Who are these shooters that you're talking about ??Well we get most of our shooters from mid majors and lower power 5 teams who evidently had success in a much better offense. They rarely come here and are successful at the level the transfers are at other schools. They come here and are forced to get their own shots against much better opposition in this sh*tty offense. When they are open they probably have Cal in their head so much they choke.
But wait, offense isn't our problem. That’s what I keep reading on here.

Correction, 6They have 8 ranked teams, fellow Kentucky fan.
And Cal just stands there and gripes. Dude needs to get thrown out of a fiasco like thisThat was a foul, plain as day in Rupp arena, no call. Self has been in every Refs ear the whole night.
So? They're playing hack-a-shaq defenseFor everyone whining about the refs…
We have had 21 FT attempts.
Kansas has had 6.
Mic drop
So? What’s your point? You know how you counter that defense? It’s pretty easy. You either hit the easiest, least defended shot in all of basketball, or you get in the hands of someone who can hit them.So? They're playing hack-a-shaq defense
Expecting itEveryone ready for another first round tourney exit?
My point is that even though the FT disparity is on our favor, the refs still let Kansas get away with a helluva lot of shit, especially on Oscar.So? What’s your point?

This. And Cal is content to just let it continueWhy do people look at fouling discrepancy and conclude things like one team got a more favorable whistle?
Some teams don't foul as much as others on defense. This is a very real defensive skill.
Some teams force other teams to foul more on offense. This is also a very real repeatable offensive skill.
For the longest time under Cal we've had seasons where we have MADE more free throws than our opponents ATTEMPTED. That hasn't been the case in the last few years. But you cannot just look at a boxscore, see the difference in free throws and conclude one got a better whistle.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.See I don't really see that anywhere.
I think people have said that our defense is worse than our offense and it's a bigger problem. I don't know anyone can look at this year and say offense isn't a problem.
We don't have a good defense OR offense this season.
I think when people say offense isn't a problem, they are referring more to Cal's style of offense. Like we've had some really good offensive teams, even post 15. But nearly every single year, the defense has been worse. I think that's the main point. Offense certainly wasn't an issue last year.
There was a point in that second half of this game we were cutting into the lead but yet couldn't get just ONE stop on defense.
Sorry dude, you’re not gonna get me to go after the refs when we had a +15 FT disparity. Were there some bad calls? Yes, happens every single game.My point is that even though the FT disparity is on our favor, the refs still let Kansas get away with a helluva lot of shit, especially on Oscar.
Doesn't absolve Cal, though. If he were worth a shit, he'd have been tossed in the first half over some of the egregious calls missed.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
KU is an elite offensive team. We held them to 75 points and part of the reason they got to 75 is because we missed shots and they got runouts.
Do you understand what that means? Our poor shooting created runouts for KU.
We missed 7 free throws in the first half. Toppin lost his mind 4 times today and went into street ball mode and CJ went 0-5 from 3 point range.
CJ and Reeves both shot airballs, 7 turnovers in the 2nd half and Cal played Wheeler and Ware… .together… for long stretches. 2 non scorers.
If we hit those open shots and KU doesn’t get runouts off the bricks we shot, we win going away.
I'm telling you man, offense is our problem.
You can still win these games with an average defense, but only if you have a legit offense.
Hey, @The_Answer1313 , how many threes did we hit tonight?
You going to beat good teams only making two 3's, or no?
That's right, we hit two GD threes. But offense isn’t our problem. Hilarious.
I blame Cal as well, but just because we had a huge FT disparity doesn't mean we weren't hosed on the officiating. Oscar was mugged regularly with no calls. The foul on Toppin was particularly bad. Just counting fouls is no way to approach the assessment of how a game was calledSorry dude, you’re not gonna get me to go after the refs when we had a +15 FT disparity. Were there some bad calls? Yes, happens every single game.
If you think the refs had anything to do with the loss tonight we just will not find common ground. We just won’t.
Counting fouls and FTs is the only way to approach assessing how a game was called from an objective standpoint. Everything else is subjective.I blame Cal as well, but just because we had a huge FT disparity doesn't mean we weren't hosed on the officiating. Oscar was mugged regularly with no calls.

How many free throws, in your opinion, did we need in order to win?Exactly.
People look at free throws one team has more so they got the favorable calls.
When in actuality they could have very well been the team that deserved even MORE FREE THROWS.
When the chips are down and the opponent has a pulse, our offense always sucks.Well for starters you're talking about 1 game.
I'm talking about an entire season.
We are 28th on offense. 61st on defense. In conference games among other conference teams we are 5th on offense. We are TENTH on defense. There's 14 SEC teams and we are TENTH.
It's not to say 28th isn't crap. It's just to say that 61st to go along with the 28th isn't going to get the job done here.
We held an elite offense to 75 and that’s with some of our poor shooting creating runouts for KU.Again you're putting words into my mouth I never uttered.
I never said offense "wasn't the problem". I said it wasn't as big of a problem as the defense. Which is true.

Go all the way back to 2010 west Virginia.
This crap happens too many times with Cal's teams.
But, yeah, it is about this one game, know why? Because it was a massive game and we choked. You have to score to take the pressure off the defense.
We couldn't score against Saint Peters, so our defense was on it's heels the whole game.
The best defense, is a great offense. These kids need to get in the GD gym and learn how to shoot. Cal needs to put a program in place to make sure they put in the work, because it's clear it's not happening.
We held an elite offense to 75 and that’s with some of our poor shooting creating runouts for KU.
But when your offense doesn’t score, it puts more pressure on the defense. Every time our offense struggles, our defense gives up baskets.There was only 69 possessions.
Kansas was held under 1.11 13 times this season. So no, it was not some great defensive performance here. Thirteen teams this season out of the 21 total games they played managed better.
NIT??Everyone ready for another first round tourney exit.
Dude, you’ve got zero shameAll these pissers and whiners who never played ball Kansas played better UK nothing
To be ashamed of
