I texted my dad after the Grady 3 make and he said “I’ll listen to highlights if we win. Cal blows.”
welp.

Hank, you’ve obviously got nothing going on in your life. Perhaps climb up a billboard near campus and refuse to come down until they fire Cal.
-to clarify...I'm pro Washington. That move reeked of Cal putting too much on the kid
Now all you basketball bennies don’t be going and watching the game tape of this one over and over. I loved the fight we showed tonight, we needed this.
Ok I’ll sign some balls now but give me the right pen to use.

Whatevs, but the final play was fine. Several(by this I mean over 50%) coaches choose to let that play run and catch the defense in bad position.
Getting down five due to long 2, and two bad defensive plays allowing players to back cut us was sad.
Oscar missed a bunny too that hurt.
I’m not letting Cal off the hook, but we’ve lost so many of these games it honestly is........well I just got more important **** to worry about to let this even matter.

The only good news is, I'm so numb to it, that I damn near expect it.
Real talk - I genuinely don’t give a **** right now. UK basketball is basically background noise for other stuff I’m doing.
We wanted Cal to do 3 things over the off-season:
Get rid of dead weight assistants-check
Bring in more shooters-check
Modernize your offense-Big fat &*$@ing fail
if you aren’t going to do the last one…the other two don’t matter.
this year was always going to be a bridge year as we get the stink of our previous recruiters off the program. But if we have an Anfernee year next year, with those recruits…I am for real officially done.

-The TyTy drive was almost assuredly drawn up during the timeout before NDs last possession. I don't hate it, and that's been Cal's philosophy since day 1, so it's whatever.
-Like dK said, it's the other stuff that is beyond tired. The offense is the same stale stuff we've seen for years. Wheeler pushing the pace was nice, but that's not exactly impossible to gameplan for. Defense was awful against mostly stiff honks. Team full of vets can't guard a back cut? Figure it out, Cal.
-Grady and to a lesser extent Mintz are being wasted. The look we drew up to get Grady what would have been the go ahead three...that was by design. Why not do that ALL GAME? You could run him and Mintz stuff like that a dozen times a game and get much better looks than whatever our normal offense is.
-Man I really miss being able to take games like this for a given. Other teams' fans hate us because we show up to your town and leave with the W. Tf happened to that?

I thought the new assistant coaches would make a big difference, and they still may but the cake takes too long to bake. Starting from scratch every year has taken its toll.
Washington was in that position because Wheeler **** the bed all game who quite literally lost the game with his poor as hell decisions. We were lucky to have a shot after that.
How bout don't shoot 1 for whatever and win the game easily?
6-10 at Notre Dame now.

We are actually playing a legit squad next Sat. OSU will dump us by 15-20 pts if we can’t do any better than tonight.

The only thing I'm interested in hearing from Calipari is, "I resign"
Remember when we used to laugh at Pitino, and joke about how Cal had smoked his doors off?
Iona would break it off in us right now.

He’s not gonna resign, cal loves $$ too much to do that. Better question is does Mitch have the balls to do anything?
I'm not saying Cal WILL resign, and Mitch isn't going to fire him. I was just commenting that I don't want to hear any words at ALL fall out of that has been's fly catcher, UNTIL he does eventually resign.
Welp, I’d say if he’s lost Anth he’s in trouble. One more to go and he will officially be on the hot seat. We all know who that is.
Reminds me of a certain Final Four game with another dominating big man. Yo, John, that’s on you. I get that ND made some changes on the defensive end against Oscar but it’s on you to make a counter move. Either do something different with him or use it to your advantage with the other 4 on the floor.
That quote pisses me off more than the fact that we lost. At this point a loss doesn’t bother at all. Quite sad, actually, but I accept that apathy has set in.
This is where we are at. Effing Camelot its the excaliber.
Tried telling you all. It's not irrational, it facts and it started when Duke blew our doors off. OSU is going to smoke us.
We didn’t sign up for this ****. None of this should be Kentucky basketball reality.
Most coaches would experiment with this look:
Washington
Mintz
Grady
Allen
Oscar
Cal, on the other hand, wants to try
Wheeler
Mintz
Hopkins
Toppin
Oscar
There are certain trade offs Cal does not want to make. He does not want to feel like he is losing “defending” and rebounding in exchange for better shooting.
It’s why it took desperation to finally play a guy like Willis at the 4. Even when making the move, he still came across resentful when he’d dump on him about “defense.”

We'd give up way too much on defense, playing that first lineup.
