*********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********
- Thread starter Wall2Boogie
- Start date
I'm not the one yelling in caps. I am calm. I'm simply stating a fact that this team doesn't have it.
Hell, the team we seen over at the Bahammas would crush this team thats on the court right now. I mean, I am nervous as **** about Duke now.
Too many morons. Already talking about Duke at halftime. We aren’t playing defense, and we are sloppy with the ball. Change that and we’re where we were in the Bahamas. It also doesn’t help that Quade can’t hit the ocean right now.
You do realize they are one of the 3 best D2 teams right? This is a better team then some of the lower D1 teams we will play this season. A great game to have as a preseason game. You usually play D3 teams not d2 .
I have zero concerns about D this early as obviously freshmen ( besides Hagans) aren't going to know how to play it as they have never had to . I love seeing our O humming like it did most of the half. If we are going to beat the UNC's and Duke's of the world early it will be outscoring them . If we are going to beat the UT's and UF's of the world later it will be with D which I think we will be a great defensive team come Feb.
Jesus people, we are experimenting with lineups. Cal is subbing essentially a new unit every 10 mins, just to experiment.
This team we are playing is a top 10 D2 team, not some scrub nobody team. That Diaz kid would start on some bottom-tier SEC teams.
It’s an exhibition.
My first half observations:
Travis is a beast
We can shoot the ball really well
We really need to work on feeding the post.
This is going to be a flat out special defensive team, but they still have a lot of work to do there. They’ll get better every game.

After Duke played Ferris Wheel State, maybe they will beat Infant Baby University by 110..
Need to have a starting five and let those guys work together. Too many turnovers from inconsistent guard play and bigs constantly out of position with few defensive stops in the paint. Relying too much on the outside shot and not using their size advantage in the paint for layups and put backs....looks like a more one on one-pro style system than a team oriented one.
Sloppy play. Bad D. Mediocre shooting.
Blargh. I just want to see this team put a hurt on somebody soo bad.
Right now this little DII team thinks they can beat us. If they keep shooting 3s and hanging around, that think might become a too close to truth.
This feels like a trap game in February when it shouldn’t. Come on guys. Come out in the second half and play angry!

Growing pains with sophomores and a senior ....? And a early head start?? Get the eff out of here with growing pains.
Dude, if you want to justify us struggling with an Indiana Pennsylvania mesh up team, go for it. I am not going to though. We should smack this team by 40 at the least.
I’ll make sure to come back towards the end of the season and ask you if this team still doesn’t have it.
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a zone today.
We focusing on man to man or something? Lol. We just seem be like what hell we supposed be doing out here? Calm down. Let em figure it out. I think our guards have got to get where there going. 1st. I think we just want win and never let off gas . but they havent learned yet. I see all positivity, no care atm. Go cats.
They're bored and ready for season to start. That being said. I don't know who started out game. But Herro needs to be out there with Quickley, PJ, Travis and Johnson. I feel like that's the lineup that would let us get a quick start. Cal will probably start Richards and Green though. That's ok. But I sure hope we are not battling uphill the whole game like
It seemed we did last year.
It seemed we did last year.
shot 53% from the floor, 47% from three (7-15) and 100% from the line.
this team might get lucky and make a magical run in the tourney. It won't be because they were the most dominant team in the country and only lose 1 to 3 games the whole year.
If we played zone we would win a hundred to 24.
Ummm we were up 30-13 ten minutes into the game. They then got hot from 3 and made 4 in 3 minutes and we had a few careless early season like turnovers. We are still up 9 at halftime. That’s not struggling. You don’t go up 17 on a team in 10 minutes and be struggling. Ridiculous people on this forum. This UK team is super specials. Stop bitching all the time and enjoy the season.

That's what's worrying me..they shot great, actually..and they're only up by 9 at halftime. Imagine if they hadn't shot so great. :flushed:
But we did so that’s not the case. Can’t live your life by “ifs”
