Wait, Reed said this to Cal? Or in typical fashion did you add “Cal” to the title to kick the ant pile? I’m confused.

That’s what happens with one and done‘s. Playing for that first round league $$.
I thought that too then noticed he had 7 assists. His shoots just weren’t falling and he was pressing a bit.
He can get us really out of whack at times with his shot taking but I’ll say this about the A&M game since I was there. The entire team was passive and didn’t want the ball. It might have been different if we actually ran anything besides a high pick and roll but we didn’t. And we were overall the least agressive team I saw there on defense.
DJ shot the 3 ball well enough at Rupp, 37%
Didn't shoot it great at neutral sites and was extremely awful on the road. 4/13- neutral. 4-25 on the road.

Agreed I hate the bashing some of these guys who seem to be good teammates .
They all have definitely deserved criticism at times this year but people go overboard on here .
Yes, actually I was just pointing out what everyone here knows which is that Cal does not actually do any real coaching. The team and players make the same mistakes all year long.
I would like to see one of the videos that you mentioned. Where could I find them?
He does foul too much, but I think some of the knocks on him are overblown. His assist/TO is almost 2/1. He’s fourth among the regulars in TS %, behind only Reed, Z, and Antonio. All of these guys are elite in that respect.
He isn’t perfect, and maybe we need perfect to win a title. Especially with our defense. But I honestly think the foul issue is the only “real” issue most games. I also think he’s the kind of kid you can correct and re-direct during the course of a game.
DJ, btw, easily has the lowest TS % among the regulars.
Also I’ll be glad when the term hero ball dies . It’s not the players fault that Cal offense has no creative
They have been some the most inconsistent players on the team. Any coach with amateur experience would make a rotation limiting there mins.
OP is the king of starting a thread that doesn’t tell the entire story or link to anything. Just picks and chooses the little bits he wants to put in the thread.
Exactly, he picks low hanging fruit taken out of context and throws in a misleading Cal mention to attract likes from the Cal hater crowd.
Dilly was the only one showing any balls that game FR. I didn’t like him trying to win it but nobody was aggressive the last 7 minutes but him. Reed looked like he just wanted to pass the ball honestly.
To make a deep run in the tournament, Cal needs to make 3 "tweaks" (1) Only Reeves, Sheppard and Dillingham have the green light to shoot.
(2) If your name is not Reeves, Sheppard or Dillingham you need to rebound, play defense, and pass the ball to Reeves, Sheppard or Dillingham.
3) If ANYONE passes the ball to Onyenso, immediately walk over to the bench and get comfortable.

Yeah. You’d avoid a lot of the confusion by just including the link for context to begin with.
Most well coached teams have pattern offense and set offense. The pattern offense each pass gives that player several options, but the key is, if you actually practice these patterns, everyone on the team has an idea as to what those options are and how to play it. Set offense is usually designed to get the ball to a specific player in specific area because of a mismatch. Which UK does neither of these.
I love me some Dilly, but I'll call out his out of control drives and misses when he does it repeatedly over a four minute stretch
I didn't see it as shying away. I saw it as the team leaning on him as their best player.
I think what he says is correct. They’re not doing it for the name on the back. They’re trying to be a hero for their team to win. Not so they can be heralded as a hero.
Winning is the name of the game. I believe they all feel this way.
Edwards isn't costing us games, and he's actually improved throughout the season. Bradshaw played 2 minutes against aTm so he's effectively out of the rotation. I'm indifferent on Wagner. As long as he doesn't try to force threes and sticks to what he's best at like he did earlier in the season, we are a better team. but I think sometimes he just wants to try to prove he can hit threes like his teammates, when that's just not his strength. if he would stick to driving and dishing, he could average 8 assists per game.
Me and a bunch of other UK fans, apparently.
Feel free to "Ghost" me. I apparently had no clue when I said Reed needed to be the starting PG back in January (started a thread) or that we were better with Thiero than Mitchell (started a thread in early Feb).
Take care there, Art.
I can’t really think of one game that Dillingham has cost us with his erratic play .
He definitely hasn’t “ruined the momentum” of a game . When he’s struggled usually the entire team has struggled as whole.

I think if we are to win a title, Edwards playing to his potential will be key.
I didn’t like the body language of some of our players in the second half of this game and the end of the Tennessee game. Looked to me like some of them didn’t want the ball or be the guy that makes a play .
They have been inconsistent, DJ was good before injury, Edwards has gotten better. Bradshaw is like typical freshman
I love the kid. Heck every player on the team is likable. RD just makes me nervous sometimes!
We all like him, but he's a mess a lot of the time and some would rather just blame Wagner for everything.
Anyone needing irrefutable evidence refer to last game played. It's the truth in this that hurts lol. If this team wins the title they will damn sure be disobeying everything Cowface tells them.
He has wanted that so bad all year long like look Wagner went out there and won this game by himself you know that's what he'd be saying
