********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[K-Town Kat]

Really surprised by this start after the Ole Miss game.

A bad team that doesn't have their best player and an embarrassing start.

[ZaytovenCat]

Dakari flat out sucks right now and has for a few weeks. I'd rather have Lee taking his minutes or Hawkins or Willis. There's zero reason for this start. It's pathetic. This team has got the big head it seems.

 

[mrj-uk]

OK Streak

 

[K-Town Kat]

Where has our D gone?

 

[mhroe1984]

Well here we go again. This is the same aTm team that was blasted by 21 in Tuscaloosa the other night. Never fails...

 

[UKWildcats#8]

How can Alabama hold this team to 44 points and we have already given up 16 and they are on pace for 80 points?

 

[CatsRWild]

AM being the aggressor attacking the paint while we shot 20 footers.

Come one cats, go inside!!!

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Aggies gaining confidence with every basket. Let's see some D

 

[K-Town Kat]

We can't get a stop against A&M.

Um. Da F happened over that long break.

 

[Runt#1969]

We're stinking up the joint today. Really playing badly, and we're closing in on the 10 minute mark of the first half. Sad.

C'mon guys ! Light a fire !

 

[Bkocats]

I have a bad feeling

Trying not to be pessimistic - but this is NOT the same UK team that played OOC

 

[Seth C]

I don't know what happened on break, but this team went from the best defensive team in the nation to not playing defense at all. Whatever changed, whatever the "tweak" was, Cal needs to end it. This team, focusing all their energy on offense, is frustrating to watch.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

there's almost no way we win by a comfortable margin now, not after this start

 

[P-Pat4Pres]

Wow...after 5 minutes of bad play it seems like the majority of Rupp's Rafters have completely given up on this team. You all should turn in your fan card. It's shameful some of the things you all are saying.

 

[JayCatz44]

Something is up. This team is regressing.

 

[Anon1712931820]

Dakari, Towns and Aaron stinking it up so far.

[Kycatspaws]

Aaron Harrison with the dunk.

 

[UKDC80]

Our bigs are incapable of imposing their will in the post and finishing.

 

[EnglandWildcat]

What has happened to our defense? Crap defense since the break.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

We are losing today. Might as well prepare ourselves. They don't have the energy to win.

 

[BellCntyCat]

Thank goodness for Booker

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Booker doesn't miss.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

It's like our feet have been stuck in mud the last 2 games.

 

[zannmann]

That's how it work fellas. Play D and you get easy baskets on the offense.

 

[katkraze]

The cats are flat and overconfident again --- they'll pick it up big in the second half after cal gives them a talking to

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

they are getting a shot at the rim on literally every possession

we look like a different team

 

[Altro Cat]

Dakari has been playing like he is tired or sick for a month now. Just seems to have lost the energy he had early in the year when he was running the floor and fighting for rebounds on every possession.

 

[5iveStarRecruit]

We're not containing the dribble and our guards are losing focus of their man. Flashes of last season.

Lee has allowed like 3 guards to score over him.


Booker needs to remain in there. He's flaming hot from beyond the arc.

Bama beat this team by 21 after only being up by 1 at the half.

Give me a break, Chicken littles. Stop with the conspiracy theories. This team is not regressing...conference play is a different animal. Our guys have to adjust accordingly.

 

[blackgoldandblue]

Booker is so deadly. I didn't imagine his stroke would look this good, this early.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

I'd like to see Cal try some zone D on this team.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I've said it many times, our big men really lack good post moves. They throw up entirely too many off balance junk shots. That has to improve.

Someone posts this every time we start badly. Don't you guys ever learn? Seriously.

 

[UKDC80]

Can it really be that difficult at 7'to make a dink hook shot that close to the basket. It baffles me the shots our bigs miss at the rim. Every year. Or finish that cloe, i.e. DJ. They are so weak with the ball and no accuracy.

 

[Runt#1969]

Very flat start, dead feet on defense and just going thru the motions. Maybe now that we got it down to 5 down we can start to get some energy and intensity going for us.

C'mon guys, gotta fight thru it and get this thing going ! Play some D and get the offense in a groove ! Cmon !!!!

Go Big Blue !

 

[Kycatspaws]

Booker has hit 14 of 16 treys over the last five games.

 

[Seth C]

Booker is ridiculously money.

 

[BellCntyCat]

Gotta get a stop inside. TAM is laying up at will!!!
