Yeah, I guess you have a point, college seniors should never make freshman mistakes since they've been playing college ball for over 3 years…… WAIT.

It’s going to take more than 3-4 minutes and a few points to get people to believe in PJ after his below average start to the season.
It's almost scary how much PJ reminds me of a freshman Terrence Jones. Can absolutely take over when his head is in the game, or can disappear if it's not. So much talent though...even greater potential than Jones if he can develop his jump shot. He's got better touch inside than Jones and uses his strength better at times.
SGA is amazing. That kid is going to be special.
Very impressive defense. Cal must have made their lives hell in practice after that UCLA game.
Knox needs to slow down a bit. He's trying to do too much. He'll be fine.

Nice post. This is what happens as the young ones learn and gain confidence. It's not easy to make the transition from high school ball to major college level program and succeed straight from the get go. Hell, even AD has his leaning curve.
IMO our biggest problem isn’t the talent or even the coaching
It was the playing hero ball that’s the problem. Once the team decided to work as a team...even with the sloppiness at times...the run happened
Gave team a bit of grief after UCLA for a lack of effort. Huge turnaround so far today. Love the fight, aggressiveness, winning 50/50 balls!!, etc. This is how this team HAS to play.
Wrong! Playing best D of the year.
He didn't deserve to be trashed. NONE OF THESE KIDS DESERVE THE CRAP THAT'S BEEN POSTED ABOUT THEM IN THIS THREAD. It's ********. They're kids and we f'ing knew they were going to play erratic at times. We talked about it all summer long. Everyone agreed, but that doesn't prevent you guys from trashing these kids.
Hope Knox got the message that you either play hard or you sit.
Agree. Would love to see this to be the keystone game for him to turn around and be a great player.
I agree, I'm glad he is playing with more effort and playing overall better. Hopefully he can string it together for a few games.
Kansas players "shopping". The jokes write themselves.
Need to come out and play well the first 6 minutes of the 2nd half, because UL will go into the full court hatchet defense for the remaining 20 minutes. The only good thing is that they are in a little foul trouble and if it gets called half-way fairly, they will have some guys on the bench by the 12:00 minute mark.
Random halftime musing: pretty sure David Padgett has no effing idea what he’s doing.
I tried to make myself listen to Seth Davis but I just can't. Feel like I'm listening to a cat Screech LOL
New car dealership would have been better.
Biggest difference so far today is hustle. They are getting to more of the 50/50 balls, which is leading to easy points. And better challenges on defense.
The key question - can we put TWO halves together?

Mistakes? You mean total lack of effort pretty much the whole season and being non-existent most games? For being touted a beast before this year, I’ve yet to see that. I hope he turns it up though. Glad he is showing total effort this game.
To be honest, the boys he’s got to work with wouldn’t warrant an FBI investigation. [roll]
He played very soft defense and picked up at least one lazy foul. He also made some questionable drives. When you only are leading or tied in two categories (turnovers and fouls), you need to change some things in the 2nd half.
I'm impressed that UL isn't getting any unchallenged shots at the rim. This team has really improved their defense.
Why is the girl in Buffalo Wild Wings commercial ordering when she has burger and fries already?
It's constructive criticism, people are pleased with their effort but you have to hit free throws better than they are. Cal also preaches both hands on the ball and they were not doing that either. We want them to do good and win this is a message board, this is where people hash it out. Compliments and criticism are handed out when they are warranted. Cal will say the same thing about hitting put backs and grabbing the ball, is it ****** when he sez it.
I don't see them overcommitting as much trying to get a steal and giving up a path to the basket. I've seen too much of that all season.
That guy isn't even a Kentucky basketball fan bro.
Yes yes yes, it's the one thing that gives me hope that we can be a special team this year.
Some of you all seriously under rate Jones and his time here. Outside of flexing for no reason the two players have very little in common.
Had Jones been on a couple of these recent vintage **** Cal teams he would be remembered like Kenny Walker.
I'm nervously optimistic.
The Big Anus will be back in the second, and although Louisville deserved the foul calls in the 1st, I expect the refs will try to even them out in the 2nd.

Beast? Who said he was going to be a beast in November/ December? Can we give the kid most of his freshman season? It's not like he was a top 10 recruit. He has the tools to be a beast but it's December and he's a Freshman.
Where is your college highlight reel or stat sheet? Obviously you were a bad *** in college.
