Not bashing u at all here but..... can u tell me ONE part of our game tonight that is acceptable for a UK team?
********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD*********
- Thread starter Wall2Boogie
- Start date
Lot of this has to fall on Lee and Poy . They were both terrible tonight. Both upperclassmen .
and it was back to 10 in about twenty seconds
good teams don't let that happen
I'm tellin ha man. Players like Delk and Lamb will make you. This upside "lanky defender" crap at the guard spot is bullsh--
We are lucky to have the Duke and UofL wins - without them, we might be an NIT team. Let's be honest, this team will struggle for road wins and LSU/Vandy at home will be challenging.
Let's hope this season is a learning point for Cal. Need more balanced recruiting, and we need reliable shooters.. He's still a 9.5/10.. But he can't be safe from some criticism from time to time.. This is just a down year for him, and probably his worst game.
On the bright side, we can't rebound or score in the paint!
K was stubborn and played us straight m2m the entire game instead of playing zone like every one knows to do.
In short I guess coach k had a senior moment?
You do realize he also recruited Brown and Newman and Ingram. Do you honestly think he seeks out bad shooters?
no brawlers on this squad...
all the talent, athleticism, and skill in the world...no fighters, no killers...
I know Cal likes to say "be an athlete"...sorry, but we have that in spades...we need somebody who's going to knock your granny around and step on your throat...
it is what it is...
right now...maybe a sweet 16 if we get a favorable path...

I agree but the talent is there. They have beaten good teams unless they completely fall apart football style they'll be in the big dance. Maybe a 8/9 seed but in regardless.

I love Cal and I'm his biggest defender, but he was just out coached my Johnny Jones.
Probably the second game I've ever turned off early. I just couldn't take anymore of it. We took a step forward against ole miss, but about 10 steps back tonight. Very frustrating. I knew a lose was very possible, but that performance was horrible. All I can hope is that this game lights some type of fire under their collective asses. They got embarrassed, we had our jr and sr sitting on the bench most of the game...our two best defenders at that. We just looked completely lost.
I still don't think Jones is a good coach, but he was ready for this game. We got out coached and out played, it was hard to watch. Give credit to LSU, at least we get them one more time.

Way to go Cats, way to go down there and get just embarrassed - but, that's the way it's going to be this year.
He has a history of this dating back to 2006. Good shooters might not want to play for him? Is that it?
AAU circuits and parents find out early In the recruiting orocess that he doesn't value shooting. They know it's true and that's the issue. That's why we lose pure shooters like LK even when they are HUGE UK leans. Cal can't even pull them then.
It's a problem I'm sorry.
I get sick of watching the same defense even if it doesn't work. What would be the harm on occasionally changing up defense to at least force the opposing team to spend time trying to identify it. We keep doing the same things expecting different outcomes. We seem to win only when we have way more talent than our opponent. That will not be the case too many times this season. There was no rhyme or reason for his this team was assembled other than a collection of mostly 5 and some 4 stars.
Yeah i think we often forget that he missed on basically all the 1's 2's and 3's he wanted except for Briscoe. He kinda just made due with what he was able to get. Murray was like in the 20's in next years class.
I'm not sure what the answer is but Cal will obviously need to make some big changes if this team is going to be competitive. Right now nothing seems to be working.
