********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[LineSkiCat14]

Cal just needs to punish players.. Idc if they sre future lotto picks. Hold them accountable.. If they don't respond or fight back, put them on the bench.

Ouch! Lost to a **** Vols team in Knoxville and choked a home game away against Kansas. Not a good week.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Ok so we are young and next year we will be young hmm something seems odd

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Can we talk about the truly non-existent game Gabriel had? He fell in love with the 3 pt shot after getting hot, and hasn't done jack since.

 

[true-blue1]

Well this is crap. This has not gone the way I was hoping or thinking. We do not have a smart team. What do you think drop out the top 10?

Starts with the Captain steering the ship and that's the Coach!

Yea, Let's hold our breath and hope for a resolution.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

You can save 15% on car insurance with geico that is good newes

 

[Seckatz]

The young ever year is not getting it done

 

[JoeBeeHall]

maybe I can score a ticket to a game now .

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

I hate Jay Bilas. I really do. POS

What did he say?

 

[Hopmix]

This team is the basketball equivalent to Louisville football. Against any team with talent they are garbage. They got lucky with UNC because monk was hot. Outside of that they've lost to every good team they played. more average basketball from the bluegrass.

 

[kyjeff1]

I said it in 2015 after the loss and thought I overreacted, but to hell with draft picks, I don't watch the NBA, I don't care how rich they get, at some point the priority has to change to UK and not the nba.
If Cal can't win with that team he damn sure ain't going to win with this one.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Whoa!!! Where is that 20 point win that most of you were predicting?!?! Beat you short handed! **** Kentucky and their ***** *** fans!!!

Ty for that comment may you go straight to hell with the rapists .

 

[HenryMuto]

59% FT

17 turnovers

That's the game in a nut shell.

Going to have to shake it off beat Georgia at home Tuesday then have a tough tough game at Florida.

#1 seed is no longer an option. Something we all covet but we can still get #2 seed if we win out. A tall order to win all those road games left.

If we can't then we will be like last year with #4 seed and a brutally tough 2nd round matchup will be coming again.

 

[Seckatz]

Back to the drawing board maybe they will click but is very disheartening to lose at home to two blue blood teams. Cal needs make some adjustments and actually plan for the opponent

 

[HenryMuto]

A key turning point in the game was with about 2:52 left the ball looked to go clearly off Kansas out of bounds down 3 but they gave them the ball and they ended up scoring on that possession.

Refs can't get every call right but that one clearly turned the game around.

 

[BluCroo]

Kentucky ran out with a big lead. Kansas made adjustments. Kentucky didn't respond to them.

Some of the young teams Cal has coached have arrived with the mentality to form into an unselfish, cohesive unit. They don't require a lot of coercion to make them meld into a team. Those teams make Cal look good.

This team doesn't have that and it's making Cal look bad.

This team needs to be coached *hard*.

 

[HenryMuto]

RPI has fallen to 11 below Florida who is at 10 at this moment.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Cal has done a horrible job with this team. Bragged about how good they will be on defense and this is the worst defense at UK since I don't know when. He just lets them play like they are on a playground and get schooled by coaches who can mix defenses up and slow us down. This is 2 straight years we have a team I just don't really like the make up of and they just aren't fun to watch. That is unless they play a team with a clueless coach and no talent.

Next year won't be any better with a bunch more young players and likely no outside shooting. Might be time to recruit a few less 5 stars and a few more 4 stars that will come back another year.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

We need a Point Guard .

We also need someone to provide some interior defense.

 

[Atrain7732]

This group has jumped the shark. I am gonna post angry which I always try not to do. This is gonna be over the top but I am frustrated so f$&k off.

Monk and Fox reading too much of their own press clippings. Briscoe always only looking to get his for his stat sheet. May be the most frustrating player since Saul Smith for me personally. Bam hustles but has zero post moves and no discipline on defense. Hump has regressed since being at U.K--gives us nothing. Willis and Mulder have had their confidence eroded bc they are rarely ever allowed to play thru mistakes and they see Briscoe with the longest leash imaginable for no reason other than Cal trying to get him drafted. Even tho neither play and kind of defense, I would love to see Willis or Mulder over Briscoe every game. IDGAS what people say, I just think Briscoe is a selfish player. Always yelling at the refs and making excuses when he messes up. Doesn't seem to mind when they lose. Just irks me. Rant over. Sorry but I do feel better slightly.

I don't actually know what is true or what is not in that spiel. But, it is honestly the way I feel and I have to get it out. We have gone Downhill since UNC and it seems everything to do with effort and heart. Half these guys are out the door mentally and that has not happened before with Cal. Just don't know what to think.

Yeah the 1-9 fgm/fga and 2 points over the last 2 games is pretty bad.
