Agree, he can’t shoot and his mind seems to be somewhere else.
We’re better without Hagans

I honestly think he is overrated as a defender as well. Getting steals does not make a defender. Was in the wrong position multiple times tonight.
He's just not at a level where he can make enough good decisions to win you a big-time game. The ball sticks in his hands on offense, he can't shoot, he can't finish, and he'll throw 3-4 random passes a game that leave you scratching your head.
He needs to either play off the ball (I know, not the most promising thing given the lack of offense) or be a backup. I don't think it's an over-exaggeration at this point or an overreaction. Juzang spaces the floor so much better in an already clogged halfcourt with two bigs in the lane most of the time. He lost us this game. Plain and simple. I hate to rag on him, but the game changed when he came back in. I'd be curious to see his plus/minus in this one. It has to be horrible.

Watched him pout and sulk on the bench...then come in and turn the ball over and quit on defense and watch UT score

Barnes calls a timeout and runs the white kid off a screen and Ashton is trailing by 3 steps. Surprised me he didn’t shoot the layup. Then he comes down and loses the ball for the backcourt violation.
Juzang set the whole second half and we let Hagans & Richards suck it up
Juzang was plus 9 in the game
Set the whole second half so his boy could get 15 minutes

I love how yall pile on the guy. The team quit playing before he came back in, the momentum was lost before he came back in. While we are speaking to the lead going away, Hagans had 1 TO and 1 steal the rest of the game. Maxey had 2 turnovers, and Maxey and Quickley missed a bunch of shots. Hagans isnt the reason we lost, the entire team is at fault. They all quit playing.
1 turnover???? He had 2 within two plays under 2 minutes.
Another guy who isn't happy is Brooks. He and Hagans both were pouting tonight.He’s jealous of the pick nick/pick quick and feels he’s being left out. Maxey was dominating the whole game with Ashton on the bench, he comes back in and the 17 point lead disappears due to his selfish takes and bonehead turnovers.
TO at 7:33 left, and 1 at :39 left. Didnt include the one at :39 because the game was already over, and the 17 point lead was gone. Look, I didnt say he played well, he didnt. But he isnt the reason we lost. The whole team quit like they thought a 17 point lead was insurmountable with 16 minutes to play. They gave up 47 points in 17 minutes, most of which was Pons and Fulkerson, not 2 guys Hagans was guarding.
For totally different reasons I’m sure. I thought brooks and juzang were playing well and can’t recall seeing either in the second half. Hmm wonder why dudes transfer so much from here.

Maybe we should run a campaign for Hagans based on his layup and 3 point attempts - #PickBrick.
Brooks was playing pretty solid. Then he took a shot to the mouth. I don't think he returned after that
Brooks and juzang both were nowhere to be seen while the others stunk it up. Typical cal shitting down his leg when things get tight.
You cant just not count turnovers? Makes no sense. He lost the ball at half court when we were down 4 for a backcourt call and got in the air and threw a pass to viscovie, instead of to Richards.
Run down of the end of game. We are down two he misses a three. Tennessee time-out. He gets burnt on a cut leading to ponns 12 footer. Then gets the backcourt violation directly after that play.
Hagans will get us knocked out b4 the final four. He needs to stand in the corner like EJ on offense.
Nah, it’s all about the last Thursday in June.
Crazy because Hagans played a fairly solid game against Auburn. He played pretty much the complete opposite tonight.
Cal “forgets” about guys late in games a lot. Once we got down 4 late in game and offense was going nowhere, why not put Sestina and Juzang in and give the team a chance to shoot a 3? UT was not letting Quickley near a 3-pt shot, and we didn’t run anything the last 10 minutes to get anyone an open look. (Except Hagans, who UT was hoping would jack one or two up)
Brooks took a blow to the head/mouth Im pretty sure didn't return. Juzang was about as good defensively as Richards was tonight. UK had 4 players play solid D. Only Maxey played well offensively other than when Juzang shot it well in the first half.
Yea, don’t play juzang who’s shooting great because defense. Not like we gave up 50 in the second half or anything. Oh wait
I never thought Hagans 3 point percentage would actually go down from the 27% he shot last season and it has. Down to 40% from the field too. Indescribably terrible
You park Hagans ass on the bench with big leads. I’ve said this for 3 weeks. It’s not hard. Hagans will not play by team concepts. He’s going to end our year.
keep f’n with it cal, it’s gonna cost you.

He doesn’t need to transfer. Thing is just know your role. NBA teams would notice a player if they played within themselves. He just needs to learn to let the game come to him. Be a facilitator.
If he doesnt get his haircut by sec play
It aint gonna happen
It aint gonna happen
Briscoe was so much better. He was an incredible finisher.
Dont even slander briscoes name like that
Briscoe would dominate Hagans.
Well if hes refusing to play and fighting with teammates, then yeah.
Very puzzling how Juzang torched UT in game one and was on the court for much of the 1st half of game two where we built an 11 point lead, but got precious little time in the 2nd half.
Has Cal explained what he was seeing that no one else saw?

One of cal’s biggest downfalls (see baker /hagans in elite 8 last year, harrisons against wisky). He trusts his “guys” a little too much.
