    Matt Jones on Spaces Call: Mitch willing to give one last run with changes

    If he wins big next year, isn’t that a bigger middle finger to UK and it’s fans? Doesn’t it prove, unquestionably, that he’s been asleep at the wheel and condescending about it? Now that his legacy/reputation and lifetime contract are on the line he’s capable of winning again?

    Starting lineups dont matter-***!!!

    Forget starting. We have enough potential lineup combinations that Ugo, Thiero, Wagner and Edwards should never be on the floor together. The catch and shoot threes that Wagner and Edwards can make aren't even available without the floor spacing Rob, Reed and even Z provide. It’s just bad...

    8 minutes per game

    That ridiculous lineup got down 8-1. Down 6 at half. We could’ve done a lot of things better, but there’s no reason to give away the opportunity to be the team that jumps out to an early lead. And we forego that opportunity every single game.

    Box score (analytics)

    I don’t claim to be well schooled in analytics, but how do we win a game by 9 and finish the game -30 in net points?

    Was Our Defense Better?

    Open shots for mediocre to bad shooters are not the result of bad defense. You can’t take everything away. Conceding some open shots to bad shooters to eliminate the same for good shooters is just fine. Additionally, we contested almost everything at the rim. Two weeks ago, our defense at...

    ••OFFICIAL OLE MISS VS KENTUCKY GAME THREAD••

    These lineups are just inexcusable. Good heavens.

    UNC struggling against the zone

    UNC on pace to score almost a hundred, while shooting 57% from the field and 55% from three.

    ***FRIDAY MARCH 24 SWEET 16 GAMES***

    Alabama isn’t so much cold as they have no answers. SD St can stay in front of their guards and doesn’t have to over help. These aren’t the threes Alabama is accustomed to getting.

    The resistance to playing zone

    I’m not speaking to what Cal does. Never been to one of his practices or even had the opportunity to speak with him. The original statement was about the use of zones in general, just sharing what I’ve experienced. I can assure you the general lack of zone usage is not from laziness, though...

    The resistance to playing zone

    One of the things that limit zone use is simply practice time. Coaches allocate their practice time based on how much the intend to use something. If you’re only gonna use a zone 5-10% of the time, you’re only working on it 25-45 minutes a week. It comes after offense, situations, skill...

    OT: Penn State's coach to Notre Dame

    Did a ton of winning as assistant with Brad Stevens at Butler/Boston Celtics and as Associate HC under Painter at Purdue. I guess youre suggesting he should’ve won bigger and faster at a program he literally started from scratch at IU South Bend and traditional Big Ten power Penn St?

    How?

    How do they play so soft against Vandy and tough as hell today? Won’t always make shots, but can control toughness/effort.

    Curious…does this team have talent now?

    We are definitely playing better. Look like a different team against efficient offenses, though. We have handled Auburn, Tennessee and Mississippi St, but they’re not particularly good offensive groups. Our defense has been exploited by capable offensive groups. Gonzaga, UCLA, Kansas...

    Smart Coaching Move....

    It’s a good win for ASU, no doubt. Just not a great example of a smart coaching move. Hurley’s defense got torched all day. They just did the same to Arizona. I get it, though, you want Cal to play some zone. Anyone who does is smart.
