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

they so easily got a wide open 3 to win the game, all you have to do is spread us out and set a few screens, in no time we'll be chasing the other team around like a bunch of idiots
I can hear Cal saying it now, I messed up, this is on me, I should have called timeout. So GD frustrating!!!
The players aren't garbage. The system they're playing in is.
Good no call actually at the end. Suck to lose on a FT but the Cats didn't guard the 3-point line the whole 2nd half and never got a call either. SH had a small margin for victory but that's what happens sometimes on the road. Bottom-line, defense lost it. Travis fouled out.
come on guys.....Chill! HERRO is the key to this team. If he was hitting, this would have been a blowout. He had an off day. It happens. Everyone else played well. We just have to get Tyler on track, then sit back and enjoy.
When you start to hear things like "UK gave Seaton hall a good game..." or "great effort vs a good mid-major..."
yeah...Rome probably said similar things toward the end..."we gave the Barbarians a good fight today guys...nothing to worry about..."

You must be kidding? We are UK and you are proud we gave Seton fricking hall all they wanted?
He always says these things, but he never learns from it.
I think I'm gonna take a hiatus from here for a while. I'm so let down by this team, more so than any Cal team. No idea when I'll be back on, but in case I'm not for a while, merry Christmas to everyone.
I'm starting to accept it. Ever since the Wisconsin loss something has been off with this program.
Cal wins with talent. He has to get 2-3 of the top 5 players in the country coming out of high school to win. He is not getting those players anymore. His in-game coaching is terrible. This is a 12-15 loss team right now.
If we don't have an elite point guard that can shoot or drive on anyone to go with a great defensive big man, then the team isn't built right for what he wants to do and that definitely falls back on Cal.
Are you f’ing kidding me???
That Powell kid...every shot he threw up. Falling backwards, over the defense, ANYTHING he threw up went in. We played GREAT defense on the kid. He’s just a special player, had a great game, with a little luck on his side.
We played horrible offensively outside of PJ and made two terrible decisions at the end of the game...not calling T.O. And Keldon throwing up a terrible shot.
At this point, I have little confidence in Herro being the key. He’s had more off games than on from 3. Maybe by the end of the year he’ll put it together, but hitting the front of the rim on a wide open shot in OT was painful.
Nah, reviewed it a bunch. He was flopping and we needed a much better shot there at the end.
What I hate is that Calls says he doesn't call timeouts at that point "because he trusts his players."
So does every other team, but they call timeouts. It's called.... Wait for it.... Coaching.

THIS...I don’t want anybody else but Cal
has been an objectively bad coach this season....we can’t run a simple inbounds play and the season is a month old.
I'm not going to bash the team. However, the last 3 out of 4 seasons (Yeah, I'm counting this one too..this team is going nowhere fast.) have been end of his tenure Tubby Smith type ****. Don't tell me it hasn't been. And don't forget that even the Fox team looked like crap for the most part until about mid February of that season.
Cal just lost a game where the opponent was down to committing desperation fouls. Stupid shot at the end because he wouldn't call a timeout.
that's true about the defense on Powell, but the game winning shot was wide open
What a game! Too bad the cats didn’t come out on top, but at least there are more games to be played.
Herro needs to get his shot there.
Cal if he ever wants to win in college again has to change some of his ways. Gotta run that ball to half court and take a time out.

I hope he isn't the key to the entire season but when he plays well, we play much better. Losing Travis and perimeter defense is the saddest parts to me.
Don’t know what size tv you were watching on but guys feet clearly got under KJ’s on the shot. Watched it multiple times
He folded because his coach folded. He had no clue to call a time out just like his coach had no clue.
And that's what we shoot for at Kentucky. To give mid-majors a run for their money.
I actually agree with you, but it is still true. This team will go as far as Herro can take them. It could be a 2nd round out, or a national championship. He was NOT good today.
Man I thought Cal was great at adapting when he first got here. Now he is going to run this same garbage offense and switching defense no matter what happens. He also doesn't act like he cares about losing as long as the players get good enough to be drafted. If Kansas doesn't forfeit any games then they will be passing us up this year or next in all time wins.
