I don't think we were ever up 8, either. I think Larry Vaught called him out on that. When ol' Lar is calling you out for being awful...well.

I'm sure UVA fans were destroyed losing to UMBC, but Tony Bennett wasn't exposed like this. This is absolutely more embarrassing than losing to a 16 seed. St. Peter's didn't even play well. And there's zero hope of a rehab like UVA had the following year.

He undoubtedly was. Those Givony posts are eye opening.
Are they? We've been saying that for 8 years since he benched Booker and forced KAT to play back to the basket.

They were saying the same **** as he ran 3 bigs out again and again last year as Bama ran us out of the gym.

We're basically running the Wishbone offense of basketball.

Pin down.
Floppy.

Puke.

Matt is saying Cal isn't cool with him anymore because he's too hard on Cal. That's really something considering Matt is his biggest defender. This is some Billy G type ****.
because he’s a thin skinned ***** who cannot take any criticism because he thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

He’s a smug ******* who is writing checks his *** can’t cash now.

Not seeing anything about long twos:

“This is a guard-oriented 4-out offense that features spreading the floor and dribble-penetration to the rim for lay-ups or kick-out 3-point shots. Coach Walberg uses the term "key or 3" meaning either a layup, or a 3-point shot.”

Buddy of mine just called and gave me play by play of last 3:20. We have ball, 20 seconds on shot clock, up 6, and had a 90.4% chance of winning.

Each team would have 5 possessions left. If literally one possession goes diff, we win, 1! We don’t even get shots on 3 of our 5. The 2 we did were the last possession (woof), and the Grady 3 after offensive rebound.

Just an absolute choke job.

Cal’s offense has always been some mishmash bastardization of the Dribble Drive and the NBA Power Game from the 90’s. He always defaults to “ throw it in the post” or”DRIVE!!!!” to draw fouls. He has an open and mocking disdain for modern basketball and the three point shot.

Denny Crum never won **** after 86 because he never adjusted to the three point line. Cal’s the same ******** way on offense.

I think it was Aristotle or maybe Green Day that said the wisest men among us are the ones that know they don’t know nothing. Calipari thinks he knows everything and micromanages the **** out of everyone…you know except the ends of games where he keeps his timeouts shoved up his ***.

WE NEVER LED BY 8.

68-62 with 3:23 was our largest lead.

The fact he keeps peddling that **** like it excuses the collapse shows you he thinks we’re a bunch of hayseeds that just clap like trained seals at the game but don’t know what’s going on.

F out of here with that non-stop gaslighting of the fan base.

He'd be wise to just keep his mouth shut. Literally. From his final press obligation this season to SEC Media Days. Don't say ANYTHING unless it's released in a statement. Congratulate your NBA guys. Welcome your newbies. But I don't want to hear anything come out of the mouth of a guy who says he had no answers in the final minutes of a postseason game when that's EXACTLY what you're paid $9 mil/per to do.
💯

I still cannot believe that we got beat by Saint Peter's in the first round. There is nothing for Cal to say after that (especially after last year) other than giving the Tebow speech to the BBN and telling everyone that he will be so busy getting **** right this offseason that he will not have the time to do media.

I haven't watched The Price is Right in years....

Drew Carey is awful. Two geriactrics gettin' it on would be more stimulating...

What has this world come to?

(Don't @ me...I cleared my schedule to "enjoy" the NCAA-T today)

I feel like this post could have been about Wisonsin, or Auburn or Kansas State or Evansville. I just don't know anymore.

Dude had a hell of a (luck weighted) run from 2010 to 2015. The only reason 2017 gets a pass is because those were some bad dudes that didn't listen to Cal and just balled. Higgins can eat all the **** for their season ending. I've said it 10 times elsewhere but all you need to know about Cal on offensive philosophy is that he berated Monk in the post game UNC regular season thriller for not driving more. Kid was on fire from 3 and that's what Cal opened with. This was 5 years ago. He's done.

Yeah I don’t want to hear A SINGLE DAMN WORD about us pulling a UVA next year.

Didn't watch a single second of the OT period.

Lost my ever-loving **** when Cal refused to call a TO on the last possession of regulation leading to a hapless, contested shot by TyTy. A lot of profane words, fist pounded into a solid oak coffee table, the remote controller flying through the air, and my dog jumping over the couch to run upstairs to hide. I proceeded to sit on the front porch in the light snow to "cool down." My Apple Watch tells me my heart rate spiked to 90 bps....

In my solitude, I ultimately concluded that UK basketball is a reoccurring source of frustration, anger, and contempt. The common denominator is John Calipari over-promising and under-delivering. And each year, the let-down seems worse and worse because of the desparation for our Wildcats to "get over the hump."

The 2015 loss broke my heart, but I had a confidence we would bounce back. I wrote off the 2016 loss to an all-time Higgins hatchet job. The losses to Kansas St. and Auburn in 2017-2018 were inexcusable. Antipathy grew when Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee started regularly punking us in SEC play. And last season's debacle marked an all-time low.

If you're keeping score at home, that hits every stage of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, anger...

And what do I have to show for it? Sure, I had a great time watching the Cats smash UNC in Vegas. And it's a joy to tell KU fans to suck-it after an epic beatdown in the Phog. But how many dinner date nights with my wife have I foregone because UK had a "big" game on Saturday evening? How many days have I lied to colleagues about being "busy" so I could sneak out of the office early to catch a 5pm (MT) tip?

No more. Done. Last night was the last straw, and I won't let Cal draw me back in.

How many games have we lost because we literally have zero end of game plays? (Or ANY plays for that matter)

And we still have zero plays. It’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever seen.

WEAAAAAVEEEEE!!!!! And we run that **** like we’re sleep walking, with no intentions of taking a guy off the dribble and actually scoring the basketball. It’s just pure mindless stupidity. Every March.

You watch these bs teams like St Peters, San Fran, Murray….holy ****, what are they doing????? Balling?!! We don’t ball here. We look at the sideline and weave, baby.

I hated this team from the start. Never watched 6 games all season. I quit basketball last year, and I’m proud of that. But I was pumped for March. It was Cal’s last shot at redemption, and he actually had the horses to do it. He screwed it up in historical fashion.

And yeah, Cal is basically unfireable...but the condescension him and his family have had for BBNs gripes the last couple years is f***ing ridiculous.

You didn't make us, we legitimized you.

You want to be the top story on Sportscenter every night? Want to be on national TV 40 times a year? Want to go on any national radio show in the offseason to hear yourself speak?

That's because of us. Your sideshow at Memphis and UMass didn't provide you ****, despite being contenders on a semi-regular basis.

Take your ******** and get pumped. You needed us more than we needed you.

It was mutually beneficial for a bit...but don't bite the hand that feeds you, motherf***er.
