We need to do something to change the pace and cause more transition opertunites.

Cal wants to run more half court for Bam but unless we can hit shots they'll just pack it in

Let's run a play for Munk to take a contested 30' shot instead if working it in to Bam. It would help if Bam had an inside game without turning it over and would pass it back out if it's not there. This team is not anywhere near good enough to win it all. Terrible defensive team and no flow in the half court offense.
Hell yes this team is good enough to win it all. Good grief, over dramatize much?

Agreed. They are actually playing like they have all season, not out of their minds. They are always less talented than the rank teams they play but they have almost people a couple because they ALWAYS play hard


Playing well yes, out of their minds no. Our defense tonight sucks!!!

Not trying to pick a fight but the bs the refs are calling is pitiful. Seems one sided to me. Just saying

Oh I'm not fighting you either. I just disagree. We likely wouldn't hit any extra ft's anyway haha

We seriously just didn't show up. Hope they arrive second half

You are either watching a different game or know nothing about basketball. Refs are consistently bad for both teams. Our lack of effort is the culprit. Not the refs. Give it a rest.

Out Rebounded by 6'5" crappers,especially giving up Offensive rebounds allowing Vol putbacks has killed the Cats,if they can't hit jumpshots from outside,I'd say it's time to either pound it in to Bam or hit some short floaters or mid-range jumpers.Can't win bricking threes all night

Guys it's all about coaching. On you Cal. You said Bam isn't getting the ball, then call a to and set up a play. Last possession was terrible. Step back three. Barnes and ut owned the first half in terms of effort and intelligent play.
Barnes out coaching Cal

Just like last year.

No question Briscoe has regressed last few games. Seems to be pushing it too much. Seems to be playing for himself only at times and too unselfish at others.

But he has not contributed anything of substance and has hurt us overall. At this point I would take the aforementioned Willis/Gabriel/Bam with Monk/Fox and be happier. Willis needs to at least pay attention on defense and we may be better that way.

Won't happen tho and truthfully prolly shouldn't. Briscoe can do it if he gets his confidence back. And Cal has clearly hitched his wagon to Briscoe.

Stop blaming the refs, you sound like complete idiots. UK was only called for 8 fouls in the first half.

Crappy shooting and getting killed on the boards is the reason they are losing.
This. Can't have it both ways. I think the refs are foing a good job in this game. This is better than the dam foul fests we've whiteness all conference season long.
Maybe if we had hit our free throws and not let a bad team score 39 points we would be winning.

We're down 5 points to a team that shot 4 times better than we did from the 3, better from the line. We did shoot better from 2. I really can't see us shoot anywhere near that bad in the second half.

It's unreal how easily they've been able to penetrate right to the hole for easy jumpers.
Fail after fail on switches. Hump and Willis scream for a matchup zone against a team
of bush league chuckers.

Only an uneducated fan would blames this debacle on officiating.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see BS fouls by a well known UK Hater Roger Ayers

UT was allowed to foul on getting position for the rebounds. We couldn't get offensive rebounds because Adabayo was shoved every which way possible. Sometimes while in the air. Pretty ridiculous calls on a lot of that action.

Recipe for an upset: raucous crowd, favorable officiating, cold shooting, poor shot selection, missed free throws. We are luck we aren't down double digits.

I still say the Cats right the ship and get the win in the second half

I kinda thought 7 rebounds was contributing something
and he only had 1 turnover that half

that being said, he's not shooting for squat, right now, and only has 2 assists. To be fair, though, the other two guards only have three between the two of them
