Come tourney time, Calipari better not do stall ball. I want this team to crush every team

A smart coach would make it the kind of game for Z to play well in. Z has the skills to make opponents have to take notice of him. He rolls to the basket much better than anyone else and he has excellent hands to catch the ball. He can play inside and he can play outside. He has a great shooting touch that needs to be used as much as possible.

Have to change the lethargic starting lineup, but he won’t. Only offensive threat is Reeves. I’m beginning to think Wagner is either a multi year player or a bust. Bradshaw is a bust. Edwards is making great progress.
Besides Edwards incredible shooting, the main difference was the driving lanes were clogged with Ugo or Bradshaw preventing our drivers from breaking down the defense.
I missed a good one. Hopefully I will find a replay somewhere. I said we would not win today as LSU hangover was a possibility. With a young team you never know what you are gonna get. It makes is exciting and worrisome all in one.
The starting lineup is 1 shooter and 4 brickmasons.... unless Edwards has finally broken through. Then we have 1 shooter, 1 scorer, and 3 brickmasons.
It is frustrating that we keep sending DJ out for the start of games while he is playing so poorly.
Moved up from 23 to 17 in kenpom
DEF EFF stayed about the same still at 80
OFF EFF only went up from 9 to 8
Alabama DEF EFF dropped like a rock down to 99

I wonder what the defensive efficiency was before Bama scored 24 points in garbage time.
Probably trying not to foul out. Refs were pretty whistle happy the last 6 minutes.
Maybe? Who knows. Completely different era of ball and completely different time in college sports.
I know Pitino right now is having the most miserable time of his life and issuing Greyhounds to his players.
I'm not sure the era has anything to do with it, nor does whatever is happening to Pitino now
the point is, its a teaching moment, its a mindset of a team, and since when do you trust a freshmen team to decide when to let off the gas
yea, we know Cal by now. Truth and Transparency are optional in his press conferences
Is what it is. There’s two weeks left in the regular season. We beat the No 1 offense by 22. I’m not griping tonight. On to the next.
We lost AT LSU because we didn’t play defense. That simple really. Just tune out Cal.
Oh I know I'm just worried he's gonna keep making excuses for DJ and it's gonna cost us when it's lose and go home.
Excellent point. No one gets more talent than Cal. But then he coaches reactively to what the other teams plan is. You have the most talent Cal. Make them adjust to you.
So weird that we can't play as well without DJ or Thiero as we can play without Mitchell. Probably just an asterisk with most of the group now finally catching up. Cal might want to keep Tre out until the last week of the season to get him back if he's coming back.
yes, and more importantly, everyone knows it.
if he has a game like he had tonight in the tournament and UK loses, Cal will be universally hated.
I hope Wagner has great games and contributes but if he isn't, Cal can't play him. There is no margin for error from here on out
That makes me want to puke. Cal knows Wagner should be the 6th or 7th man on this team but he's made promises
In the end they score 1.18. Predicted 1.17.
Basically did as expected but then again we did let up quite a bit at the end which had the game been closer who knows maybe we don’t.
Offense 1.46. 6th highest in the KP era and our 3rd game this season with a top 10 team record in efficiency
