Honestly none of ours guys ever get it wide open on a kick .
The lack of “wide open” 3s for this team is alarming .

Wrong. Cal just doesn’t use the weapons he has. Throws the ball to the post every possession. That or some iso BS.
I think this is more about early season execution. And you can't expect a team to play well when it's best player goes out.
I just don't understand Cal. He recruits long, fast, athletes that are at their best when they're flying up and down the court. Yet, he continues to play this slow, muck it up offense where we don't even start our offensive sets until there's like 15 secs or less on the shot clock. Let them fly up and down the court and play basketball. I'm so tired of seeing our guards holding the ball out front and having to try and make a play late in the clock.
Cal is the worst coach in D1 in the last 4 minutes of the game. Absolutely ridiculous!
The game started with just passing it around and around the court. I have no idea why he thought it was smart to start the game without Wheeler and Oscar. The only offense his teams have is out running the opponent up and down the court. Cal offense tonight was offensive to anyone who knows anything about basketball. The team came out for the second half doing exactly the same as in the first half.
The two defensive possessions to close out regulation and the first OT were junior high level breakdowns, precipitated by missed free throws.
Where were the refs on those plays?
I know you are pretty objective, but come on, man. "Cal wasn't great" is an understatement. We ran nothing for our shooters. Nothing. I could have defended those cross screen actions myself. That stuff was mind-bogglingly simplistic.
Maybe they can launch another fund asking all of the fans to pay for it. Kind of what UK does after disappointing losses.
Never thought I'd see any coach waste more talent than Dean Smith. Cal is running away with that title. All mouth Cal.
EVERY damn one of you drank the cool-aid AGAIN... ST PET.. then a few recruits. then we beat some village teams on an Island.. Cals forgiven... were gonna win #9... then this. Don't worry though we got Wagner for next year so you yall can do it all over again.. Go ahead, check my posting history.. I haven't drank his damn cool-aid for 4 years now.
That’s Cals offense. He thinks every pass needs a drive.
Your open 3s that aren’t rebounds and kicks usually come from the 2nd or 3rd pass wth 1 or less dribbles.
The hockey assist so to speak…it’s a swing pass game not a pass…drive drive oass drive pass shoot it at the end of the clock game
Bad loss. But hopefully they will learn from it.
Free throws and turnovers killed us. But it's also missing Oscar in practice the last few weeks. Give them time to gel.
Frederick and Reeves need to drive more aggressively. Hopefully Damion gets up to speed soon too.

Fredrick will never get open looks in this offense.
Cal has his roster full of athletes thinking about their NBA stock.
Izzo has his roster full of grown men thinking about winning the game.

echoing what someone else told me….
wheeler should not be on the floor at the end of games. he can’t make shots and he turns it over. he can do a lot of good for you as a spark in the middle of the game by pushing the ball. he’s just not a good half court pf. don’t need to see it another year.

The practice facility isn't the problem. The problem is what goes on in the facility vs what should be going on.
The team was pretty much executing poorly across the board. Even Cason who was great defensively was also a little wild at times.. they seemed lost and like deer in headlights. WHat did we shoot 15 of 23 from the line?
You never need to win a game twice. Cal did just enough to get the win (or the talent of the players was enough), but the refs said "Nop, you're gonna be stripped of 8 to 10 points, figure it out from there.
That 4 on 5 call is historically bad. That call delfated the team and you could see it plain as day. ENough bad calls and a team gets lost.
I don't know, UL sucks really bad this year so...we have a chance at that one.
This .. we lost the game on 2 missed FT's and because we couldn't defend 2 OBB plays !!!!!!!!
Dog eyed berr faced pony soldier !!!
I disagree… he is one of the worst in-game coaches at any level…last 4,8,12,16….minutes. He literally rolls the ball out these past few years.
Why do you have this feeling? Are you sure it isn't gas because you certainly didn't see anything on the court that should make you believe anything other than we suck.
And Kansas with a chance to go up 1 more on the all-time wins list. But winning doesn't matter right? Get of here with that ******* bullshit neutering the standard of Kentucky Basketball with Cal now excusing these unacceptable losses. Same ones also said the NCAA was going to hammer them and UK up back up by default. Just stupid.

What does Cal say to these refs that pisses them off so much?
It seems like his tantrums have cost us a ton of games.
