"Round of 32 defense"

[Mike-McD]

Prediction:

After being called out by the broadcasters for having a crappy defense, Cal will run a zone for one play next game. Then, if we give up an easy basket, he'll bleat in the postgame "I ran a zone and we gave up a three so I switched back, BennieZZZ!" And if it's effective, he'll still switch back to M2M but won't say anything in the postgame.

I know it’s crazy but part of my brain was like “I wonder if Cal isn’t focusing on D so he can say “See! My way before was right!’”

I know that’s not true. But damn. There’s no reason for the D to be this bad. None.

He's done it before. In a postgame a season or two ago he did just exactly that. It's a way of deflecting criticism. Rather than do something about it.

We don't even have a round of 32 defense. It's more like we have a first round CBI defense.

Cal switched to a full court press at the 5 minute mark last night and we immediately got a turnover. Then SC switched to a multiple PG lineup because they didn't need points at that stage of the game, so the press faltered. If Cal had used it earlier in the game, it would have been much more effective.

COACHING MALPRACTICE.

No guarantees it would have been effective early. SC would simply have played the three PGs earlier. They were all three hot last night. It was just one of those nights. Keep in mind that Myles Stute was out….a starter who 2 years ago led the SEC in 3 point shooting at Vandy.

Was reading today Gotlieb talking to Goodman about UK. Goodman said we have three seven footers that should be able to protect the rim but they was out of position all night. Also said the rotations was bad.

Dang you Creed. Was gonna say we had a round of 32 NIT defense. You did me one better lol.

Cal wants to have the greatest draft class ever, and is hoping that it will happen through offense. If his guys get injured, then that's not happening. Hence the defense we're seeing from the kids who are slated to get drafted.

We have athletes, it's about wanting to. IMO.

Now now …simma down..it’s one freaking game. The sky is not falling.

 

[Big Foot 275]

UK is giving up 85 points a game in conference
which is last.
If they don't fix that it's another 10 loss season and an early exit from the tournament.

Like them both but Shep and Dillingham stay out of position on defense. They seem to go rogue.

THIS ! Defense requires effort, and great athletes often have to be coached into the effort part of good defense. The coach has to sell them on defensive effort. We obviously ain't gonna get that !

Condescending would be if I said “bless your heart.” I didn’t…..it is one game, and you will lose every now and then. But you will also remain a power and be a high seed in the tournament. So feel free to ban me for talking factual basketball Mr. CNN.
