Skal has always been able to shoot jumpers, but destroying his confidence by forcing him to be something he's not so early into his freshman year is not a genius move. As I'm typing this, Cal literally said the same thing during the half-time interview
Good post... Some people just don't get it.

I think Cal is going to want him to come back to develop that part of his game - right now play to his strengths and let him build confidence.
I hope so but I doubt Skal comes back. This is where the system fails us UK fans. We might only see the real Skal for a few games than he'll be gone because he has "potential".
But if Skal were to come back…. Wow.

Yeah, true - especially if he keeps gaining confidence as he is tonight

Good post... Some people just don't get it.

Several of us posted about this weeks ago. It was very obvious. The only question was whether Cal would be willing to admit that he was wrong in how he was trying to use the kid on the court. Thank goodness he was man enough to admit that he was wrong and is willing to do the things necessary to get the kid ready for March.

Murray trying to get involved but having all kinds of issues on offense tonight. Really surprising.

Cal just admitted himself, "I probably screwed this kid up". Talking directly about the change in approach and how he should have been playing him away from the basket a bit more. It's something that a ton of UK fans were calling for anyway. I'll give him credit for showing some flexibility finally.
I am sure Cal will be thrilled to know you are gonna give him some credit for showing some flexibility. And, of course, Cal should always listen to what a ton of UK fans are calling for.

Skal got the start 2nd half?
Nice leap and steal - can forgive the stepping out of bounds. Skal is really stepping up tonight
About Murray - he's not doing anything differently than he normally does; it's usually 2nd half that he heats up offensively. Defensively he's done pretty well and can't fault his hustle

I don't give two ***** how open Derek is. He is hitting those shots. So great to see him thriving. Confidence going up every game boys. Go Cats

Labissiere has tied his career high for blocks with four. That last one was pretty impressive. :clap:

We cannot be high level with Willis scoring buckets. If we rely on this we are done for.

Willis playing out of his mind. Skal playing like he's a top ten prospect. Those two players completely change this team. I know it's mizzou, but there's a reason we're crushing what Vegas thought too... It's just a new team when those two are on.

Just 5 so far total in first 3:30 of second half
