Getting the year 1 Reeves treatment before Cal was forced to play him significant minutes due to “injuries”Johnell has got to be beside himself playing behind DJ and Fland with less minutes and less shots...

Man, Arkansas fans have it bad right now. They don’t realize that Cal won’t get them anywhere near where Muss got them. They took a step backwards.Little bit different levels of competition though to be fair. Robinson’s conference shooting percentages have been pretty poor everywhere he’s been. Though I don’t think anyone doubts Kentucky will be a better shooting team overall for sure.
Hurts huh , lol .Give it up man. Cal isn’t here anymore. You can stop with the obsession
Leaves a TCU shooters wide open for 3 with like 20 seconds to go, bad passes in their final possession leads to an out of bounds play with 2 seconds to go, you already know its over when Cal has to draw up an out of bounds play to win with 2 seconds to go.
Fland gets a HORRIBLE look and it's not close. They lose by 1.
Edit : Arkansas with zero points in the last 3 1/2 minutes and shoots 29% from 3 with 14 turnovers lmao.
That’s normal for Cal and Davis should’ve seen that from 10 miles away. Nobody takes mins from Cal’s boys or Cal’s freshmen! He would’ve been useful on any other team and Pope would’ve used him to his fullest ability!Johnell has got to be beside himself playing behind DJ and Fland with less minutes and less shots...
I stand to be corrected. He downgraded his coaching staff. I guess he truly believes in trying to do more with less.He doesn’t have the same assistants . His best recruiter is at Illinois and he upgraded from Welch to Brad .
NEVER! Cal SUCKS at situational basketball!This is what you have to look forward to Arkansas fans. This exact scenario many times. They will never execute in the clutch.
There's that great non coaching uk has been treated too for some many years.

Doesn’t have too....his style is perfectionEvery day is Groundhog Day with Cal.
He simply doesn't have the ability to change.
But he can count his nil $Johnell has got to be beside himself playing behind DJ and Fland with less minutes and less shots...
Favorites get all of the minutesThat’s normal for Cal and Davis should’ve seen that from 10 miles away. Nobody takes mins from Cal’s boys or Cal’s freshmen! He would’ve been useful on any other team and Pope would’ve used him to his fullest ability!
He got just what he deserves. He chose to go with the money instead of considering a system and coaching staff that fit his skill set. I have no sympathy for players who wanted to play for Cal university.Johnell has got to be beside himself playing behind DJ and Fland with less minutes and less shots...
Didn't take long for you to post something negative and Bookerfan 66 to like it. You guys are gonna be fun this year
I bet these kids are told all sorts of things by different programs and its fans, but they'll NEVER listen. They've been put on a pedestal since they were little.That’s normal for Cal and Davis should’ve seen that from 10 miles away. Nobody takes mins from Cal’s boys or Cal’s freshmen!

Plenty of tired ass old Cal-isms in this one. Give the other team credit, needed a game like this, they're not machines and robots.
It could work given your username. You're busting the myth that Cal is a good coach.I’m to the point I don’t care to hear anymore about Calipari. And yeah, I need to find a new avatar.
Stop reading the posts. You didn't seem to mind reading about Cal after their KU win.I’m to the point I don’t care to hear anymore about Calipari. And yeah, I need to find a new avatar.
He has that I got my behind whipped again look on his face, but the Arky press gave him a pass on it, they are all love birds now...but that is "stuff"he spews out is just like the "stuff" they got to work on until his "culture " is in place

I’m not? I offered two facts then said Kentucky is the better shooting team.Please stop trying to offer excuses.
None of those compare to his ego in my opinion. Cal’s ego is a huge monster that outcoaches him every single time he faces it in any environment.
I wish Jaden Quaintamce would have went to Arkansas so they could have had the full effect relying on a 16 year old not close to being ready and hoping he would get there after 30 games.Same old Cal the best players in the country yet cannot win an exhibition game at home, glad he coaching at Ark and not Ky.
That is a pathetic turnout. Also how long until Cal realizes Big Z isn’t a post player. He’s never going to dominate position or be a defensive or offensive force positing up. He’s at his best marking help plays and roaming around the perimeter stretching the floor and using his passing. Typical Cal team can’t even knock down wide open shots.
Link to the someones cell phone recording of the game. The score is not shown much, occasional pan up to the board.
It wasn’t in Bud Walton FWIW, played in DallasSame old Cal the best players in the country yet cannot win an exhibition game at home, glad he coaching at Ark and not Ky.
But they still lost no matter where they played.It wasn’t in Bud Walton FWIW, played in Dallas
So question, Will we start to see more favorable whistles since Mark Pope is largely a very likable guy? will the refs start to screw Arkansas more now that they have Cal at the helm? Will that bode well for us in our game against them later this year?Arkansas could somehow get a 24pt lead on us in the 3rd quarter and I'd still be confident we'd be leading when the final buzzer sounds (well in our actual game in the SEC lets say 12 minutes to go in the game since we dont do quarters yet)
I think all of those type exhibitions have to be for Charity, both the Kansas and TCU game were. But I'm still unclear on what the rule is that allows the games to be played to begin with, and how often can teams do it?Wait. Why was this allowed?
It used to be that you could play two typical Div-2-or-lower teams and sell tickets.
OR, alternatively, you could choose to play ONE div-1 opponent in a “secret scrimmage,” behind closed doors, untelevised, and you couldn’t sell tickets.
Why does Arky get to play KANSAS and TCU BOTH and put both on TV?
If nothing else that’s unfair because think about the revenue. A TCU game or a KU game is going to get way better ratings than a Wesleyan or a Minnesota State Mankato Whatever That Is game. And obviously in the modern era higher TV ratings equals higher value ESPN contract equals more revenue which is surely all going into NIL.
And even if I’m guessing wrong about there being a difference in TV revenue, there’s still unquestionably a difference in ticket sales revenue. We had Rupp “mostly full” for our two exhibition games, is what I heard. Something like 20,000 seats filled. You know as well as I do Rupp would have been bursting at the seams if we’d played Kansas. And can you imagine what UKAthletics would have charged for that seat? Coz darned straight people would pay it.
How is that fair?
And if it is fair why didn’t we do this?
EDIT: Okay. I see the TCU game is a charity game. So that takes care of the revenue problem. Still not sure why they can put Kansas on TV or why we wouldn’t follow suit.
How many players was Kansas missing too? Did Hunter Dickinson play?Present. Lol gotta own up to it and acknowledge a bad loss in a scrimmage if we’re going to act like a Kansas scrimmage win has meaning too.
Only have five guys to practice? Who the hell's fault is that?I loved the "we only have 5 guys to practice". Lol. And, "we either win or we learn".
Arkansas fans better get used to a lot of "learning" if games are close in the second half.
A 13 point lead is not enough to overcome Cal's lack of coaching/preparation against the better coaches.
Wow. Those chicken farmers must have some seriously deep pockets if they’re offering all that NIL money AND blowing off 100% of the money they could be making for exhibition games.I think all of those type exhibitions have to be for Charity, both the Kansas and TCU game were. But I'm still unclear on what the rule is that allows the games to be played to begin with, and how often can teams do it?
Never liked the Calipari hire from the word go.Stop reading the posts. You didn't seem to mind reading about Cal after their KU win.
