Biggest horseshit technical foul I've ever seen called. CBB has become "If you're not playing at home, you're going to get hosed by the officials". Cal didn't know what to say or do.

Skal has to get smart enough to not get suckered into responding to stupid stuff. Obviously he learned nothing from the last game.

Auburn hit 3's out of their heads, and they look very tired. UK, just gotta keep pushing through all the crap shooting and officiating. We are just not good enough this year to have much room for error.

I have ABSOLUTELY NO clue how Cal kept from getting a Tech on that crap on Skal!!!!!! He had every right to go ballistic on that DOUCHE-NOZZLE REF that called that SH......

I see a bit more fire from Skal, some of that was misguided. But it's an improvement in my eyes.

Willis is turning into a savior for us. This dude needs and has earned 20+mpg.. certainly with how bad our front court is.

We're up by 5 on the road in the SEC.. I'll take it.

Jay Williams basically saying Willis's weakness is shooting the ball shows he has no clue about Dericks game. Also, he can't add. Willis with 5 points and 8 boards, not 4 points and 6 boards. Maybe Jaywill is having a brain fart after Duke went down at home to ND.

8 boards doesn't sound right, seems like he has 10 or more. Went thru stretch where he got about every board

Good first half by Willis. Playing with a lot of energy. Skal had a dunk so I am sure his draft status just increased. He looks lost most of the time he is on the court.

7 points. 8 boards. 1 steal. 1 block. 1 assist. Derek Willis kept this team in the game in the first half by pounding the glass. He might have had a lapse or 3 on defense, but he was pretty solid other than that. Our guards are shooting 36% for the game. Must get better production with them since Poy and Lee are no shows offensively.

Skal has got to get smarter on how he reacts to the opposing players mouths and nudges. He's getting suckered in to the retaliation call.

He needs to act like he got killed when the opposing player FIRST bumps him. Why can't our players learn this?????!!!!!!

Can we possibly trade Skal for a good three star player now?

If Skal were a three star, we'd be probably be excited about his potential given his shooting touch and watching him develop over the course of a few seasons.

I understand that Skal is trying to show Cal and his teammates that he is tough. The kid can't win for losing.

Yes Willis played a great 1st half. But, we WILL NEED Poy's D on Bowers in the 2nd half. Not saying Poy needs to play more that Willis... just that we'll need his D at LEAST!

Dad always said if you can't say something good about someone just don't say anything. So my opinion on Skal will fall silent.

Willis played well defensively. If you are referring to his original man hitting 2 3's he had to collapse the lane because our guard got beat bad off the the pick and pop. If he doesn't collapse it's a wide open layup. Guarantee you if he had not played it right Cal would have yanked him. Willis has problems at the defensive end, but today has not been the day.

The announcers have said that Ulis is under the weather. Ulis said at the beginning of the year it was up to
Willis on how good he could be. Hope for his sake he keeps this up.

How many games will it take Poy to match his points from the Bama game?

I'm going o/u of 4

Being disciplined IS showing the coach and team that you ARE tough!! Cal will take up for him, he just needs to learn from his mistakes.

OK... Willis was good this half, but what I saw is a very poor Auburn team. I think he should get some run but still can't defend above average D1 talent. (from what I see)
