You can't tell me this isn't a screw job. Not ONE foul on their defense this entire game. NOT ONE.
our guys are just taking jump shots and avoiding contact at all costs. It's like we have a bunch of Kyle Wiltjer's out there. I expect Cal to get that fixed at halftime.

When only two of your guards can shoot...and one of those two is saddled with foul trouble and on the bench. Then the opponent is going pack the paint and take away the drive. I'm not sure we can hit enough jump shots to win this game. I hope so!!! They know that Matthews, Briscoe, Hawkins, and Poythress can't hit jump shots. Humphries is the third best jump shooter of the players who actually play. (sorry mulder)

If we cannot open up the middle then this game is going to continue to be tough. They are giving everyone but Murray a ton of room. Need to hit open 3s and make them come out and guard it. That will open up the lane.

If I was Cal, I would walk straight in the locker room and grab Poythrees by the balls and say "REMEMBER THESE"?

Hopefully the equipment manager is on his way back to the hotel to get the team's testicles that must have been left behind.

So much for dribble drive. No one is trying to drive the ball. That's our strength, yet they all act like UCLA has put up a brick wall. That's why we haven't been fouled much.

Kentucky will make adjustments at halftime. Look for the guards to get into the paint which will make Ucla defend. They didn't have to the first half. This will create more fouls or rebounds. The question is can we hit our free throws?

I don't see us winning this one. Not unless a different team comes out of the tunnel for the 2nd half. Refs will put Ulis back on the bench in the first few plays of the 2nd half.

I think they could hit enough jump shots to win this game. I think in the end we'll be ok tho

I am not worried but if we are down 11 with 15 to go I think we lose . We need to be within 5 with 10 to go and then go on a run lead by Ulis and Murray.

It will be a different 2nd half, but will it be enough is the question? Need to rebound and drive the ball

Dispute something I said or stop making a personal attack,because we anytime you have a problem we can take care of it
Your constant complaining about fouls. When your offense is all jump shots, you will never get fouled. How can all the ones complaining about fouls not understand it? Ill St had 10 free throws, we had 45, its simple

Time to polish off that Hall of Fame medal, Cal. Wait, medal? Statue? Trophy? plaque? What do they give you?

Anyway, time to add a tweak!

Over/under 3 minutes into second half when they call a cheap 3rd on Ulis?

Doesn't really matter if we do or don't - the fact that they we start trying to drive and draw the fouls will change the complexion of this game.

We're very young and VERY weak inside; we're seeing a very average coach in Alford taking advantage of our weaknesses.

On the plus side: we have Cal, one of the best, so let's see if he comes up with a way for this young team to overcome our weakness.

Jamal Murray + Skal = one of the biggest pair of overrated recruits I have ever seen.
Hard for them to do what they do best, penetrate and score around the basket, when no one but Ulis can be a consistent three-point shooter. Got to have space to operate to do that. Skal is sucking pretty hard though.

Bilas can't stand it that Kentucky stomped his Dookies,UCLA's gameplan is having Refs refuse to call fouls on the Home Team while mugging UK's best Rebounder with a non-called flagrant and allowing UCLA defenders to put hands all over ball handlers,works everytime

We do need to get used to this zone. Again. Life as a team without much shooting.
we have good shooters..murray,ulis and willis when he's in ..but cal wants them to drive...ulis has passed up on several open 3's....he and murray are 40+ %
