I don't care about the comp. We have good energy tonight. Everyone is getting in passing lanes. Guys are making the extra pass. Our 4s are hitting 3s. The Honkey is driving and drawing fouls. I like what I see thus far.

Favorite part of the empty gym is hearing our lunatic head coach screaming the entire game. [sick]
The roads are apparently garbage around Lexington fwiw. If anyone was on the fence about going, that probably made their decision a lot easier.
I’m a big defender of Cal’s coaching chops, but if I could change one thing about him it would be to chill the eff out during the games...you don’t have to coach a player through EVERY action.
Leave that for practice, let them play, let them screw up.
North Dakota’s coach looks like he manages a Walmart and has a pretty substantial drinking problem.
Mine would be embracing modern basketball more.
EJ has some catching up to do. Probably the #1 talent we have, but #12 in basketball IQ/feel at the moment.
Like seeing Quickly aggressively take it to the basket so often. Nothing worse than guards just pounding around the perimeter.
I don’t know why but I imagined Travis just being an automatic bucket when he got it down low on the block but he’s been far from it so far, has Chuck Hayes level athleticism. Hopefully he keeps getting more comfortable as the season goes on we need it.
Right now, I trust Travis and Johnson. Pretty sure Herro will get there. Everyone else is suspect- some more than others.

- Washington is Terrence Jones-lite. If we become elite, he’ll play a huge role but I’ll never feel great counting on him to be great.
- Nothing shocking about a southern 1-man coming in raw. Hagans’ struggles are the least surprising thing to me about this season. Cal’s PG work is nearly always strong, though- SGA looked awful last November.

IU could pour 50 million into Assembly Hall it will still look like some cracker box high school gym on tv. I fully expect to see some dude in a red & white striped apron popping popcorn in one of the corners.
Speaking of SGA, that kid man!
Watched the whole Clippers vs Warriors game a few nights back and he is a natural leader already for that team, and to watch him play a big role in that team beating GSW(sure without Curry) was damn impressive.
Herro is a much better overall basketball player than given credit for, which is why I have faith in him.
I like IQ- don’t love him.

I'll always have mad respect for Jon Sundvold. He was better on Tecmo Bball than Bo was on Tecmo Fball. He got the back of the head screenshot nearly every 3. You knew it was good before it went in.
At least the third time it’s happened where Cal thought he’d have a dude 2-3 years and he blew up - Bledsoe and Booker, too.
Emmanuelle is a chick you used to jerk off to as a kid.
Immanuel is a basketball player, and I wouldn’t do that to his likeness unless he at least averaged a triple double.
I thought Hagans would live at the rim in a way SGA did...drive us crazy with TO’s yes, but lock up D and get in the lane at will.
So far I was wrong.

Hard to believe Hagans is 6 3" imo. Maybe its his frame but he plays much smaller without the quickness. Just strange.
Quickley looks it and is just more visually appealing with the ball.
Thats my hott take.

Good read... http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/st...-nick-saban-college-football-afraid-hal-mumme
"Who is the best college football coach of the past two decades? It's clearly Alabama's Nick Saban -- defensive guru, deadpan disciplinarian and, oh, by the way, winner of four BCS championships. But the most influential coach of the past 20 years? That'd be Hal Mumme. He wasn't the only one to drag college football out of its ground-and-pound dark ages. But as Kentucky's coach in the late 1990s, he is the one who brought video game offenses to the SEC, the game's motherland. And it was there that football changed forever. If Cam Newton or Johnny Manziel ever did something that made you jump off your couch, you have Mumme to thank. "Hal was really one of the trailblazers for throwing the ball," says Art Briles, whose Baylor team led the FBS in offense last year. "Without question, Hal was instrumental in the game being what it is today."
It's hard to capture just how dramatically offenses have changed in the 38 years since Mumme began coaching at Foy H. Moody High School in Corpus Christi, Texas. But consider this fact: In NCAA history, there have been 79 times a quarterback has thrown for at least 4,000 yards in a season; 65 of them have come since 2000. Mumme-influenced offenses are so pervasive, in fact, that Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson says, "It's to the point now where the three or four teams we play a year that line up in two tight ends and a fullback are harder to prepare for. That sometimes confuses players now more than the spread does, because most teams have three and four wideouts just like we do."
All of this raises a rather obvious question: Why the heck did a godfather of modern college football coaching, a man with a career record of 137-118-1 through Week 2, just take a gig at an NAIA school that went 3-8 last year and plays its home games in a high school stadium?"
Reid needs to make quicker decisions sometimes when it gets it on the block. Sometimes he waits too long & the double team gets there instead of kicking it back out.
IQ could be Otis Nixon’s great great great great great great great grandson.
Glad to see PJ shooting well...this team will go the way he goes.
North Dakota’s uniforms are terrible. Just absolutely terrible.
Does Cal just hate Quade?
I really believe our 2/3 will be terrific by year end. Have to figure out the point and our 4/5 rotations. Obviously, if Washington becomes an all-conference inside/out threat, we’re looking good.
