Cal wanted to schedule Go but had to settle for Yale.
Yale
- Thread starter DFBJR11
- Start date
I almost choked. LmfaoHere's his GO Kitty zone being drawn up...
Cal deserves a lot of criticism over the last few seasons in particular, but anyone who spams that cringey nickname is just an automatic "ignore" for me.
If you wanna call him "Can't Coach Cal" then just say it.
CCC/Triple C is L1C4 or "Calimari" levels of lame.
Not true. He usually does it twice and they both usually work. You can catch teams flat footed when it’s 2 out a hundred.
And if they are 4.0 smart will pack in a zone guard the one shooter on the floor and dare KY to hit some 3’s
And apparently Doesn’t teach anyone to go over screens anymore.
Good thing we have the lock pick Lawyer on our team. His name is Cason Wallace. He will steal your wallet he’s so good on defense.I'm concerned about the Yale game. I hear they have a LOCK DOWN defense...
This is a YOU problem. You're the one that needs to deal with it. You can't just tell a guy he needs to spell the entire phrase out when everybody, including you, knows what CCC means.
And no, it's nothing like "L1C4" or "Calimari", the fact that you lump CCC in with those two, says more about you than everyone else.
We have to deal with you Cal thumpers talking about "Swaggy Cal", which is incredibly dumb, so you can just deal with CCC.
Their biggest chance is burning the three up. Will we prep with that in mind and overplay if anything?
If by "follower" you mean somebody who hasn't blocked her yet, then I guess so.
Calipari the “great man” threw him under the bus after years of loyalty.
That would be noteworthy. I don't see it happening, I think we win by 10-15 points after pulling away late, but I hope you are right. Yale is good.
Yet they happen all over the world with frequency. Funny how that works isn’t it?
Not exactly.
Bellarmine is all motion and cutting, very little dribbling, and runs the shot clock down on every possession.
Yale loves dribble handoffs, screens, and perimeter shots (they have 2 near-50% 3-point shooters). They also play at a somewhat slow pace, but not like Bellarmine.
Yale is also significantly more talented. All 5 starters back from NCAA Tourney team from last year.
If Yale is hitting shots, something they didn't do last night against Butler, it could be a dicey game.
I hope they do zone us. With the way Cason and Reeves have shot the ball as of late, and how good CJ has been at Rupp, it won't end well for them.
CJ is shooting around 44% from 3 at Rupp, and in the low 30's away from Rupp. Not playing basketball for a year and a half has really hurt CJ's confidence, but I still think he will snap out of his funk.
If I'm Yale, I'm playing a quasi pack-line and sagging off when Wheeler or Toppin touch the ball outside the arc. Until Toppin starts taking advantage of those looks (which he can do, we've seen it before) that's the best way to defend this UK team.
Yale also has to concede the defensive glass and get back in transition. None of the above matters if Wheeler/Cason are consistently able to fly down the court with numbers.
I’m glad you, like me, think calling John Calipari “Cal” has always been stupid.
Went to the game, sat close, here are some thoughts:
-It's a striking difference between how Cal and his staff coach games compared to Thad Matta and his staff, for example. Thad has a guy instructing defense and a guy instructing offense. They collaborate during timeouts like a pro staff, then go back to the huddle - it isn't always Thad drawing things up, either. (Incidentally, it's still odd seeing Jon Diebler and Greg Oden on Butler's coaching staff ....). Generally speaking, both Matta and the Yale coach let their teams play. They don't micro-manage and scream instructions at players during every possession, telling them where to stand or where to go like Cal does. (I've often cited this as why UK players are so disjointed and tight ... they're waiting for Cal to tell them where to effing stand, which is absurd.)
-Yale does some nice things on offense - they're always moving, and they run back-door cuts. But they don't have enough talent or weapons for UK. That said, they missed a LOT of easy shots and couldn't finish at the rim against Manny Bates. This is a game where someone like Ugonna should flourish due to his length.
-Yale's big isn't afraid to take jumpers ... he did, however, airball two of them. Ha.
-If UK attacks the rim and doesn't rely on 20-ft shots, UK should win by double digits.
-It was refreshing to see teams that make free throws comfortably; they walk up to the line and just look in rhythm.

We should. But color me anxious since we got Petered to never take any win for granted.
Know it's 'just' Yale but maybe a little more incentive for old dudes like me knowing that the northeast elite schools have been brainwashing a lot of their students with anti American and anti moral stupidity.
It’s weird seeing Greg oden coach, when you know if his knees were bad he atleast be a backup big in the league
Got petered, and Aced, and spidered, so these good mid major teams can’t be taken as a easy W
Yeah , an out of bounds play for us is like a “ trick play “ lol
LOL ! Could you read the board ?Been training on my time off.
See that Evansville loss sucked but that team more than likely would made a very deep tourney run.
The Boston team….woof.

Their best shooter is August Mahoney. Looks like and has the name of a kid that goes off at Rupp, regardless of how well we defend.
I can already hear Leach sounding like a broken-record (Mahoney hits another one).
The walking embodiment of Beer Muscles.
