I have no idea why people think Cal slowed things down.
KU changed their D and it had a major effect on our offense.

Nope I was upset when Self made adjustments and took that approach completely away and yet Cal still tried pounding a square peg in a round hole.
If you haven't noticed yet, he's stubborn to a fault and does not walk on water.
See Wisconsin last year for an even worse and infamous example.
Wrong. It's funny how we can play D without fouling 4 guys out everywhere else but not at KU. This game wasn't called the same on both ends and it dam sure wasn't called in the second half the way it was called in the first.
Good game cats, finish off conference play strong.
Stupidest post in a history of stupid posts. Simply put for a simple human, they are completely blown out in regulation minus Ulis. Annihilated!
True. But, better than 2-1 free throw disparity didn't help either. Add to that, Cal going conservative and you get a L.
This, class, is called confirmation bias. It's for simpletons. It produces the kind of people who genuinely don't see the pattern when they insist year after year that the backup QB is the best on the team.
If no matter how well your guy performs, you're always looking at the mistakes and announcing that (insert alternative method here) is clearly superior, you are a simpleton.
It's amazing how many goldfish-ass people we have who don't understand Cal's monsterous record in close games and only remember the relatively few Ls.
obviously "we" didn't watch the game - at least that's what I was told
I know who you're talking about
Regardless - I am proud of our Cats. I think they have turned a corner and will finish out the season well
The refs may not be the blame but they totally changed the game after the no call on Ullis being mugged and then giving mason that three.
Kansas fouled like crazy in first half. So, you think it's on the up and up they could all of a sudden guard in the 2nd half. They've been a terrible defensive team just about all season. They won that Oklahoma game the same way they did this one. 8 on 5.
You might have a case if it was specific to this game. But we've had this issue all year long.
When does it not become about the refs and becomes hey these guys can't play D without fouling. Lee, Poy, Skal.......they are fouling machines. It doesn't seem to matter who the refs are
Proud of our guys. We made some mistakes but the effort was there. The officiating was not friendly toward us, but we knew it wouldn't be.
if we had all of our players i think the outcome would be different. Kansas wasn't catching do that Kansas switch defense us without free throws. Plus to the morons blaming our coach for slowing it down, he didn't slow it down they switched defenses, and we had less players in there so they cramped down on the players of ours who were playing decent Murry and Ullis.
Kansas switched to that zone and took Murray and Ulis out. The other three defenders could pack the paint because we had nobody capable of hitting a jumper. Willis foul trouble/fouling out hurt us here.
I guess this will give them a reason to drop us from the Top 25 next week.
We had 9 seconds to get a shot to win. Everyone and their mama knows we aint winning in OT. We had time. Tyler either shoots or let's Murray drive the ball. cal calls a play and it just didn't work. He called the wrong play, but I can't complain. We should have won in reg despite the atrocious refs and the home court advantage. We should have won this game in reg. That's all.
We'll be fine.
I'm actually more positive about this team after this game than I was before. This was always gonna be tough. We took them to OT. Before our guys starting fouling out we basically controlled the game.
I'm proud of this team. I think we will go far in March.

Even with Cal's poor performance it's hard to get beyond us having 4 guys foul out while Kans-ass still has all their starters at the end of the game. Not meant for UK to win this game. Predetermined.
Always good to get the opinion of someone who has played the game and just not a couch potato.
No Cal has no issues with free throw shooting.
None.
We will he then when they matter.
That's it??? Boy you're pathetic at this but you keep thinking you're something. Run up stairs and tell mama how bad ass you are.
I played football in college. I coach high school ball.
I know well enough to understand Cals rep as a floor coach is well deserved.
Go pump on a poker.
I agree with this 100%. But, when Cal sat Murray in OT, and left Briscoe on the floor to drive the ball over and over, we were doomed.
Hack a Shaq all over again.
Obviously they have never seen a triangle and 2. Can't blame Cal for that though -- he is only the coach...
So prouD of our team tonight. 47 free throws is too much for anyone to overcome.
We proved we're legit

The problem is that no one else is prepared to come into the game at the end and score or get tot he line. In a typical game you might take him out and put in Skal or Lee, but they had both fouled out. So then where do you turn? Oddly enough Cal chose Hawkins. I think this was a terrible idea. Mulder, IMO, should have been the choice considering that Mulder has actually played recently and at least does a good job of getting rebounds and hustling. Hawkins has value as a defender, but he did not help us in this game with 3 missed 3s and a couple defensive lapses.
I probably ought to get off this thread before I say something I don't mean - and destroy any illusions that I'm a lady
I am proud of our guys tonight win or lose.
So....pffffffttt
