Like an offensive dud.
This year’s Boston is Brooks. Cal’s gotta get him drafted at all costs. Why can’t we have an offense that puts our real shooters, ie Grady, in position to shoot?
Yeah I won't disagree with that. Although several of these were pretty open shots
Folks gotta stop harping on the number of 3s we take a game
That's how I feel. Still think we can make some noise when everything comes together.
Lol yeah exactly.
And just because I lose faith in calipari doesn't mean I am not gonna root for uk and hope calipari proves me wrong.
He'll if calipari doesn't play Sharpe and uk still makes the final four mods can perma ban me. I'd be happy as can be to be wrong and embrace said ban.
And FFS, I'm tired of the excuses. Now we're blaming the BALL? Are you kidding me?
And the "first road game" excuse is played out. We have exactly ONE starter who is playing his first college road game, and he's shooting 75%.
Bottom line - Cal runs ZERO plays to get the ball into our best shooters' hands in a position to shoot the ball. Instead, we pass the ball around the perimeter until one of the abysmal perimeter shooters being sagged off of jacks up another bad shot.

Yeah, except they can't shoot. Grady, Mintz, ty ty need to be taking those shots. I mean damn, if Allen can't even play a minute where we're 0-10 from 3 against 3-4 Notre Dame, why the hell is he even on the team? Just go home
Not really. He jacks up too many out of the flow of the offense. He is like Brooks, forcing shots to try and up his NBA stock.
Telling dudes that if you don't take an open shot you're coming out doesn't exactly sound like helpful coaching. Just because a shot is wide open doesnt make it the right shot.
It isn't even as much about Brooks shooting it's more about when he is shooting. Quick shots with guys still running down so a long 2 with no one there to rebound, a long 2 early in the shot clock when we could have held for the last shot of the half, just dumb plays. He is a Jr. he should be helping with stuff like this not being the one to screw us.
We're 0-10 from 3. We have probably one of the best 5 shooting teams in the nation. That's what happens when you run no offense.
Brooks has 4 boards, 6 points on 3-7 from the floor. Yes 1 terrible shot for the time and situation, but he is not the issue. Cal putting lineups on the floor that have no ability to score is a huge issue.
Wheeler has 2 turnovers but at least he is a PG who will feed the post.

We better hope Oscar don’t get into foul trouble this game because we might be in trouble!
Oh, I don't know.... How about run some plays to get the ball into our actual best shooters' hands in a position to shoot?
Or play two or three shooters at a time so the opponent can't cheat off of the guys who are known to be less-than-average shooters?
And yeah, I don't want some of these wide open players to be taking wide open threes when they shoot less than 30% from the perimeter. They might as well just step on the baseline/sideline - same result.
This UK team isn’t good. 2nd weekend of NCAA would be an accomplishment.
Tyty and Oscar are great, everyone else is blah to downright bad

TyTy and Grady have to hunt for theiir shot more and play more selfish.
Keion got away with the easiest walking call youll ever see haha
Lol, that might be the biggest walk in the history of walks. Not complaining though.
