********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD*********
- Thread starter Wall2Boogie
- Start date
we are afraid to defend now though - not that we were doing a great job of it before
Question is, will they rush the court?

I don't disagree, Cal deserves criticism as much as praise. Something just makes me think i remember Briscoe being a better shooter before he arrived in Lex.
I am far more embarrassed by a bunch of posters tonight than I am the team.
You're right. I'm speaking out of frustration, but you can't convince me that Wynyard wouldn't come in and at least rebound the ball. That's more than Skal has given us.
talent-wise this is similar to the 2013 team. Mass exodus year before and incoming guys not nearly as skilled.
This feels just like the UCLA game - even when we cut it to 4, you never had the feeling we'd win. Poythess useless, fouling out, can't shoot. Almost the same game.
Smalls was kinda fat wasn't he? You're killing me Smalls.
My bad, the kid that said that was the chubby one.

It's not been called pretty but lets not pretend that even remotely close to why we lost.
Start getting Hump minutes. We still don't really have a true bigman, even for next year.
But no, he'll get another 30 minutes the rest of the year. And when we need him next year, he just won't be ready.

Education? These guys aren't here for an education. They're here for a payday.
I value shooting at this level more than "upside". I think Doron Lamb was the perfect 2 guard for college. Good measurables and reliable.
Mulder is the guy that didn't get any meaningful minutes in a blowout game Saturday. Then, he gets tossed into this pressure cooker. I don't see how anyone can defend this nonsense. This is knee jerk at best.
Cal blows the 08 title game because his players can't hit.
He blows the 2010 title game because they couldn't hit.
HE wins the title in 2012 with the best percentage shooter he's ever had.
He goes to the NIT the following year because he recruited players like Goodwin who offer nothing but one dimensional aspects to their game and couldn't hit anything outside.
He answers it in 2015 by recruiting a player like Briscoe.
It's starting to resemble the definition of insanity. When is he going to start learning from these mistakes. We might stay talented but he won't make the impact he could have.

This team struggles at times and may even get bounced before sweet 16. but this is not an NIT team even as bad as they played tonight.
Not bashing u at all here but..... can u tell me ONE part of our game tonight that is acceptable for a UK team?
Lot of this has to fall on Lee and Poy . They were both terrible tonight. Both upperclassmen .
and it was back to 10 in about twenty seconds
good teams don't let that happen
I'm tellin ha man. Players like Delk and Lamb will make you. This upside "lanky defender" crap at the guard spot is bullsh--
We are lucky to have the Duke and UofL wins - without them, we might be an NIT team. Let's be honest, this team will struggle for road wins and LSU/Vandy at home will be challenging.
