WE CHOKED

[BlueElvis]

Tennessee was tired and on the verge of giving up, but we decided to slow everything down and Tennessee got their legs back.

your exactly right coach!! I was sitting right behind the UK bench and I heard Cal say.."slow it down..let's let them back in the game"..dude you are good..

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

I wish I was, then I wouldn’t feel so damn sick right now.....

You’re so full of ****.

And Barnes went to press and zone. Imagine a coach adjusting?

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

He does his job well, but it's not good enough for this particular team. This team needs scoring, which is something he doesn't provide.

So why him and not several other guys who just aren’t reliable in that department.

Bottom line is PJ & Reid got the shaft and wound up with 20 & 28 minutes.

Both recipients of two **** foul calls.

Whateva... Live in Manchester Ky and we despise the Vols here in SE KY......... Strong Kentucky Pride coming from this poster.............

We gave this game away with critical turnovers in the most critical points of the game......

We have fans that always say you need a loss, so there’s one.

I tend to think a loss refocuses a team. However, UT beating the hell out of us a few weeks ago was that loss.

Up 7 or 8 with 3 minutes to go--gotta pull that out.

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

Do you think they are? By the way, I don't expect the Freshmen to be. It's what happens when you don't have more experience. UT is uber-experienced and that helped them.

Unless this is a stance you’ve had for awhile (wouldn’t make it right, but at least you’d be consistent), making that kind of judgement off of one game (particularly this game) is silly. This was basically an elite eight/final four game.

True but it won't change in the NCAA Tournament. Prepare yourself, man.

You’re a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

 

[Cats192]

Better to have this happen now than in a week.

We looked the part of an elite team. We went blow for blow with one of the top 6 teams in the country. We're in it.

 

[new era cat]

A Calipari team never chokes.

God help any Cal team that is close at the end any longer.
We need top 5 talent to overcome the staff under the 4 minute mark.
We are seeing it over and over....

Were not focused!! We’re to busy flexing for the TV cameras

It may pay dividends if we’re up 8 with three to go in the tournament. Or they could forget and do it again, that was certainly a lesson if they are in the receiving mood.

Neither are NBA 1st rounders this year. Not sure Hagans would get drafted at all right now. Both can be first rounds if they stick around another year or two but not right now. Tonight it showed. They both got eaten alive by less talented players who are more developed.

Good points but unfortunately they'll both get "positive" feedback from the scouts after working out with certain teams. If either are back I'll be shocked.

 

[anon_q409idbs5m40a]

Championship caliber teams respond well to adversity. Giving up a 8 point lead with 3 minutes left is a choke. Even with refs calling crap all game long we built that lead. I think we thought the game was over with 3 minutes left. Plus, Cal ALWAYS plays not to lose with a lead late in the game. Again, that approach comes back to bite us in the ***.

Final Four teams do not let leads like this slip away when the game is on the line. They did get a lot of help from the officials but it still should have never happened. The turnovers on Herro and Hagans at the end are inexcusable at this level. This is a prime example of why college basketball is considered to be a guard's game.

I just don't care for stall ball with 5 minutes left and team is on a run. Just takes the air out of it

 

[Kydeckus]

1000%

Hagans and Herro the supposed NBA 1st rounders can't get the ball up against a bunch of 3 stars

Ur an idiot

 

[Cowboys&Wildcats]

As far as the guards go, he's shown the least amount of improvement from an offensive standpoint.

Just gonna die on that hill huh. If anything Keldon is the guy who we need more from consistently.

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

Your posts are WEAK as our execution was in finishing and closing this game out.....

You showed me...You’re just some dumb old hick who doesn’t know what they are talking about.
