**********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD*********
- Thread starter Wall2Boogie
- Start date
just imagine if we had skill guys...we are shooting 52% from the floor, 39% from three. 10 assists on 18 baskets with just 5 turnovers.
if we had those skill guys we would be a team that shoots 60% from the floor. maybe 50% from three. because you know...those numbers are possible
What's missing this year is a rim protector. Bam does not seem to have the knack right now. SKJ probably doesn't either. Without one, we're S16 material, just is what it is. A great year by almost anyone else's standards, a mid-level disappointment for us, considering we'll lose 8 or so guys regardless.
And all you fans are stupid that complain like this, we were early, young and up by like 13 at half....time to give up. Stop watching if you expect to win by 50 all the time.
Plus, this was kind of a stupid game to schedule. No fans really want to travel this weekend and how do the players like this? Traveling to play a joke of a team right before flinals, big games like UNC and UofL....just a yawner.

Cal has an obsession with being able to switch everything. He seems to recruit to hopefully be able to do that. Just gotta wonder if that's possible nowadays. Too many good athletes and players.
Dominique has only gotten better and you are unable to assess that obvious fact
I've thought the same all year long. Everyone pumping Fox like he's John Wall, but I haven't liked how he's ran the team all year. I like Fox' s potential, but he has a long way to go. The teams shot selection has sucked all year.
Reading your incredibly ridiculous post, that's a compliment. I sure won't spend the time explaining it to you. We absolutely haven't been getting the exact players we want. Not to the extent we were in 2009-12. Cal has had more misses lately than he did in his first 3 years combined.
Try to be objective every now and then. People will start taking you slightly More seriously.
The switch defense is perhaps the best modern defense if you have the athletes for it, which we do
Yyyyyyyou are pretty much "dogging" Hawkins. Kid is doing his job, I don't know what you are looking for out of him. He hit a three and guarded his man, that's his job. The foul calls are really tight today, so tough defense takes a hit.
And there just as many who seem oblivious to the facts as they are. Competition takes a huge step up after this game. Guess we'll see.
That's being generous. There are more than that! Based on some posters in this thread we should cancel the season.
That's exactly right!!!
I'm bitching and admit it. Do I have any doubt as the whether we win this game? No. We are too deep to lose this game. Against this team.
But if his is the team that shows up for UNC and Louisville we will get our butts kicked.
Except he's not like he was, idiot. He's lost some main targets since OAD's are dispersing more than they were. Some of you lack comprehension badly.
Guys we can have that can always switch: Briscoe, Monk, Fox, Hawkins
Guys we have that shouldn't be switching every time: Humphries, Bam (he's been lost), Mulder, and probably Willis.
negative nancies and trolls absolutely ruin this board.
Exactly. we have some people here that expect UK to go on a 22-0 run to start every game. When they don't do that our fans go nuts and only know how to burn off their frustrations by trashing our players.
I don't think Hump and Willis are exactly suited to switching everything, do you?
there is no performance that would satisfy some fans. they thought we had an unbeatable team. the ucla loss has shattered them mentally. now it doesnt matter. to them...we are just a random team. horrible in many facets.
I'm with you, Pulaski Cat Fan. Although Briscoe is having an outstanding game today against inferior competition, IMHO the 2016-17 'Cats would be a much better team if Briscoe was not starting. Briscoe's return to the lineup after his injury has badly stunted the development of Fox and Monk -- both of whom were outstanding and coming into their own in Briscoe's absent. IMHO, the tandem of Fox and Monk could be the best backcourt combination in the country. But, Briscoe was anointed as "the team leader" before they ever played a game, and the powers that be will insist that that be the way it is throughout the season. Thereby, IMHO, the powers that be adversely affect our chances to win No. 9.
Cal must of had a good halftime time talk. Like the way we came out in the 2nd half
Pretty much sums up what I'm saying. We aren't terrible but, we have some obvious problem areas. If we can notice them against a garbage team like Hofstra you just know UNC and the Tards will try to exploit them.
Just gotta be better on defense and the boards.
There you go get away from that 3 point shot establish the paint .
