This team has no clue right now.

A bunch of guards who can't hit free throws or shoot. Geez, if Tyler Ulis makes that much of a difference to us then we aren't going anywhere. No wonder Cal plays him 40 minutes a game. They all look disinterested right now and they have no confidence in what they are doing.

Relax Debbie. Briscoe and Murray both sat several minutes because Cal didnt want them to pick up a 3rd foul in the 1st half.
My boy Willis kept the Birds at bay with that 3 ball.
Bullitt Co. In da hoooooouse!

Well I don't think we can play any worse than that. Hopefully they don't prove me wrong in the second half.
I can't believe how lost Skal is. He has nothing but fouls on his stat line. What is he waiting for? Basically we are down a man when he is in the game.

I don't get some of you dudes. How was it not obvious that Tyler was that important before this? This team is full of freshman and guards may be some of the harder positions to bring along.

Can you imagine Michigan St. without Valentine? Bet they wouldn't look like a top 5 team. How about Duke last year without Okafor? Not surprising at all that Tyler is that guy for us this year. FT's are the only real surprise I've seen thus far. TOs are going to happen to freshman guards playing with other freshmen and I expect that to improvement as they get a better feel for the offense.

I still don't think we should be having this much trouble with Illinois St. but they are laying a nice blueprint of hack-a-cat because we can't pull away only hitting 50%.

Why isn't Murray running the point? Briscoe isn't doing a very good job at all.. Hell let Hawkins run it and see..

Need an inside out game to get Murray and Willis some open threes. Where's Mulder? Seems Cal is in love with Briscoe's bricks.

I think you missed the point entirely. Nobody said anything about Briscoe and Murray sitting out.
But yes, I was glad to see that three go down.

Definitely not ready to play......maybe we get some coaching at half-time
Briscoe looking a lot like Archie Goodwin
They need to come out with fire in their bellies or we're going to lose this game. Hopefully they run some something that looks like an offense.

Honestly we should be happy to be tied....our two most talented players Murray and Skal gave us nothing.

Mulder missed a defense assignment 15 sec in........his rope is not as long as the OAD's

This team is not a good defensive team right now. If they don't shoot well, they won't look good. If Murray can stay out of foul trouble, they'll win by 10 but we live and die with our shooting and we'll lose some games bc of it

I'm not sure I've seen a Kentucky team put up so many bricks in a season let alone 7 games.
Were you under a rock in 2013? Must've been or you aren't really smart about basketball. Probably both, tbh

I guess someone else is beating a damn good Illinois state team by 15. I guess some other team isn't startin it's best player tonight against that good team. I guess we didn't beat Duke and NPOY ESPN golden boy, Chazz Michael Michael's.

I guess our young freshman are supposed to beat teams like this by 25? 35? 45? I guess they don't get time to learn the speed and flow of college basketball. I guess no one should get by now that cal schedules early tough games against teams that throw different looks, like this.

Look back at his Memphis schedules.

We need 2 things we don't have:

Ability to hit shots
Solid post player

Can't go far without either

We have no good shooters other than Ulis. 16 missed free throws tonight. No excuse for that whatsoever. Skal is nowhere to be found tonight.

Heck don't try talking sense. Many seem to carry their cents in their pockets.

Don't buy that. Murray is also a good shooter, and Willis can hit the 3. I think this team will be shooting a decent amount better by the end of the year.

I'll say this; If this is all it takes for anyone to start ripping the players-They are NOT UK fans. They are pretenders OR TROLLS.

The sky didn't fall.

Some of you really don't understand how Cal's teams work. EVERY year (except last year) we look ragged against a few cupcackes, show up under the bright lights against "name" schools and reveal our true identity about midway through the SEC slate.

Chill out and relax, y'all.

The hand wringing would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. This isn't video games. We're not going to beat everyone by 40.
