Briscoe kills this team on offense. Timid Alex is back tonight. Mulder should have been playing more all year.
For all the crap that Skal gets, I don't understand why Briscoe doesn't get the same heat. I don't know what in the world is wrong with his shot but it needs fixed ASAP.
I'm as frustrated as anyone - and kinda sick about the first half
However, a good half of the posters on this thread said they thought we'd lose this game; many had this circled as a loss early on.
Not sure what's going on - I agree that it's mental; if we had been giving half the effort we did against Ole Miss 1st half then we'd be up, or at the very least tied.
And no, it's not the officiating (couple of blown calls, but nothing that really explains what's going on)
Oh well, another half to play - gotta watch it and hope we see last week's team come in and play.

UK has never won a game under Cal when trailing by at least 10 at the half (0-11) per @bigbluehistory on Twitter.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it just feels that way.
Skal's struggles? Mental weakness.
Inconsistencies of Poythress? Mental weakness.
Briscoe's FT% dropping nearly 35% since he was in high school (last year)? Mental weakness.
Ulis' struggles from the 3PT line? Mental weakness (which is bizarre, because mentally, he's one tough little SOB).
Jamal Murray's terrible turnovers and inconsistencies from the floor? Mental weakness.
I don't think it's mental
either 1) These kids just need more time. Like normal freshman. or 2) They just aren't as good as their HS rankings suggested.

I would like to think we will play a helluva lot better the 2nd half. We have the players to make this happen. Play hard with energy and make a few shots!
In all fairness it doesn't happen that often. Only time we are down that much is either on the road or when we are playing one of the worst games ever. Unfortunately both are happening tonight.
I would too. He grabbed a couple boards and hit a 3. The other 3 was in and out....and he can hit his FTs at least

2011/2013/2014 revisited. This stuff takes time. There will be pain on the road but I'll tell ya, we're in this game!
Alex should be ashamed of himself after that half. A senior playing scared like that when he's needed so much?
One of those things is not like the others.
Mulder should play over most of our team right now. He rebounds, he's playing with effort, he's making his shots.
Just now caught up on DVR. This game the basically the opposite of the Kansas-Oklahoma game last night. Doo doo butter basketball.
Haven't even got to watch Ben Simmons beat us so far.
Anyway, second half had to be better ... let's go.

Not sure what you're watching. Seemed rather calm like he has a secret weapon when interviewed.
I'm all about the cats but we don't look like a team Vieing for a championship. Do you think so?
Im not sure it's even that. Every freshman except for Simmons, sometimes Ingram, and Diamond Stone have not lived up to their expectations. Basically this years class as a whole was a major dud
AP, Humphries also. These are not jump shooters but need to attack the paint.
Bad turnovers, bad passing, bad shooting, bad rebounding and only down 10??? LSU isn't playing much better.
We don't have one front court player who can create - not one. Lee looks stupid trying to make moves. We need to penetrate and get our bigs slashing.
