While we are hard on Cal for the last 5 years, 17 and 19 were really fun years. Especially 17. That team could’ve easily won it all. Had elite players too.
F You Higgins.

The NBA doesn't use bigs this way anymore, either. Traditional post-ups are damn near dead. I've suspected this has hurt him on the recruiting trail for a while now - I sure as hell would use it against him.Cal needs the elite bigs, it's how he wants to play...his best teams have always had them sans that awesome Memphis squad with a generational point guard.
Ironically, developing toughness and back-to-the basket games in guys like Towns, Davis and even Cousins (who wanted to shoot J's a lot more than Cal would let him) has maybe hurt him in recruiting. While it was the correct thing to do for those players and their games, it wasn't necessarily what they wanted to do. All these young big guys think they are Kevin Durant now, they don't want to be parked on the block.
I’d be worried if I did business with a bank that just threw millions of dollars for a naming rights deal that no one will actually notice.
Was curious so looked it up. There were 7 games involving top 25 teams last night. 2 of those in the sec. Here is the total number of fouls called per game...
UK-USC- 54
Aub-Bama- 54
Seton Hall-Butler- 40
Wichita St-Temple- 37
ISU-Baylor- 33
Creighton-Georgetown- 31
UVA-FSU- 22
I'd imagine it isn't just last night. And that tech for hanging on the rim was utter ridiculousness. But what is hard to understand is that these refs aren't conference specific. Is the sec directing these guys to blow the whistle every damn minute?
From Rafters- this is a joke:
Spot on - dude could have set in a two three zone up 12 and they couldn’t live af the line and foul out our best playersAn offensive minded coach like Mark Few could take the combo of Maxey, Hagans, Quickley, Sestina and Richards, space the floor and murk people.
Instead we have the fat wop who thinks it’s still 1992, plays two posts, and screams “Drive” at the guards to flail around into a wall in a clogged up lane.
He’s not going to change and until he starts landing elite caliber, ready to go bigs or changes his hatred for the three and spacing the floor we’re doomed to be trapped in this vicious cycle.
OK, boomerHe was trying to mock a police officer (said officer could've just chilled out on enforcing the cigar ordeal) and ultimately made an *** (pun intended) of himself. I dont think it was criminal as much as it was just a dumb thing to do... similarly as handing out wads of cash- maybe the rule itself is antiquated and a bit dumb, but if you know its an issue- why start handing out wads of cash at the 30 yard line in front of every news outlet in the country?
What those referees should remember about the Higgins deal is that it worked. I mean, they really should remember that.UK always has a ton of fouls against Frank Martin USC.
I also believe refs are out to get UK after the Higgins problem
Then why do you insist on continuing to post in GYERO?I can't let people see I am wrong
Of all our options at the 3 besides just playing our 3 guard lineup 40 minutes, I I think he has the most upside this year. If we get him in the flow of the game, eventually, that shot is going to start falling.Team Juzang. He probably shouldn't have been in there last night given the sitiation & his production and time off, but I liked what I saw. He got after it, and showed his first pull up move of the year.
Dude at least has basketball skills, and he's not going to shoot 15% forever.
