What else must Cal need to do now

[warrior-cat]

Continue to win games when you have more talent than the other teams. Instead of losing to the LSU’s and first weekend of the tourney. We sunk so low that you think we need to hang a banner for tonights win.

This.

There seems to be some here that are too young to remember what UK is. We are college basketball (well, we were) and anytime we went anywhere to play was like the Superbowl for that team. We expected to win every game and that attitude helped us do so most of the time. In recent years however, we have lost a lot of that swagger and most here want it back. 2 in a row after only winning 6 of the last 12 before that while being a step in the right direction, is not enough to raise expectations given Cals flops in recent years. Let's see how he does in the next few weeks.

 

[yes_takeaside]

He hasn’t done anything yet. But there’s still a chance.

 

[TankedCat]

OP, get ready to be blasted.

This board just can’t enjoy a nice, exciting win without belittling someone.

don't start none, won't be none

He could start the right players. I'm just pulling that outta nowhere.

He does start the right players

Win the SEC Tournament AND get back to the Final 4 THIS YEAR!!!!

Play Z MUCH MORE, until he begs to come out of games. He's progressing much quicker than the other bigs. It's not even close. Let AB and Ugo fight for what's left over, maybe one of them is paying attention to Z and learning from him?

Play Z, start Shep, stop starting Wagner

Do you really refuse to enjoy a good win?

You need to realize one of the mysteries of this entire forum . I'll say it loudly TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME !!! I loved last night , I texted a lady that made us some pickles and told her " I'm eating your good luck pickles , we are going to win this one " at the start of half 2 .. I totally got my jollies watching Reed shred them . Such a heady great player , but there were many frustrations along the way , we were getting SCREWED by the refs again , they were playing football and we couldn't even fight back , and cals substitution pattern was once again .. bizarre at the least . It's still frustrating , where would we be if he plays Dilly , Reed , Adou , Shep and Big Z , and forgets his love affair with Wag, and Edwards . Yeah sub them in when needed but the guy played Robert Dillingham , yes that piece of offensive dynamite , 4 min in the 2nd half at LSU .. 4 minutes . He left Z on the bench and played AB the last , 2.5 minutes , after 2 timeouts where Z had plenty of time to recover from being winded . And goes back to to Ugo after he does something entirely stupid and cant stop a guard shooting a layup . While Z sets . Its maddening. But yes I loved beating them , even though they played their A plus game . And dilly basically didnt play the 1st half . You enjoying this BBB , it's called discussion. ?
If you want listen to Rah rah Rah, ain't we great, there is a Facebook page for it , go hang out there .

Win in march?

 

[Thats An Awful Idea]

Keep doing what he has been doing the last 4 games. LSU was more execution issues and getting complacent when we got a lead. Otherwise, we have been really good.

Do not listen to the Bennies and start a guy who is 1-4 as a starter. Start the guy that is 19-4 as a starter and make adjustments as needed.

 

[JC CATS]

He has the players

He’s needs to play the best players and the best combinations

The not best players need to come in only to provide rest and not during crunch time

He needs to make his focus winning every game here on out and forget draft status or draft concerns

He can do this. The big question is will he

I sure hope so

These players can play with anyone.

So play the best players and not play the not best players. Have you coached a D1 program, because that is great advice

 

[Beach_Cat]

Beat TN !!!

 

[know1]

Same as always. Put the program first and do some actual prep, coaching, strategy, development instead of sitting around doing nothing.

Didn’t take you long to show up and proclaim Cal king. I will admit that I am at least happy he is finally doing many of the things the “Bennie’s” been saying for awhile. Little late but I will take it.

Isn’t it amusing how the Cal defenders (and Cal himself) want to puff their chest out when improvements are made….all the while ignoring that the improvements (style of play, 3guard lineups, 4 out, roster management/playing certain guys and limiting min for others) are all the things that the so called Bennies had been complaining about needing to happen.

It’s like they take it that the improvement is a “see, why were you complaining” instead of proof the complaining was justified and change needed to happen significantly earlier if it’s so obvious 3/4 of the fanbase can see it one month into the season.
