If Cal, DJ, and Thiero had put this much effort into last year we wouldn’t have been humiliated by Oakland

[Basil Cat]

Where was this effort and focus ?

 

[taydaddy]

The Kentucky effect

 

[Fox2monk]

It’s the one and only game they will show it,.

 

[IIIBradIII]

We're everyone's superbowl, even former players. It sucks that we always seem to bring out the best in other players but that's just the way it is.

 

[UKSanders]

yep, I don't like the person Cal much (his arrogance, narcissism), but I just absolutely hate Cal the coach...

it's SO hard to stomach this loss to that jerk

 

[southvillecat]

Those scrubs will be back to being scrubs and playing for the NIT while we play real basketball

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Cal coached his butt off tonight and actually ran some plays and let Big Z shoot 3’s. Big difference. Plus, DJ played best I’ve seen him play this year

 

[howercat]

They got up for one game. Next game at Texas, they will lose. KY effect.

 

[runt#69]

I say in jest, because they mustve taken SOMETHING to have made them play THAT FAR above what they have been capable of. Drug test ?

lol

i jest, I jest.

It will really be interesting to see how well they perform here on out, but just like Cal, we all know it isnt something sustainable.

hope we get them in the SEC tournament.

I'd settle for rematch, but next time, can we get Butler and Carr and have as complete a team as we can get first?

 

[shaudyshaud]

Oakland played tougher than we did tonight

 

[ala_kat2]

We may get them in the SEC tournament. I hope we can get revenge.

 

[WildmanWilson]

If all the dumb ****s hadn’t energized them with the constant booing maybe they would not have played out of their minds.

 

[mg0721]

I actually like Thiero and what he did last year. Cal's effort on the other hand the last 5 years wasn't good. DJ isn't a good play consistantly, he just had a good one tonight. He will suck again in their next game.

 

[SemperFiCat]

It's just sports. Pretty sure they weren't motivated by boos. It didn't surprise them.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Yea I didn’t see this effort last year. Either from Cal or the players.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Well at least Reed Sheppard can wear his cal piggie jammies tonight

 

[Farsight]

Cal already wanted out so that's why.

When Cal is lose and confident, his teams perform

 

[ala_kat2]

Maybe Oakland actually has a defense?

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Where was this effort and focus ?

Um. In Adou’s defense, Cal barely played him against Oakland. If Cal would’ve played Adou 25 minutes instead of 7, we win that game.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Cal won THE game that he and everyone else wanted. Now he’ll go back to mundane, uninspired street ball Cal just to piss us off

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Um. In Adou’s defense, Cal barely played him against Oakland. If Cal would’ve played Adou 25 minutes instead of 7, we win that game.

This. The freshmen all pretty much sucked that game. Reeves kept us in it but thiero not playing more was 100% a discussion post game

 

[Eagle2019]

it's SO hard to stomach this loss to that jerk

And his racism!

 

[AJG-15]

Vincent Calipari requested whole week off before the KENTUCKY GAME so he can prepare for it.

 

[FirewithFire]

They will lose their next game by at least twenty. Book it.

 

[DeerTurkHunter1]

If all the dumb ****s hadn’t energized them with the constant booing maybe they would not have played out of their minds.

Yeah the fans fault, hahahahaha

 

[Aike]

DJ said it was maybe the biggest game he’d ever played in? Explains a lot.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Yeah well they didn't.

That was the fat Elvis version of Cal.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Oakland played tougher than we did tonight

Chandler played like Rachel would give him some if he won

 

[RondoBaller21]

I remember them winning some big road games last year. They were to inconsistent, but had the talent to win more. Everyone forgets that they were always down 10 before his best two players entered the game cause he didn’t start them. There was no reason for Dillingham and Thiero playing as little as they did that last game.

Where was this effort and focus ?

True, but this was Cal's superbowl
