It's December 11th. I am fairly confident things change before then.

We will be better, but we will probably have the usual cal issues. We must beat teams on athletic ability and rebounding / defense. If we are short on those areas we aren't the last team standing. We've got to become a solid machine in the half court because that's where good teams are going to force us.

Hopefully we turn into what we need to, and it is early.

I like multiple big guys. Going to need it against certain teams. Willis is a 2.75 at best. Not a 4 stretch or not.

Lord I hope this game can finally stop some of the Hump is sooooo good talk. He's still a project that is slowly getting better and should be a good starter level player as a senior

People say we have issues right now in certain settings. We are limited in what we can do on the offensive end.

People respond by saying we just went 7-7 against Hofstra in the start of the second half. There's no problems with skilled players.

People respond by saying against solid competition factors etc.

Tons of miscommunication and hyperbole going around.
Well that's fine, but I keep seeing these comments about what will happen to us in March if we do this or that. So I guess everyone else is going to improve, but UK is just going to spin its wheels and stop improving.
Everyone needs to realize that UK has more upside than 95% of cbb.

Yeah not sure what the other poster is insinuating. UK is gonna hit the 3's or not hit the 3's. The opponent can't stop us from making them or missing them, no matter the opponent.
His point isn't that . The point is people act like Cal doesn't bring in shot makers. WE make some we miss some . It happens but we CAN make them.

Of coarse . But people like to act like we are sunshine pumpers when we just are being truthful. WE make a lot of mistakes due to youth and we don't look good in half court O all the time but I would rather have our team then anyone else including Puke.

We always have more upside because we are always so young and Cal coaches for march.

It doesn't change glaring issues with our team concepts and positional problems. It's early, but we need some answers. We will find out in the next few weeks against UNC and UL / Kansas.

Good last tune up before it's go time next week.

On another note, Willis might be The easiest player to cross up that I've ever seen, usually it's a big slow in coordinated guy that gets that honor

Humphries is a much better shooter than he has displayed today.

Why is he struggling shooting the ball against these lesser teams?

We will get 100 because they seem to be attacking the paint with like 10 seconds run down.

You are a pumper. The worst one on this board. Some of your takes are just sheer stupidity. You diminish other teams players and call Hump (really solid). Your position on Kennard was absolutely ridiculous. I could go on and on.

I'm going to say whatever that makes me feel like we'll get 100.
