Still having trouble with interior defense. Bam needs to learn to set his feet on the baseline...UK needs him to be a defensive stopper under the rim

Think he's been given a lot of reps defending the perimeter, which he's shown strong ability to do as a big guy.

He's also not a shot blocker like we're accustomed to having, which I think is why Cal likes Gabriel on the floor so much and why our athletic guards are such a needed bonus.

I also think by the end of the year Bam will be a solid shot blocker. He's got all the tools and Cal and KP have too good a track record, even with undersized or under talented guys.

But it'll be a process. These kids can't learn and master everything all at once. Thankfully there's no one better at this particular process than our coach.

If Ulis were having the game Briscoe is having (and has had so far this season) you guys would start a million threads and build a statue for him.

That Valenti kid is the worst shooter I've ever seen, including middle-aged guys at the park. Oh my god.

The real test is Tuesday night. We played awful in the first half but the 2nd half we have looked much better. Bam needs to assert himself more down low if we want to beat Michigan state. After tuesday Kansas will fall out of the top ten even though I hope they beat puke

Yep...MSU has a more experienced group and will rebound the ball on the offensive glass. I can see Bam being in foul trouble early...

Gotta remember this team is learning like all the young teams Cal has had and will be. Enter come march. With that said, this team is ahead of the curve at the guard position unlike past teams like the twins and Teague.

Not a bad outing for a guy who's overrated, slow, can't score, can't rebound and isn't better than Humphries.
