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

[HavenRoberts87]

Refs have nothing to with us playing with no effort

 

[Hoskins21]

Is A&M even a NIT team? Pitiful!

 

[runt#69]

Somewhere along the way, during camp Cal, they totally forgot about the defense they were playing. They're going to have to get that defensive mojo back, quick. We can do it, but it sure is frustrating seeing how this game has played out so far.

Pick it up Cats, go big blue !

 

[HenryMuto]

Missing Alex right now big time.

 

[Bkocats]

I'm just at a loss right now.

 

[Bluest Member]

Lyles needs to glue himself to A&Ms guard that drives to the basket at will,there's where we miss Alex Poythress

Even if they do, that doesn't negate what's been going on. Lack of drive, lack of effort, no toughness from the bigs, no defense. That's every troubling.

Umm, last game.

 

[zannmann]

A&M just ran the weave, is Bobby Knight in the house?

 

[nodef14]

One thing I have notice in the struggles lately is that the refs are letting the teams play at the rim. We have struggled (and everyone will) to utilize our size because it is hard to finish inside. With our length Cal has taught our kids to try and defend without fouling and just block the shot. When you can get by with contact you don't have to have the length to be effective.

Maybe so. But, historically great teams don't do that. I don't like it.

 

[mrj-uk]

Only 6 down = Lets play

 

[HenryMuto]

6/13 from 3 point range

2/13 from 2 point range.......2/13 how is that possible ?

 

[crazyqx83]

Awful defense and getting doubled on the boards. How does that happen?

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Lyles is getting beat on every rebound and loose ball.

 

[Altro Cat]

A&M has one decent big and he is outplaying all of our guys.

 

[UKGrad93]

I thought it was a foul when you put your body on the shooter.

 

[3 fan]

Aaron way to slow going down the court. Got his ass blocked bad

 

[HenryMuto]

1/4 from the line not helping either not getting there and not making them when we do.

 

[ala_kat2]

Can the Harrisons make a layup please?

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Andrew misses a gimme layup right after Aaron misses a dunk.

 

[K-Town Kat]

Towns misses more bunnies than anyone ever.

 

[CatsRWild]

Towns bringing some fight..i like it.

Letting them play physical inside.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Hustle is picking up - this team hopefully will learn how hard they have to play every game.

 

[HavenRoberts87]

A&M player gotta hand on the ball

 

[crazyqx83]

These refs are a joke.

 

[Cawood86]

I an going to say this and it will be the first time. Maybe Cal could stop touring the NBA games and focus on this team.

 

[Altro Cat]

Towns picks up his offensive foul while trying to post up that he gets every game. Now all he needs is his normal goaltend.

 

[nodef14]

Brutal inside right now. Towns getting shoved in the back from the block to the foul line on the possession before they got him for a foul.

 

[wildcatdonf]

WCS looks like he is shooting a cement block sometimes.

[ukbowl2006]

Well, that was exciting - now blow them out please.

 

[Roe07]

A&M player goes over the back and mugs Karl Towns and no whistle.

 

[wromanp7]

We have 9 straight boards.

 

[stenchymouse]

What's the score?

 

[ala_kat2]

We'd be a lot better if our big men could shoot a 6 foot jump shot. Stein is a terrible shot and Dakari can't get off the floor.

 

[FilsonCat]

These refs are horse shit. A foul on Towns? Classic sec road screw job.

 

[K-Town Kat]

They're hammering our bigs.

Just raping them.

 

[rolaid]

LOL #5 trying to finish anywhere close to the rim...he can't make a floater or finish in transition. Now he will
