********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[TheWyldKat]

If we don't get pj back we will have no low post presence.

 

[hotelblue]

the zone is officially shit

 

[CatPhight]

P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C

 

[JoeBeeHall]

So will the polls stay the same since everyone lost ?

 

[kybassfan]

How stupid is it to keep playing zone when it doesn’t work? There was never even a need to go to it in the first place. Cal just isn’t smart, period.

Yet he’s infinitely smarter than you.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Cal must be letting them play zone so everyone will shut up about zone

there could not be a worse display of zone defense than this shit

Hahaha. This was my thought exactly. What a pathetic display of a zone. They’ve done the same play about 12 times and every time our guys wonder what the hell happened.

 

[morgousky]

Cal just coaches so bad sometimes.

The zone is being eaten alive they CAN'T PLAY IT OPEN YOUR F'n EYES

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

The frustrating thing about this group is knowing they are better than this bullshit. If you don’t care, PLEASE leave and practice on your own to play for the Flint Tropics or whatever NBADL team you’re destined for

 

[LouievileKat]

Why the zone. It’s so bad!!!

Sadly our guys are worse at man to man

 

[MbergCat]

Vols had a good game plan for second half. Really kicking our @ss.

Great gameplan. Have the refs take over and cripple the Cats.

 

[The_Answer1313]

What is the point of staying in the zone here? What the heck

 

[WildcatFan60]

So will the polls stay the same since everyone lost ?

No, we drop out of the Top 25, and Duke goes to #1.

 

[jameslee32]

Everyone just needs to lower their expectations. As others have said, we don’t have the talent or basketball IQ to make waves this year. Not only are we not getting the top 5 recruits, but many of our 4 and 5 stars were overrated. You can make up for that, but the low IQ you cannot make up for.

Not sure what you're watching. Every player not named Brad has shown me something.

They look clueless that's for sure. UT is shredding the zone...which is silly.

 

[Old_Red]

This will be three straight losses at Tennessee. All three of them Barnes is the coach at UT.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Yet he’s infinitely smarter than you.

I mean, he has a point. This zone sucks and hopefully our fans will shut up about it.

 

[TheAnonymous13]

We will switch out of this timeout.

 

[bookerfan66]

This is painful to watch.

 

[crazyqx83]

8 point halftime lead to getting blown out by 20 thanks to ****ing Bullshit corrupt refs. I am tired of this shit. These assholes need to answer for their corruption.

 

[$Z71$]

Our guys look winded. All hands down on the zone defense instead of outstretched and just plain getting bet on the first step. Worst D we have played all year this second half.

 

[wccat2969]

Knox can't shoot, play defense, can't create off of the dribble, weak with the ball, doesn't appear to want the ball or the shot. YEP! I say he will leave for the NBA.

 

[bluebayou01]

Yet he’s infinitely smarter than you.

FOUL TROUBLE!! That’s why we’re playing zone!

 

[bluebornwildcat]

3's and dunks are what I'm seeing from our zone defense. It is what it is.

 

[catben]

Outscored by 19 this half.

Sad.

 

[crawfords corner]

It's clear that when the leader of the team is having an off game that the only other guys that are capable of leading this team are PJ and Quade right now. They cant do it all themselves.

 

[zannmann]

Barnes owns Cal. Ball game.

 

[Ripcord65]

I don't think it was any of the idiots on this board who made the team play zone tonight.

 

[fatguy87]

Cal just coaches so bad sometimes.

The zone is being eaten alive they CAN'T PLAY IT OPEN YOUR F'n EYES

With Gabriel and Washington out and the zone playing so poorly, I wonder if Cal has thrown in the towel tonight.

 

[bigc45157]

Everyone wants the zone ...

 

[KyLegacy]

This second half is a train wreck.

 

[morgousky]

Wasting so much time sitting back in a zone.

Cal, what the FU*K

 

[TheWyldKat]

Clinic being put on by Tennessee! Out coached? Out hustled? I dunno but I know the first half was a ball to watch. Uhh 2nd not so much..

 

[rolaid]

Why so extended in zone..pack it in

 

[The_Answer1313]

We will switch out of this timeout.

It's too late

 

[loublue22]

tennessee is going to get destroyed at rupp though

 

[ZaytovenCat]

As has Steve Alford

It’s nothing special anymore. A bunch of coaches have made him their bitch.

 

[Skyguyb27]

This is like some BCG shit up in here tonight.

 

[bbncal02]

We’re done tonight folks.

 

[TheKentuckyKid]

We should just inbound and hold the ball until the shot clock runs out as a way to protest refs. Make the ncaa acknowledge the issue and respond.

 

[morgousky]

Everyone wants the zone ...

No sir, never asked for it.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Disaster again in Knoxville
