Two BS calls on Richards. Refs are missing a lot of walks and calling a lot of phantom fouls.

I watch a lot of MAAC games. Manhattan alumni, Iona friends, lived near Siena and the MAAC tournament was practically walking distance from my apartment.

IUP could be in the MAAC. Certainly their performance tonight. They actually remind me of some of Steve Mas' earlier Jasper teams.

Now, I know that isn't great either.. Barely beating a MAAC team.. But it's worth something. Don't let the opponent fool you.. Especially when we don't get the Duke whistle.

They're also doing a fantastic job getting back. Not much you can do about transition points if the team doesn't allow it. Clearly a very disciplined team.

Then again not worried

Other dude hit it on the head, running super limited offensive sets. While passing sucks and scattered on defense, I'm sure part of that is cal ran them super hard and getting their legs. Not pleasing to watch by any standard, but I highly doubt UK looks like this on the 6th

Here is to hoping they are just sleepwalking in these exhibitions bc they are Friday night tips. Hopefully the bright lights and big stage of Tuesday brings out the best of this team

Ummmm that’s not how is basketball players do things, we don’t get tired of preseason games we get tired of practice.


This team isn’t playing focused. They will Tuesday

They’re probably tired of all the preseason and ready for it to mean something

Fouls??? Please....that was bogus.

To be fair we shouldn't need a Duke whistle. Being up 11 at home to this team is a joke.

It was more of a “We’d have about 3 more titles” kind of dream thing there. Which is true if we got a Duke whistle.

Don’t post much on here anymore. Mostly during the season.

But it is funny how the same chorus always pipes up when the team is struggling or has an off night. Always with the doom and gloom that this team doesn’t have it or won’t go far, yada yada.

I guess I’m not here or pay enough attention to see what they do the other 3/4 of the season when the Cats look good. Do they actually compliment them? Or just come out of the woodwork when things are not great?

My guess—we win by 20+ and no one gives it a second thought but the miserable people who like to complain. We will see I guess.

IUP is actually a very experienced team with foreign players that can shoot, pass and defend. UK playing way too much one on one....

I'll say it, EJ is pretty soft. I'm playing PJ/Reid as much as possible and until Richards figures out how basketball works and EJ toughens up they can play spot minutes.

PJ and Reid are friggin trucks though.

The Anthony Davis team was down by 3 27-30 to Arkansas-Little Rock at the half--I wonder if people were freaking out then too. It's fine to be critical but some people act like the sky is falling when they play poorly.

This team is going to be special, very special. As in Final Four special. It's Nov. 2nd; Cal is experimenting with lineups,(whether you agree with that or not). We have freshmen who are going to grow up over the course of the season.

We will be fine folks, we will be fine.
