Things I loved about last night

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

Ware and Onyenso's scrappiness and hustle, Ware's ft stroke looking much better, the high basketball IQ's of Frederick and Thiero, multiple people knocking down 3's.

What I've already seen enough of: Toppin playing the game so "cooly"...like he's trying to show everyone how it is so easy for him that's he's bored? Also, Jacob's not to the point where he can make a play off the dribble...he need's to recognize this, and become a catch and one dribble, shoot or pass type player.

It seems like compared to most people I’m way more willing to give Toppin the benefit of the doubt for a month or so. And that’s fine. Last thing I wanna do is look outside my door and see eight billion carbon copies of me.

But I will say this. It has to suck massively to have basketball be your whole thing, and so far you’re just a regular guy, and your brother is a frickin’ NBA All Star.

Toppin is going to be a lot better this season than many are giving him credit for.

You nailed it with Toppin I don't understand why he does all the extra stuff but I really am concerned he's going to be attempting to put on a "show" for nba scouts and take I'll advised shots etc..in many instances those shots would be better off going to other guys.

Jacob needs to play hard with lots of energy and make the hustle plays like he was doing his first few years here. That's where he is at his best and that's what will also be best for him to showcase for the next level. He isn't a one on one break you down and get to the basket type of guy. He just isn't. A few threes here and now when we are playing well and within the flow of the offense is ok but a coach needs to get in his ear and let him know these things.

His brother will never make an all star game. UD is my second favorite team(1,000,000 times less than UK) too so I love Obi but he is a role player and always will be.

Toppin does not let the game come to him, most of the time.

I think Toppin’s issue is simply a poor bb IQ. Just don’t think he thinks the game, but is focusing too much on acting the part.

So many of these guys are so confident that they don't realize when they are hurting their team.

BJB was the worst I've ever seen, he just didn't care, he was going to get his. Toppin isn’t anywhere near that, but the sefishness he showed at times, is not something that can be a normal thing this year. Cal has to get a handle on it. You can't allow a player to do that.

i didn’t watch the game but by the reactions we nearly double up a team without three of our top 8 players and we need to put a leash on one of the guys many pegged as a breakout star?

I really wish Toppin would quit his admiring himself stares after every basket he makes.
Drive the damn ball nobody can stop you!!

I want to actually be half as good at anything as Toppin thinks he is at basketball.
