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

[JasonS.]

Cal hair dye is performing as badly as our team tonight. He's grey all the sudden again.

 

[UK till Death]

They're wilting

 

[cantstandthecards]

This is why Cal does not schedule trus non conference road games

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

put Mulder in, run and gun

it's not like we could be playing any worse defense

 

[UK till Death]

Great series there, Murray.

Lackadaisical as hell

 

[Bluest Member]

OMG they called one on Alford,The Sky is Falling

 

[Re2126]

Alford finally gets called for something he does every single time down the court

 

[rodgerblue]

We are driving the paint better than in the first half.

 

[WildMoon]

Briscoe has HUGE balls, and so does Ulis.

Everyone else. Little soft.

 

[reality-sucks]

I don't know what adjustments Calipari can make. Alford's gameplan is exactly what the numbers suggest: make us a jump shooting team and we'll flail.

Defense has been just as bad or worse. Entire team looks lost and blaming a tough home whistle doesn't excuse some of the poor execution.

It's very hard to execute anything when you are not allowed to move without 6 arms smacking and holding you.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Quit bitching about the officiating, the officials aren't leaving UCLA shooters wide open and letting them get to the basket.

 

[bigc45157]

At least Isiah is getting after it.

 

[UK till Death]

Alford has been pushing off ALL NIGHT

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

Finally called the little cheating punk for his pushoffs.

 

[liveblue92]

Need to stop letting our guys watch the football team

 

[StubbornPenny]

They actually called
Alford's chicken wing,
Wow.

 

[Sturge]

How in the HELL did we ever beat Duke?

 

[Bluest Member]

Lackadaisical as hell

I've seen hands all over Murray quite a few times when he had the ball dibbling with No Call,probably gets frustrating

 

[WindyCityWildcat]

I hate when our guys flop even more than I hate when our opponents do it.

 

[RoyKent]

Cats literally playing no defense. Add in the refs ineptitude and it's not a good mix for winning a game

 

[Seth C]

I really can't stand schools where the fans chant "********" after every single foul that gets called on their team.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Murray is the most skilled player we have, but he plays too much like he's playing a pickup game. Way too loose with the ball, circus shots, etc. If he settled down and played disciplined ball, we'd be a lot better.

 

[wccat]

Poythress...to pull out an old Tubby quote..Looks like tarzan. Plays like Jane.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Doesn't look like Cal made any adjustments at all.

 

[zannmann]

Finally called Alford foe the chicken wing.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Skal so weak. We need him to get stronger

 

[jcmc225]

I hate to complain about the refs. But ucla constantly travels. I can accept SOME of the holds and fouls, but to catch the ball and take 2-3 steps without ever taking a dribble is just mindboggling

 

[wccat]

Poythress...to pull out an old Tubby quote..Looks like tarzan. Plays like Jane.

 

[FilsonCat]

Quit bitching about the officiating, the officials aren't leaving UCLA shooters wide open and letting them get to the basket.

But they did allow Welsh to stay in the game after a cheap shot on Lee. And have basically taken Poy out of the game.

 

[beefhide]

nice to see briscoe getting after it

 

[chroix]

Did the ref apologize for calling the offensive foul? Wtf?

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

How in the HELL did we ever beat Duke?

That game was basically on a home court. Young teams tend to underperform on the road and overperform at home.

 

[al.ksr]

Alford's a little *****.

 

[StubbornPenny]

I will say Cal wants to win, but he's going to let these kids flail and if they lose its a teaching moment. When Murray allowed the last 3, he just waved his hands and sat down. No yelling, jumping... He knows a loss here can help his team overall.

 

[UkCats9]

This team is painful to watch right now. No offensive rhythm at all

 

[UK till Death]

I've seen hands all over Murray quite a few times when he had the ball dibbling with No Call,probably gets frustrating

Agreed but you know what Cal would say: finish strong

 

[wccat]

Does this team know where the baseline is?

 

[chroix]

101 games vacated. Ouch

 

[Sturge]

Skal absolutely cannot play defense without fouling.

 

[kybassfan]

Did the freedom of movement point of emphasis memo not make it to the west coast? Must have sent the damn the by Emory package.
