Stephen A Smith calls out Cal.....

Can't stand him but he's correct here. Loved the wrong guys hands comment too. Gotta give your guy with 30 those shots.
Cal made all the talking heads look stupid..........again.
They had been blowing that Cal smoke for weeks and he let another beginner coach on training wheels outcoach him when it matters the most.

I wouldn't say TT coach out coached him, Cal just out coaches himself.
Seth wouldn't know much about adjustments. After all, he only has one tournament win in his entire career.
Same thing. A HOF coach should eat a first time NCAA tournament coach alive. But, it is not like the TT coach didn't make multiple adjustments to come from 16 down in the 2nd half.
For one thing, he never lost his poise while Cal gagged again.
What I meant was the loss is more on what Cal did wrong than what TT did right. Which honestly is typical of Cal and his choke jobs.
For instance, the Duke win was more on what Pope did right to out coach Scheyer with those epic adjustments.
Steven A: Why no Timeout?
Seth: Because that’s something they do.
Me: Huh?

Me: Huh?
I can't wait to watch this and see Seth dance around!
Seth looked extremely uncomfortable up there. I wish Stephen A said this statement - "last night was the reason Coach Cal was ran out of Kentucky"
Seth's baloon got busted and a clown is not happy without his balloon.
Seth was sooooo ready to give BBN the middle finger over his old buddy Cal and rub it in on national TV when Cal made the FF this year, and Cal losing forced him to stick it somewhere else.
Seth is quiet to save that Arkansas summer camp counselor money he expects to get from Cal.
This board cracks me up. 99% of the time SAS comments here are complaining about how dumb he is, but as soon as he says something everyone agrees with he's amazing.
Should have been honest. Cal lost the same way he has ALWAYS lost. Let’s not pretend this was a one off. He choked. He almost choked away the 2012 national championship. Was Stephen afraid Seth would cry if he insulted the man whose ass is his favorite to kiss?
I don’t think anybody is saying he’s amazing, he just happens to be right about this. An annoying blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
Cals problem is that he is too loyal to certain players. Davis had 30 points and Karter Knox was red hot all game. His loyalty to DJ and his dad outweighed what was best for the team. We saw that many times at UK where loyalty to a certain player meant doing something that wasn't in the best interest of the entire time.
well, technically Cal did call a timeout during the TT run.
he just didn't call a time out with under 10 seconds left
Wagner taking a 17 foot shot as time expired was probably option 15 of what he would have told them to do during a time out.
Just because "that is what Cal does" doesn't make it acceptable. Its common coaching practice to call a time out in that situation, and given Cal's last 5 years, he shouldn't be given a pass on his decision to not do it.

The spacing Arkansas had on the floor for last shot was classic Cal. Two guys in lane cluttering it up, two guys for logo threes, and DJ with deep 2. DJ needed dudes in lane out of there and crashing boards after he drove. He couldn't drive though because of clutter.
This guy claiming open teammates is mistaken. I guess one player that was deep drug his defender in as well.

Stephen A is your 2028 Democratic nominee for president. I expect a Smith/ Crockett ticket.
Well, blind squirrel and all that. He’s certainly not amazing
I don’t like SAS either and most of the time his takes are of the wtf variety
But this time he was correct..,and he’s a well known talking head. So…
This was a totally shocking and completely unpredictable collapse said no one on this board ever. Suck it Arkansas.
This is interesting. You think it’s accurate? They going to force him out?
Not sure why he would leave. His 'coach' just let him take two potential game winners.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I see both sides of the argument here. It didn't help that all four of DJ's teammates just stood and ball-watched either, essentially doing absolutely nothing to get open or help him out.
Yeah only Johnell Davis was open but they were all out of sorts which is why you call the timeout there to get it in Davis hands .
I could see if this was a back and forth offensive game and you let them go but that wasn’t the case .
Pope would have called a time out. He also would have fouled the other team before they had a chance to shoot the 3 to tie the game.
Cal can't coach when the game is on the line. SIXTEEN point lead! 😂
You're right about his teammates though.
Stephen A Smith is a loudmouth, arrogant with noting to back it up, and just plain annoying. I turn off the volume whenever he's on. Our next President? When pigs fly.
Take this to the hog board this is Kentucky not Arkansas board thanks 👍
yea, after seeing that twitter post this morning. I went back and watched All the Arkansas players knew who was taking the shot and what was going to happen, and they were all standing around watching it.
Cal's favoritism has cost a lot of games over the years. Last night was just another example
Arkansas was kicking ass all game and DJ looked decent. Decided that watching Cal and Duke win wasn't worth my time and stopped paying attention. Finally looking at my parleys about midnight I noticed what happened and would have liked to seen it. We have our own situation brewing hours from now and not gonna say alot about Cal until we handle business or get dealt with. Gonna be a war and I would suspect our guys are ready.
I feel sorry for Arkansas, they got close but the coaching was about what we all expected...
IIRC during Gonzaga game, Dykes commented that Pope told him he wouldn't foul up 3, would just trust his players.
