Still blows. A lot of people riding the guys jock the last couple weeks.

- Beat 2 ranked teams all year.
- Beat Oklahoma and Ole Miss to make it to the SEC final
- Beat Hawaii and High Point to make it to the Sweet 16
- Lost to Kentucky (maybe the funniest part)
- And he went all season without developing a bench….again. And it’s killing the Hogs tonight.

As a few others have said:

Pope ain’t it, but Cal ain’t sh*t

sometimes the 7 - 8 man rotation is a handicap. Was tonight.
Been enjoying watching former Ky players showing their skills. There’s a lot of talent out there.
but there are a dozen new Portal entrants tonight after 4 teams lost.
Will DJ Waggoner go into portal? I say yes.
Acuff gone tomorrow morning-

yeah a very mediocre season for the money they're paying him. He lost the two big non-conference games to Mich St and Duke, only good NC win was Louisville at home (he can still do that apparently). good SEC record but he lost to Bama and Kentucky, got destroyed by Florida. They got "hot" in March with extremely lucky road in the SECT and NCAAT. This is exactly what he was doing here, more or less.

Bottom line on Cal....good Coach, but he one a title with Anthony Davis carrying the load, and lost in the Final Four with the most talented team to not win a Championship since NC State defeated Houston. The only way he can win is if he has clearly the most talent, and even then there is no guarantee.

Arkansas looked as clueless on defense against Arizona as we looked on offense against Iowa State. Why the hell did I ever get out of coaching 35 years ago. Idiots are paid millions of dollars now to suck at their craft.

Loved that they were blown out. I had posted here before the game that they had lucked out on their 2 NCAA opponents to get that far. Cal had way better talent than Kentucky this season and still crapped out. Now the only other team I want to see lose is Duke. The rest doesn't matter.

You must not know UT fans. You also don’t want UConn to win another.

How about this quote from Calipari at halftime. The guy is a ******* idiot.

Cal how are you going to chip wag at this deficit in the second half

“first of all they’re really good. (Looks away, looks back) we’re gonna have to run stuff”

Honest to god that was his statement being interviewed at halftime. He’s nothing but a fraud. Gets players with his recruiting machine sucks money and does nothing. They played nobody this season and he sucked.

Calipari's body language said "oh crap, we don't belong on the same floor" from the first minutes of the game. He knew the hogs were outclassed and had benefitted from a pretty easy path to the Sweet 16.
Calipari's offense is still the same boring, easy to defend garbage he ran while here. I mean UK beat them on their floor. How good could they be?

Eh. They were a good team. Just not elite like Arizona. But that's always going to be Cal. He can put together good teams but they won't be elite because he's just not a good bench coach. That and he isn't good at building a complete roster with talent AND experience.

Wagner isn't going anywhere. 100% he stays at Arkansas. Cal will make sure he's well compensated.

I’m not a fan of his and can’t stand Arkansas, but in a weird way I gained more respect for them tonight. They were so outmatched, couldn’t hit a shot, Arizona made everything, but they fought for each other. The Richmond foul is exactly what we need here: players that just say f-it, we are going down, but I’m standing up for my coach and guys. (Incoming Vek Cal Derangement Syndrome Post)
