Wait he says what tears and then uses an emoji that has tears. Investigation needed!
I hate when Cal's incompetence
- Thread starter deplion
- Start date
Yes we did, but did what you witness last night build your confidence in this team or leave you with more questions than answers.
It left me happy we won.
Tons of stuff was crappy. And we won.
I'm going to enjoy it. You can choose not to if that makes you happy.
The OP of mine he responded to had no emojis at all yet he implied I was crying. The post you just quoted had a laughing emoji in it. Laughing tears and crying tears aren’t even remotely the same.
Excellent analogy! I’m with you. I’m stoked with any win, be it by 1 point or 90, but most of us clear headed, observant segment of the fan base have seen this movie before, and we know how it ends, if the director doesn’t do something to create an alternate ending.
And that something is playing a style of traditional CBB, utilizing the right players, beginning to end of each game going forward, and stop playing a style that’s a failed attempt at a NBA tryout.
They are imploding. Guys quitting team, etc. A win is a win, but this isn't a quality one.
Ugly game, ugly win, but I’m happy we won.
Terrible start but I’m happy we played through it and got a win.
I’m happy we had some guys step up and make some big plays and make some big shots.
This could have very easily been a loss, I’m happy, there is still reason for concern, but I’m going to enjoy the win.
damn sad place you must be in if you can't enjoy a win
and we won
He averaged 6.9pts a game this year, not best player numbers. He was getting buried on the bench and wasn’t starting tonight and decided to quit. But, I’m sure it affected the team. I’m just happy for the win! Go Cats!
one can be happy that we won yet concerned about the direction of the team at the same time. Coming off the debacle at SC, last nights performance was not what I was hoping for despite getting the win against a really bad team playing without their best player.
some people aren't concerned with the direction they are just unhappy and have to complain
It's amazing to me that some don't see this. We see legit concerns. And others call us sad, mad, miserable etc because see don't see rainbows and butterflies after that game. Trust me, in a way, I was actually more excited about that win last night than many sunshiners here were, but it didn't alleviate legit concerns.
people are entitled to their own opinions ,but it seems some just want to focus on the negative during a win or loss and of course find somebody to blame
To cals credit he didn't pull the stupidity of last game with the constant revolving door. Other than that, I didn't see anything notable from his perspective. We benefitted from a good matchup because we didn't have to worry about their guards burning us outside and they didn't have a stretch that we had to worry about.
If our 5 can stay near the rim we're in good shape, especially if it's onyenso. We just never adjust our coverage or defense to address teams that have those guys mentioned above

Take a look around the country. The story this year is that no one in the top 20 can win a game on the road. Don’t take any road win for granted.
College ball is not the same as it was. The portal has allowed teams to close the gap. Every team you see has at least 1 or two guys on the roster that can beat you.
You do you and I’ll do me deal? There are such things in sports as good losses and bad wins. Last night falls into a bad win category in my book, but a bad win will always look better on the record than a good loss. While it looks better I don’t feel as good about the team right now (following the win) as I did a few weeks ago following our loss to A&M. Thats me, if you feel different, cool!!!!!
Plenty of teams are winning road games. UNC is 5-0 on the road in the ACC for example. Illinois won @michigan by 15 which is as equivalent of a matchup as we had last night. If Arkansas had played even a decent game last night and we struggled but pulled out the win that’s one thing, but they were horrible. 33% FG/ 21% from 3, 9 assist to 13 turnovers. Had we played even decent ourselves we win by 20 but squeaking out a 6 point win while hitting 9/20 from deep is just nothing to be excited about. Glad for the win but team has to get it together fast or February is gonna be rough.
You get no argument from me there. They sure screwed Clemson last night though.
I would feel much better about our chances if we could somehow prove we were capable of beating an elite team like UNC. 😉
Just giving you a hard time. lol. Like I said,I have concerns too.
Are we national title favorites? Nope. Not at all.
Are we guaranteed to make it past the first weekend in the tourney? No to that one too.
On the other hand, have we shown enough to make me think it's possible we get hot and make another Final Four trip?
Despite several on here screaming it's impossible and insisting they know we are doomed, the answer for me is yes.
March is crazy. Anything can happen, and I'm looking forward to seeing if we can break our streak of disappointing conclusions to our seasons and do something special this year.
I disdntvsay I was excited but anytike you get an SEC road win thats a good thing. Honest to gawd some of you seem dissapointed the Cats one. There is alot improvement the team needs to do but anybody not happy with an SEC road win
They neat Duke didnt they?
With a complete roster. They were missing two players from the Duke game last night. Davis didn’t do much in that game but Brazile lead them in scoring that game at 19. I realize we were missing Dilly who I think would have helped a lot last night but we should have been able to handle last nights version of Arkansas without him.
I don’t disagree with you at all there but my worst fear, and shared by many here (even yourself perhaps) is that cal will keep this team from reaching what they could be as opposed to the other way around. It is killing cal to limit Edwards minutes and he’s probably starting to lose sleep over having to limit Bradshaw (if he can bring himself to do it). All it is going to take is for either to play halfway decent and right back up their minutes will go. We all know cal puts the success of those two players above the rest of the team and DJ right there as well but DJ is playing better than those 2, not 35 minutes/game better but better at least. Will he move DJ off the ball as he should? Next game against Florida will be interesting to see as I hope for the first time all year we have our full roster at our disposal.
Yea back at ya, I don't see you as often around here, always appreciative of the LOD days.
we'll definitely improve but we still have Tennessee and Auburn, so while Cal is trying to figure out who to play and for how long we'll end up being the best 4 seed in the tournament.
Cal has to stop letting players who are struggling develop in games. We play a 4 or 5 cupcakes for the sole purpose of settling on a line up. Talking about how he has to give a kid time in mid January isn't good coaching and in the last few years there is no payoff in it.
It solely beneficial to the player (at the expense of the team and the bench players who are also putting in the time)
You maybe right. We'll see. It's still a hard place to win. We go to Nashvile next week it is always tough.
Enough talent? Yes. Good enough college basketball players? Unlike most years, I say yes here too – but barely (and mainly because of depth).
Guards & SF: Reeves, Wagner, Sheppard & Dillingham – good enough collectively, but thin with only 4 guys playing 120 minutes; Thiero, Edwards and Burks at SF serves as a placeholder, but playing long periods here hurts.
PF: Mitchell, Thiero, Edwards and Burks – good enough, I believe.
Center: Onyenso, Big Z & Bradshaw – could possibly be good enough as a collective unit if used correctly.
