When he gets the ball it feels like he has decided to shoot no matter the defense or where he is. He never looks to pass even when guys are wide open.

Yeah, you’re right. Cal hates kids. Some of you all are ridiculous
Again, you all are right. Cal hates Allen. No doubt. He should be ashamed of himself.
in fairness every player makes mistakes and don’t always come out
He needs to stick to mid-range jumpers/set shots when he has space. He’s not good in close quarters.
It might not test the team.. but they have value for a team that's this new. Build confidence and don't take unnecessary early losses.
I don't love how easy this schedule is.. but I see the value it has.
More talented players get a longer leash. It’s been that way since the beginning of time. I don’t get why y’all are so surprised by this.
It amazes me to see so many negative comments on here in a 26 point halftime lead game.
Remember when Rupp had 23 K every game. I know it's vital that we play all the friends of the head coach. Doesn't seem that many people are into it other than Ellen and a few others.
Another funny thing is people were saying these games were scheduled three or four years ago. Yeah we knew Barbee was going to Central Michigan back in 2019.

That is true. But I doubt they would be getting the kind of looks they are getting against a team with a pulse. And we know how bad of a coach C.Mich has. I don't mind them playing 3-4 games against these type teams. Everyone does that but they have 6 really bad teams out of 7. Ohio being the exception. I am happy they are playing great and not losing at half like last years team. Just a little worried this schedule isn't preparing them for SEC play.
Cal took Oscar out or itd be a 40 point game,
No chance. He might score and gain confidence. Cal will make sure Washington, Grady, and Brooks gets their shots. Allen will get about 5 min and then the end of the bench will get last 3-4 min.
i know cal has told him this probably 10,000 times. hit open jumpers and layups and stop trying to be a slasher you are not that guy
If Brooks never looks to pass and will shoot a tough shot when a guy is wide open it is gonna hurt us against good teams.
in fairness im not sure brooks is more talented than allen
Well, we good decent looks on Friday and lol. We just didn’t hit them.
We will play ND and Ohio St. Conference will be hard as always. Nothing can really prep you for that per se. Because those coaches KNOW what you’re going to be doing for the most part. Just have to go out there and play touch with energy.
Nice to see Hopkins with 6 points and 2 boards so far.
Yeah, I shook my head after reading that take. Wow.
Just checked in.
I see we are only up by almost 30 at halftime, so I assume someone must be fired and a player benched until infinity.
Who?

Because for some no matter how we play, or who plays good, it’s never enough. Won’t be till Cal is gone.
This team may get to the final four but they're not going to get there by playing Central Michigan. Wake me up when the real game starts.
They make a point, but I’m beyond trying to understand Cal’s logic Actually, I don’t think Cal uses logic, but rather reacts. He’s got too many players deserving of minutes. When competition gets better, the rotation will tighten quite a bit.
he is going to be a very nice player for us
Wheeler caused the switch. Wheeler went up to Cal at the whistle to chat about it. Wheeler walked toward the bench thinking that’s where he was headed. Then Cal motioned to Allen to take a seat.
Furthermore did other players not make bad plays in that stretch? Yes, they did. On successive possessions Grady missed a wide open three and turned the ball over. The point is that this kid, even in a game where you’re up 25, gets pulled for one mistake (that wasn’t even completely on him).
And in the 2nd half you know they won't play as well and he will lose his mind and act like a child.
They're playing Central Michigan. A team that trailed Eastern Illinois by 20 points.
Wheeler +23
TyTy +26
Grady +23
Oscar +27
Keion +13(Stop shooting please and thank you)
Allen -2
Ware -5(does he not work on his offensive game? can he jump high enough to clear an I-phone?)

Regardless if Wheeler makes the same mistake as Allen.. you can't take Wheeler out lol. Some players NEED to play.. Allen just isn't there at this time. His one strength, shooting, is still quite streaky and it's something we already have a lot of.. interior depth we don't. So brooks also has to play out of necessity.
For a team with a lot of 3pt shooters, we take very few of them so far this season.
I love Allen but some people here are absolutely ridiculous lol
Play finisher not a play maker that’s for sure.
it’s always to the extremes on here there is no middle lol
