not too big of a deal not angry about it or anything but why is skal taking those free throws before Mulder? Skal doesn't seemed poised for those kind of situations in the least. Truly feel like Mulder is a way better option in that situation. Don't understand why we went with skal.
Why didn't Mulder shoot the free throws?

Pretty sure Cal chose who replaces Humphries in the lineup, but Kennedy picked from those on the floor who shot the FTs. If Cal brought in Mulder, they probably would have chosen Briscoe. Surprised they didn't as it is.
Really strange take to assume Mulder, who has hardly played all year, is the better option there.
Yeah..............it's not as if Skal is a poor ft shooter.
70%
70%
Doesnt matter.... we still would of lost by 1 if both free throws were hit.
No, since it wasn't an injury only a disqualification, whoever Cal entered into the game for Humphries shoots those FT's. Otherwise Kennedy would have chose Briscoe for sure.
Mulder hadn't played in forever, Skal can make those & had been in the game...and make or miss you needed his size on defense ...since no time ran off the clock whoever Cal puts into the game is going to have to play the last TAM possession on D.

I've heard contradictory information about who chose the shooter. People who should know were saying different things.
Because if he missed the 2nd, which he did, mulder would be guarding their 5 man
Is that somehow a worse situation?
Skal IMO is one of the last players we should want shooting clutch free throws. I just feel like Mulder is a much better free throw shooter. Even though he hasn't hardly played I just feel like he's probably a much better free throw shooter than skal. He came here with the reputation of being a shooter, would've been way more comfortable with Mulder in that situation. Skal just always seems to fold under pressure is why I feel like Mulder is the much better option in that situation. I know he is more of an unknown but there's no way he's not a better shooter he came to Kentucky because he's a good shooter. And if he makes the 2nd free throw you can make a defensive sub for him. And I'm pretty sure one of the teams had a timeout that would've been likely called regardless so either way I'm pretty sure a defensive sub would've been available. Could be wrong. I just feel like skal is the type to fold under pressure so why put the weight of the game on his shoulders?
During the broadcast it said whoever cal replaces humph with will shoots the free throws. It was cal's choice of whoever is on the bench.
Not neccessarily...as the timing would have been different so the whole sequence would have changed
Why? Being down 1 changes how A&M plays that last possession.
No, when Humphries fouled out, the player Cal picked to sub in got to shoot free throws. It's 100% fact. You're wasting your time arguing this, you're wrong. Jut admit it.
What's are you talking about? Had he made both free throws, the timing would have been different. . Has nothing to do with fouling out or who subbed.. it's a fact that if you change something, what would have happened will be different.
So you're wrong. Stop arguing. Admit it.. nice try though
Skal isn't a bad FT Shooter at 70% and with being down 1 we would have only been up 1 if he connects on both FT's and still would had lost on last sec shot. The last Second 3-Step to the basket Tip-In that should have never counted and should have least been a 2nd overtime. I know alot would say with Skal in we would have probably been beaten in 2nd OT but I read on TexasA&M website that 2 or 3 players saying they were drained and didn't think they would make it through the 1st OT. WE could also had sealed if Lee goes to the Line in Regulation and just hits the Front-end of the 1 and 1 and we go up by One and Texas A&M then came down and didn't score we went to OT. There so many ifs and so many We had the game Won and just like in OT if the Ref doesn't call the Technical then Humphries is still in the game and we are up by 1 point and then he goes down and maybe hits 1 or 2 ft's. Humphries earlier hit both of Free Throws and was 2/2 from the line. If he hits both and we are up 3 they have to hit a 3 to tie and at least we go to 2nd OT and still would had Humphries with 4 fouls without Technical. The Ref didn't have to call that T and I have read many articles on this at other sites that some Refs wouldn't had called a 'T' on that. Just have to move on and beat Bama and Vandy next week.
My understanding was that whoever was coming in as a sub for Humphries (which was Skal) was the one that had to take the free throws.
Bring a guard in off the bench who hasn't played in months and have him play the Center position...?
I am so glad you created a new account and can bless us on here with your brilliance like you did on the football board until you were booted..

This^^^^^makes this argument mute, thank God he made one or the game was over, and we don't have a clue if Mulder could have hit any free throws.
Assuming the same thing happened we would have lost. With Skal out there we might have still gave up a game winning offensive rebound even if he hit both free throws.
You have been all over Skal on that rebound...
I get his inadequacies but that wasn't on him,
The first shooter went by Murray way too easy and Skal had to front him.
Skal's man was left under basket with Murray behind him.
Jamal was the culprit if anyone was on this play.
Agee, but Mulder would probably have fought harder for the offensive rebound than Skal, who fell to the floor. Honestly, I think the entire episode is going to make this bunch closer. I think some good will come out of it.
The referees came over to the announcers and explained the situation. The coach did NOT get to choose who shot the free throws. Would have been idiots to have not chosen Briscoe. I also agree with Skal as the replacement - even with 2 made free throws, we had to have an inside presence. No choice IMO.
How many of you watches the game? The referees literally told the announcers that the substitute (cals choice) would shoot the free throws.
The announcers were confused about the rule but received a clarification. The poster who explained it above is correct. Isaac's replacement shoots the FT's and stays in for at least a play.
I understand why Cal went with Skal, however knowing that A&M would call a timeout Cal may have let Dom or someone else shoot the FT's.

Calipari says UK put Skal in for Humphries and that's how he shot the FTs. "Yeah, that was us," not A&M, as Kennedy said.
