I'll give Cal his credit.

- Start date
Cal coached a good game tonight, and remained composed even under some tough moments. He deserves a lot of credit tonight, he and the team were both great tonight
Nonsense.
He coaches now just like he has for 30+ years.
Except he’s better with experience.
Cal is the best coach in college basketball.
Agree 100 percent, hopefully they build off of this moving forward
Same here! Very impressive win and seeing Pearl losing his mind made it even better!
Great win! Great effort on the court and from the sidelines.
There isn't any reason why we don't see that type of preparation and effort every game

I love Z but I don't see how he gets much playing time, its just not a good fit until he gets used to contact
In a sane world he comes back and is UKs starting center next season. We don't live n a sane world sadly.
listen and find out. If most of you would actually listen, his comments wouldn't be misquoted after every game.
When he comes back I'd give him the backup 4/5 minutes. Thiero and Ugo have earned the starting spots, imo. But then I'm somebody who likes to start the best players.
I would where possible substitute Tre for offense and Theiro for defense, but that's presuming TM can come back and be the player he was earlier in the season.
Ugo absolutely is the man at the 5.
John Calipari is one of the best coaches in college basketball and most likely the best coach for Kentucky at this point in time.
We just beat one of the very best of the best defensive teams on their home court. And Auburn could not stop Reeves on that baseline pick play the entire second half. Auburn stifles a lot of teams offense.
Overall he done enough to win but he’s got to get the rotation right and guess what he has the players to do that. I loved our defensive effort tonight, we got to bring it!
So just complain about what he says, without knowing what he says. Common on here.
Yeah, this was an old school Calipari win. They controlled the game from start to finish. I didn't see it coming. He deserves credit, no doubt.
Someone else? Okay fine. As least someone coaching this team worked this week and earned this win.
I will say this I FULLY understand the bashing in large part of Cal last season and the upset in the tourney the year before ( though we had a great season before that upset ) but I flat out don't get it the last couple of weeks . I believe he has coached his ass off with this team but we have been so so injured along with being so so young for the most part . I have never waivered from my belief if we go into the tourneys healthy we will win the SECT and get to the final 4 bare minimum. We play in the best conference in basketball and against veteran teams with a lot of NBA talent in teams like UT , Bama to a lesser extent UF , AU , USC . We won't be without 2-3 players in games like that and expect to win always. I thought we had our guys ready to play the last 2 games especially but that was in large part becuase he could play the players he wanted to when he wanted to. DJ might be the 5th most talented player but he without a doubt is the 2nd most important player as he leads us and especially on D sets the tempo . When he is out there Ding up all the guys seem to follow suit. Sorry for rambling I just disagree with this notion Cal sucks ect ect. He is one of the top 5 cbb of the last 30 years and while he needed to change things up last offseason he did and when we are healthy I LIKE MY TEAM.
The thread from earlier today where a few people were predicting a W and morons were saying things like " only if we switch coaches could we win " and garbage like that shows how out of touch with reality some are on here. No team is going to win missing 2 starters against other great teams . The UF loss is the one loss this season that was flat out unacceptable . Yes the UNC whoever loss was as well but that was early on and we were without any of the bigs basically still AND DJ. UF loss though Cal deserves loads of criticism for .
