I swear given the intensity that Auburn plays with down their whole bench if CCC rides the same you know who's doing nothing during THIS huge game we will know. Our players WILL get winded as Pearl will throw constant fresh pressure on us, and our extra height on the bench doesn't get tired but everybody's legs do. If he refuses to use our weapons insinuating they are useless, well I'll just be unhappy another day I guess, but we will know.
I'ma go crazy if he rides the same non productive players!!

- Start date
But...when it clicks for them...one day in the NBA...it will be worth it...for us?
I used to get KFC chicken sandwich in the basement of Blazer in 94/94. Hidden secret.
This is the type of game he will throw Z in , as we are behind and in desperate situation— he will literally throw him to the wolves , then the dicks on here will say “ told you he didn’t deserve to play “ .. it’s the Cal way
Edwards is playing, people just need to accept it at this point
People on here want Reed, reeves, Dilly, thiero and z to play 40 mins each. Ain't happening.
I don't get the Edwarda hate. Sure he isn't a top 10 pick but he hasn't played that bad and has been improving. He's played better than plenty of starters from years past. I believe Reed will start tomorrow as well.
I wouldn’t bitch if Z got a chance — 4-5 games playing 20 min . But he didn’t
Really ? Throw him to the wolves ? If he can play, he can play anytime. Right ? So you are saying he is a fair weathered player ? Can only play good if we are up 30 against Georgia ? So you are also saying that he is not the person to call in if we need someone to spark the team if we are struggling ? You are not making a very good case for him EVER getting to play based on your statement. Lets say he starts, we get down 10, well I guess we need to bench him because we would be behind and desperate and it would be right for Cal to play him then. If we do get behind and the starters are struggling, I would hope to goodness he would try to change it up and run some new people in and maybe they can turn it around. Let them stay in ? Z is too good to come in if we are behind ?Is that is what you are saying ? Because from your point of view, Z would not be the right substitution and not fair to him.
Exactly what I was thinking. It is such an insult to everyone especially z to not play him, especially considering his rebounds per min is far ahead, and his release is so high. He just needs more mins but hey we all see the misuse...
If Cal has DJ/Edwards/Thiero/Ugo on the floor together, Auburn will blow UK's doors off.
Yup he showed out being himself instead of imitating an 80s center like Cow wanted him too. Made his precious draft picks look bad so he's out, even though he's on the draft board too WITH people his size that play like him.

How can the 9 mil a yr man not know this!!!!! NBA offensive coordinators have been blasting him in the national media for exactly this!! Two or MORE non shooting bigs clogging lanes AND bricking outside shots all game and he STILL reverts back to that every time he puckers. Whew I know
And we're supposed to be just as happy as him right! What's wrong w us Bennies!!??
Edwards has been ok …and much better lately . I like it when he gets the ball in the lane ..he goes up fairly strong , gets fouled or something generally decent happens … His improvement has resulted from that , as opposed to just shooting jumpers
Yup, I like seeing his improved body language and attitude too, like he wants it more. To his credit if I battled the 23-year-old version of myself with the 18-year-old version of myself I'd be struggling severely. I trained very hard between those ages and there's a MASSIVE difference. 18 yr old me never had a chance
Well he does seem to have an allergy to any approach that makes too much sense, if winning is your goal anyway.
I like the way Pearl uses his entire bench. Keeping fresh legs and everyone involved.
Changing lives one draft at a time,,,,,
OK who would everyone in this thread start against Auburn ? I will even post mine.
Wagner
Sheppard
Reeves
Thiero
Onyenso
Or
Wagner
Sheppard
Reeves
Edwards
Onyenso
I think you have to have Thiero instead of Dillingham for defense, rebounding and toughness in the first lineup I posted. BUT he will have to get some buckets and find open teammates also.
I know some will post this one :
Wagner
Dillingham
Sheppard
Reeves
Z or Onyenso
But that lineup we will get killed on the boards / defense.
Probable actual lineup :
Wagner
Reeves
Edwards
Thiero
Onyenso

What about :

Edwards

To me, not enough scoring. Pretty solid defensively (as much as "pretty solid" this team can give).

Edwards has definitely been better the last three games, especially with support scoring and steals.
It looks to me like he's coming around, working harder on defense, driving the ball more, solid free throw shooter.
What he absolutely needs to improve on is rebounding (only 22 in ten SEC games) and blocking some shots (only ONE in SEC).
You might as well start beating your head against the wall right now, because you know certain players get preference no matter how they play.
He starts over our two best players. How can you NOT get this. How dense is your skull.
He has looked better 3/4 of the last halves. Just wait and see how he looks tomorrow. Bet he gets rid of the ball a split second after he catches a pass.
This may go down as a horrible prediction, but, I am expecting UK will lose in an embarrassing fashion tomorrow. 20 points plus. Hope I am wrong.
I could see if happening honestly. The other 2 times they were double digit dogs on the road under call they won, so that’s the piece of hope I need
Better start Reed Rob Reeves Thiero big O or risk being down 16-4 first TV time out
