Hope our football team beats TN tomorrow. Because their basketball team beat us like a drum.

Richards started playing well and being active..good for him. However, he is playing against a team full of dwarfs so he should have 6 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks. I don't think those numbers are too much to ask for against SIU.

Nick Richards is the poster boy for trashing on this board but he's got 6 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks...I don't think he's the problem guys. He's not the greatest but our guards are the real issue right now.
Yeah, Nick isn't the reason the CATS are only up 3 on SIU. He seems to be doing OK tonight. :alien:

Richards has 12 rebounds and people on here are trashing him. He is way more aggressive this year. He’s a project. And he will be fine. Quade is making the same mistakes he made last year, driving amongst the trees and turning it over. Seriously, for people to lose their **** over this team so far, is embarrassing. It’s a process. It is every year. This team will be hard to beat by March. Last time I looked, they don’t hand out the championship trophy In November.
I don't think people would be as upset if we had played Duke close. But the drumming we took, along with what felt like our players giving up, has been a receipe for disaster. We've got plenty of talent, I just don't think fans thought we would take deep into the season to show it. It is what it is. I'll be here rooting for them, win or lose. But I do understand the frustration.

Dude, he wouldn’t have done that against sisters of the poor last year. He’s improved a lot.

Pretty good half. Lots of unforced errors but if we had cleaned those up, we probably score 40-45 and hold them under 30 which everyone would be pretty happy with.

I think they’re still pressing because they got *** whipped so badly the other day. We’ll figure it out eventually, don’t give up on this team.

You make a good point..but I still want to see if he can do this against a better/top 40 opponent. We need him to come up big in those types of games even more so.

Regardless I can't wait until Vols game tomm. I'll support my football team and the hard work they put in. As for our basketball team. Their just getting through the year and like a previous poster said. Just to make the D league or Europe. We have to change our style of play(i feel like fundamental basketball is coming back since AAU players are diversing where they go instead of a few teams, there not used to old school bball) We can't keep playing like this. The Cal Game has been caught up by majority of coaches. Its over. Cal is not a coach. I don't think anybody can argue against this. He recruits. Like majority of UK fans were ready for old school ball again. I'll gladly wait 4 years to have a fundamental basketball team again. Literally everybody in UK is rooting against this team(you can deny this but you know its true) so we can get a change in structure. Of all the coaches we have paid in UK history Cal is the worst ROI coach that has walked into the door.
I'll be rooting for my Cats tomm. I respect hard work. Our bball team hasn't shown any hussle.

Half the team will be playing in Europe or the G League next year.
WCS will never play in the NBA.
