They will absolutely play hard that game . Half their team was supposed to be here this year.
Right on cue: the recipe for a team turmoil is brewing at Arkansas.
- Thread starter Son_Of_Saul
- Start date
Have watched two of their games thus far. Curiosity killed the cat, if you will.
1 - Boogie is a ball hog. Takes awful shots, too. But perhaps he feels the need to do it all.
2 - Wagner is the same player. He clearly peaked in high school and appears destined for the G League at this point.
3 - Knox is irrelevant. Forgot he was on the team while watching both games.
4 - Big Z would do GREAT at UK this year. It is what it is. Same goes for Thiero but both have obvious reasons to remain loyal to Cal.

Half their team are former players or were committed to play here so that’s a factor too .
Its funny but Cal always tried to play if off like Dj was a good shooter who was going through a rough stretch lmao. Like how long of a stretch does it need to be for us to just say maybe he shouldn't be shooting. Cal always tried to justify Wagner getting minutes. He's a dawg!!
Personally I have little interest in Cal but I still pull for all SEC teams against other conferences.
You serious, Clark?? I'm sure Cal wants to win. I'm sure it'd be one of the happiest days of his life. Why? Because he'd rather blame the bennies for his current situation that take ANY accountability for it.
Anywho, I'm sure Cal will put a lot of effort into the game. So much so, that he might even watch a few min of film, and use a in-game timeout. It's appearing that he A) doesn't have the players to beat Kentucky, and B) it looks pretty obvious who will win the coaching battle. I have ZERO faith Cal will have that team ready or capable to win that game in Rupp.
Maybe, but his desire to win didn't help him against Oakland, St. Peter's, Wisconsin, Auburn, Kansas State, or any of the other numerous teams that punked him in the tournament with considerably less talent.
It didn't help him the last four Champion's Classics either.
I think Kentucky could conceivably massacre Arkansas in that game. Our players will be just as motivated to win for Pope as Cal's will be to win for him. Plus, our guys will have a chip on their shoulder. Calipari is the type of coach who would never have recruited any of our guys (except for Perry, who would have never been a rotation guy in Cal's diva-driven system).
I could see UK winning this game by 10+ points.
Our crowd will be out for blood. So will our players.
