referring to when he said "if one guy plays, we have to do it differently".
Not sure of your point. I was referencing defense, not offense. Don't think we control what the other team trys.
No problem bro. Done that myself
What tears? Did you think Arkansas played good at all? Sorry but Z played but a few minutes segment so spare me the 3 big man mantra as he didn’t figure into the equation at all. We got 21 minutes tonight of Bradshaw/edwards with 0 points and 4 rebounds. No way Z could top that 😂.
Exactly how I feel. But, I never post during the game in all the negative threads going on at the time. I'm no Cal lover but I'm not a super hater like some of the others either. I do like this team but we do have problems that need to be addressed. If Cal fails in a big way with this team then we can get serious about how to make a change.
Arkansas will beat more than 2 good SEC teams at home this year, we won't be one of them.

No. If you ever drank a beer with me during the games you would see how much it rips my heart out to watch my team get beat by inferior teams. That’s happened far too often in the last few years. I refused to be numb about it. This program is a helluva more important than any coach or player. People have lost sight of that and accept what has happened far too easily. .I guess that comes with age, the same reason the 1984 team said what they said last weekend.. Way too much talent has passed thru Lexington to not have won but 1 title in the last 25 years.
They beat A&M by a point at home. A&M is 10-8. I guess you can count them as a good team if you want. They have 5 home games left and the only truly good team i see coming there is Tennessee. I don’t see them beating them. Oh and they just lost one of their most talented players for the season and another one didn’t play today and seems there is uncertainty there about his future.
Yeah Dj has absolutely zero change of pace to his game like once he puts his head down he is all in 100 percent. If he could develop a change of pace type ability where teams could respect his ability to switch speeds or throw up a floater it would help against better competition.
In high school it worked, to his credit he’s gotten better at finishing, needs to use his right hand more though.
When we're still trying to work in a couple of bigs, and have several Freshmen who have apparently never been asked to play D in their entire lives, yeah, I think it isn't unreasonable to hope we see significant improvement over the next five weeks or so.
Nice to hear from you, by the way. Hope you're doing well. 🙂
