IQ had a bad shooting day as a starter.
I understand what Cal is trying to do with Whitney and Brooks, but this team has reached a point in this season where it can't be at the expense of losing to a horrible SEC team on the road.
And make no mistake, USC is a horrible team this year. Cal obviously thought he could experiment early and still win the game. This game was lost in the first 8 minutes of the first half.
There are plenty of minutes in the game that can be given to these underdeveloped freshmen without giving them starter minutes.
And if you think it doesn't matter when IQ or any player gets their minutes as long as they get them, you probably never played the game. We had an opportunity to put USC away early last night and did not do it because we had out top shooter on the bench playing behind two freshmen that are simply not ready to play meaningful minutes at this level.
Cal needs to be up front with both players and their parents/handlers. Neither of these players are going to be NBA draft picks this year if Cal plays them 40 minutes a game. And it is certainly not going to help anyone get there playing as a 7/8 seed in the tournament without a chance of advancing.
Time to put the team first.

Suggesting Quickley starts has people all riled up? Amazing.
BS. Instead of spouting off with nothing of substance, give your reasoning as to why the best lineup should not start each game. Especially taking into consideration we start every single game very slow out of the gate and generally have 5 turnovers within the first 5 minutes.
Step up and make an appealing counter to the OP or STFU. All I have seen from you is pissing on others opinions.
There are fans that get more excitement when they feel they have more ammunition to say “Cal stinks and I’m right” than they do when we win. This thread is already proving it. Their post count picks up, they start more threads, etc. when we lose. They’d rather say “see, I’m right” than UK win. It’s why you can’t take any of them seriously.
Didn't say that, let me spell it out for you, UK did not lose because Quickley didn't start the game. I am not the only poster refuting your point either. You need to quit while you are behind
I like Quick off the bench. Some players just do better watching the game for a few minutes. The main thing is that he plays big minutes and finishes the game. I thought this was his worst start in a while with him starting. I like him as that 6th man. We haven't had problems starting well, it's mostly been finishing so him starting does nothing for us. As long as he plays 30+ minutes I'm good with him coming off the bench. Especially with how he looked early in the starting role.
I’m still holding out hope the light turns on for Whitney, personally.

Actually, I thought it was pretty obvious that IQ was, at the very least, our 3rd best player. I liked what he did for us last year and with him being a steady veteran guard, it was a no brainer to me.Such a silly thing when someone brings back this kind of thing. No one could of known he would become this good . He was decent in non con play but it wasn't till SEC play that he became great. Now he is 3rd team AA IMO . But people always look stupid in 20/20 hindsight.

Yeah, you really got me. I said Quickly should play 30+ mins regardless of early in the season before he started playing his best BB. Good one.:flush: I wonder what I could find if I went back on all your posts. Huh? You're a loser. What a reach. Poor fellow.[roll][poop]

Cal was just trying to get other guys going, but for UK to win, IQ needs to be on the floor as much as possible.

Lol I think the power company shut his lights off for good.I’m still holding out hope the light turns on for Whitney, personally.
Would it affect us dramatically different if at all if he came off the bench but still played 30+ minutes? We start games slow and still do, it's how we finish them. Do you really think this is a great deal if he comes in the first 5 minutes instead of starting as long as he gets his minutes? I said he should play 30+ minutes and that was before he even started playing that well. Wow, what a reach.Just for kicks. Looks like IQ starting worked.
Abuse the privilege LFAO. Because early on I said he should play 30+ minutes but I was fine with him coming off the bench LOL. What else you got. Dig deep.:flush: Gotta be more than that though for that statement.Have at it. I have been wrong before. But I try not to abuse the privilege as much as you.

He's a loser. All I can think of is he has been stewing for a year when he was picking for UK to lose and was wrong again and again and I called him out for it. This is all he could find one me LMFAO I said quickly should play 30+ minutes a game and he thinks that's a wrong statement by me because I liked how he was playing and giving us energy off the bench early in the year. What a dipshit. Must be a slow night in his parent's basement.Are we in a competition? I really didn’t read that anyone didn’t want IQ not to succeed so why the pissing contest? Plus wasn’t this originally a poll for different opinions?

I just put my vote in for THE DRAGON. That dude’s gonna be a lotto pick this year.
I get it man he's an idiot. I said Quickly should play 30+ minutes. 30+ minutes and he acts like I was wrong because I like the idea of a guy coming off the bench early to give us energy and a spark which I knew Quick would do. I have been a supporter of him all year long. I didn't vote for another player to start over him I just liked him coming in with that spark.My only point was, I thought it was a real good thread not like those that bashed Richards his first two years here. I’ve always liked Q even when he was coming off the bench. But right now he’s the best that we have along with Nick.
Lol I think the power company shut his lights off for good.
Sad. Anyone can pick one game to make a point and it's pointless. I said this early in the year and still said I wanted him to play 30+ minutes. You are really reaching and it's sad. Things change as the season goes and I supported him then and I do now. Do you think to say a guy should play 30+ minutes is a bad thing? LMFAO Do you still think SDSU could be an E8 team LOL?Calling people names when all I did was show what you posted. Own it.
Watch the 2001 USC game above and get back to me on whether the first 5 minutes of the game means anything or not.

Why don't you get a life? We are playing great and I stuck with this team when others were yelling NIT and other BS. Love Quick and always have. You said I was wrong a lot. WHAT ELSE U GOT SON?Why don't you call Cal and tell him to put him back on the bench?

You said I'm wrong a lot. I'm waiting. What else do you have besides me saying Quickly should play 30+ minutes and I liked him coming off the bench as a spark early on in the year. [smoke]
Look away! Now do what you probably do best and play with yourself. I'm bored with you.You really want me to look for things? Ok.
Yes, SDSU could be an EE team. That means it is possible. Never said it was likely. Did not guarantee it.
