Cal has no clue what he's doing. But when you recruit a team that has absolutely no roster balance this is what you end up with. A mish mash of weak, soft players that can't shoot at all.

NIT.

You will take a lot of heat for this.

We are literally giving the game away. It doesn't help that the refs are allowing physically play for LSU but not UK.

Fans crying about Willis put back miss .. at least he got an offensive rebound . And Cal yanks him . While Briscoe takes yet another ill advised 3 .. at what point does coach tell him he flat out isn't allowed to shoot the 3 ?

Briscoe needs to start hitting it. You have him shoot hoping he can get it going.

This game probably makes the top 5 worse UK performances of all time. Sadly the UCLA game does as well. That's twice in one season. The only game I can recall ever that was clearly worse was Kansas during Pitino's first year.

LSU with a record 18 rebounds in one possession then UK bailed out with an over the back call

Did anyone actually think UK would go to LSU and win. This team can't play on the road in big games. Don't know why but there seems to be some head issues about road games.

People want to know why some fans think cal isn't a great floor coach?

When you recruit players who can't shoot at all, then let them jack up shots night after night, it tends to reflect your coaching.

I mean it happens once and a while, even to K, Cal might not be the best X's and O's guy in the game but is well above average. he doesn't just roll the ball out. But i understand your point, at some point he has to be like "Briscoe stop shooting the damn ball"

Briscoe has zero chance of getting drafted this year. What good is a 6'3" guard that cannot shoot at all? I mean, none.

This is one year when I really hope a lot of our freshman leave early.
If and NBA executive wastes a pick on Briscoe or Skal (first round), they should be fired. Murray is the only player worth taking a shot on. Lee and Poythress will never, ever play in the NBA (maybe D-league). If Briscoe doesn't develop a shot, he won't ever.

Briscoe can't hit a 2, he can't hit a 3, and he can't hit a free throw. Oh yeah, he doesn't rebound either. Why in the heck does he play and how could he ever be rated a 5 star talent. SMH.

Briscoe is really hurting this team. Cal likes him way too much for toughness. He is skill-wise a really poor player right now. We r not good enought to afford playing him no matter how high he was ranked. Hawkins has to get his minutes going forward.

Cal likes him because of the number of stars. Briscoe hasn't done much since the Duke game to earn his playing time. Willis and Skal take a lot heat, but Briscoe is bad and has gotten way too much credit for doing nothing.

I take joy in blasting people for blaming refs in our games. But this is ridiculous some of these calls. I'm fine if you call that a foul, just call it a foul every time it happens to both teams. Smh.

We might break the record for most fouls in a half. If we look at them it's a foul.
We are standing around on defense, watching LSU drive the ball and we continue to reach in, slap at the ball and bring their arms down. Refs have nothing to do with it. Our effort is pathetic. We should be losing by 40 but LSU sucks too bad to do that.

I can't say I hope it, but I won't care. Let the guys who want to really try stay, and be joined by a class which can't help but be much better than this one. I don't understand why Bilas and other's keep saying this a team with great talent. Really? Ulis is the only great player we have. Period.

Skal on the court and we have Matthews guarding Simmons? Why even have Skal out there? Kid plays like a middle schooler.

Rebounding at this point is moot. Our two bigs fouled out.. So don't bother complaining about rebounds.
