How many times did you say to the TV "No, what are you doing?"

Lee's two fouls in the first half were awful. Briscoe should not shoot another three the rest of the season. Poythress seems aloof half the time. Willis is a spaz and Skal is even worse on the road.

Ulis drives into the lane and no one knows what to do. He's made the other team's defense collapse and everyone hides, like they're scared to death of that 10-15 foot shot.

Now Isaac is useless because Cal quit playing him completely.
 
A few on this team are playing to the scouts, and nothing more. I have a hunch that Cal has inadvertently created a situation that may result in backfire - kids playing more to get that "chance in a million" rather than to win for the school. Just look at Goodwin - one of the worst players ever to don a UK uniform (or any college for that matter) - making millions in the NBA. Rondo, another example. Literally made UK fans' heads explode, yet he's going down as one of the best PGs to have played in the NBA.

Skal. Has shown us nothing. Yet tonight he's still listed as a lottery NBA pick. Seriously. #10 prospect. Wow.

Poythress. A student getting his graduate degree. Smart as a tack, obviously. But what on earth has he learned over these past few years? He's not grown at all. Still the same flashes of "wow" that we saw when he was an 18-year-old freshman, but unfortunately, still the same flashes of "WTF, man" that we saw when he was an 18-year-old freshman.
 
Brains buddy...when you rip 19 footers 4 or 5 times low percentage with hand in the face that is brains. Murray is all brains. He has the play making ability and plays hard but he is green and doesn't know subtleties. Same could be said for skal. For God sake when you are defending interior put your frigging arms up. He has no idea when to rotate. The rest have the same issue and this is what you get with the watering down the talent pool of the one and done. Murray is a high school senior and so are the down under boys. We disnt give up we were with in 4 w 10 or so left. Idk we have guys who don't know what to do. How about cal screaming at Murray to drive. He scream it like he already told him to go more than once. He should know.

How odd. Cal screams at Murray to drive tonight, but just a week ago he was incensed that Murray drove and didn't "shoot!" Which way is it? I can see why these kids are confused.
