How would he stop it...Paolo is the #1 pick and an NBA star..Keels played bully ball...what would you have told Cal to do?
There’s this thing called a zone. Duke is not a perimeter shooting team this year. A zone would’ve been the answer to their point blank shots all night, but Cal either doesn’t believe in it or doesn’t know how to teach it.

This is the first game of the year not the national championship game.

No, a zone was not the answer..Duke has some shooters and I can just see Paolo flashing to the ft line and scoring 40...Duke was better tonight..maybe not in 3 months

Yes, a zone would’ve been the answer to their continued shots in the paint and no, this is not a great shooting Duke team.

Cal has taken the joy out of UK bball for me. It’s not all his fault. I’m old now and have different priorities. But watching the sh#t show that Washington was out there tonight, as we did with Boston last year, while Allen sits has taken all the fun out of it.
I 100% understand what you are saying. I’m not going to root for any other team but I just don’t enjoy watching what UK basketball has become like I used to enjoy UK basketball.

The story of tonight was that cal missed on Banchero. Cal missed on Duren. And Cal missed on Lively and Cal missed on Bona. I see a pattern here. Cal isn’t the recruiter he once was. Idk what happened, but I’m sick of this being Kentucky basketball. It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even get excited for these games anymore because the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion. Cal’s system used to be fun to watch with the top end talent. He’s not getting the cream of the crop anymore and it’s gotten stagnant and boring and predictable. I’ll give him until next year with the group he has coming in. We’ll see if he can get it done with that group. Even though he’s going to have to pull a good big man out of his *** or else we’re going to have much of the same. It’s final four or bust for Cal.

Nope! Hasn't been for a long time. He's a snake oil salesman and he's just cashing checks. Let me guess. Haven't watched the press conference but there was probably plenty of "We're young...blah blah blah, new guys....blah blah blah". Along with several rants that have nothing to do with the question he was asked. Tired of it.

Great time to go pull for Cards and quit trolling.

Nope. Lost another game to a rival and he’s now 23-24 against AP top 25 opponents since 2016. Now it’s time to pad our win collum by playing some
scrubs in rupp for a month (hey, why are the seats so empty again?) and then get back to SEC play to lose at least 1 to UT, florida and alabama. We may even get swept. Then cal will read off his wrist play book “we’re young, this is hard, we’re fighting, Keion is a servant leader.” If he’s feeling real angry he’ll **** on the fans and call them “basketball bennies.” Now, here we go!!!! March is here “Cal plays for march you idiots! Watch this!” BOOM! Another elite 8 loss to an inferior team.




annddddd we get to do it all over again next season!

Ever heard of a zone defense? Yep....Cal aint either. dook was 1-13 from 3. Cal just refuses to try anything different if something isn't working in games. Maddening.
