Correct, his attempts to score early in the clock with mostly long 2s was just non winning basketball for the most part. A lot of frustration was Cal allowing that. He really needed a more consistent motor and some strength. That all said, obviously better than we have had this year for sure at that position.
All of that social justice by 18 year old kids, stepping into a state they don't live in and accusing the University and its Basketball program that helped integrate the sport in the south, of being racist. Pretty ignorant of the athletes in general to think the majority of Kentuckians would share the same sentiments.
Yea. It blows my mind how people just look at ppg and equate that to success
I wanted him here. I’m one of the few that don’t care about about the kneeling, politics, etc…
He definitely would add some much needed punch to the lineup, we definitely played well with him last year but I hope Toppin is finally starting to become the player we expected him to be lately.
He’s actually not lol. Just because he’s scoring 6 more points and averaging 3 more boards doesn’t mean he’s doing better. He’s in a bigger role, playing more minutes, and shooting a TERRIBLE 42% from the floor as a forward. That’s abysmal and not what you want on a winning team. Off the court stuff aside, he’s just not a winning player.
You're right he's not a very efficient offensive player. I didn't look very deeply into the numbers before saying he's playing better than he ever did at UK. He's getting more minutes and more leash because they don't have anyone else who can do any better. If he were here, I'm sure he'd still be getting the same kind of criticisms he did the last 3 seasons.
He beat one of the best teams of my lifetime ( probably the best) with a Umass team that had one pro and went 6 deep.
I just hope someone doesn't slip up and tell him who U-Dub was named after.
Many of the posters on this site weren't born when that happened. Lol. I used to run a 4.5 forty years ago. That has nothing to do with how fast I can run today which is considerably slower. Cal has likely forgotten many of the things that he once knew when he was at Umass. It is for certain that he isn't nearly as determined now as he was back then. He is no longer trying to make a name for himself; he is living on the one he made while giving far less effort.
I am as upset with UK as anyone else, but saying they are going nowhere might be a correct statement.
From your perspective, I am sure that it is viewed as a reach which isn't unusual for someone who isn't impacted by the cause of his response. You just want to see them run up and down the court for your delight. You only see them as a means to your end which is winning. As a person outside of sports, they don't matter. NEXT MAN UP!
The head covering seems appropriate. Lol

Go cheer for someone else.
If you don't think like me, you are not welcome here.
Yep if you agree with calling Rupp a racist you can GTFO
He can get out, but he won't and nor does he have to. Getting angry and making demands just makes you look foolish. There is nothing you can do about it accept to realize that we are all entitled to our beliefs even if others don't agree with them.
The fact is, he said this without evidence or doing homework....he even admits this. Show me where Rupp was racist. Is Duke racist for playing a vast majority of white guys the last 30 years?
Was a reference to Brook’s numbers on his current team. I may not have made the context clear.
There were no Jewish people on the team, either, and there still isn't.....you see me crying about the name on the floor?
I like Jewish people, I think it’s a really interesting culture, Also, bagels and lox are the most underrated breakfast in America, Maybe you have ancestors treated poorly during the holocaust. Maybe you didn‘t. But your family history doesnt change the reality other people have lived in.
