Did we not have any timeouts orrrrrr?
Why do we play like a bunch of 3rd graders the final minute of close games?

What just happened lol
- Thread starter willyclyde
- Start date
We lost, you should be used to it by now
Another season with a double digit number in the L column. Nothing new for the 9 million man
Cal is not a good coach but he is trying.Give him a cookie.
That final minute was hectic to say the least. The definition of when to call a timeout. And he still took it home with him smh
WTF! We lost our PG 3 mins into the game. Our big man didn't play but 10 mins in the 1st. Our best player didn't play half the 2nd. What the hell do you expect?
We didn’t have a point guard. lol They fought back and then it turned into a s*¥T show. Is what it is.
It was too hectic to even have time to think about calling a TO. Loony birds are out for sure tonight! This one wasn’t on Cal.
Why call a timeout? We were struggling to get into an offensive set on out of bounds plays. Letting them play it out was the right move.
We made a great comeback after crapping the bed for 10 minutes ..down two of our ball handlers... with atrocious officiating.. and we made a huge play to get the ball back down 1 and Oscar makes a terrible play.
We were fouled before getting to half court on the next possession but it wasn't called.

Lol. You guys are the reason I keep coming to this board. It’s like watching a toddler lose his **** at Walmart.
I’m not discouraged by this loss. No Wheeler, TyTy going down. Oscar going out. Impressed it was as close as it was. This team at full strength is better than LSU.
If only UK was a school that could fill out a full roster with players...wonder if it would have helped to have had another big man to play those minutes when Oscar was out...say a kid from a school in Illinois perhaps
I'll be honest. I turned the game off after Brooks took a contested jumper with a few minutes left. Of course he bricked it.
Sounds like they got it close and blew up in the final seconds. I get not having a point guard, but ill-advised shots like Brooks took and pitiful free throw shooting are head scratchers.

Wheeler is the straw that stirs the drink. They lose their pace and speed without him. Get him back and they’re fine.
I'm going to try to explain this to you morons, but I know it won't matter.
We turned the ball over in the backcourt on consecutive possessions.
No coach -- again for those who are slow -- NO COACH -- in America calls timeout in the backcourt under that scenario. They have someone bring it across halfcourt and call timeout. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You don't give a team a chance to set up a press and bleed time off the clock. But we couldn't get it across halfcourt. That's on Oscar first, and Mintz in the second case.

Didn’t get to see the game but the next time Cal draws up something to win the game in crunch time will be his first in awhile. Hell anymore I’m just happy if we get a shot off without turning it over or throwing up a complete prayer. I’d love to see him call timeouts too in crunch time but usually when he does I get reminded on why we are better off when he doesn’t.

We had our point guard the entire Notre Dame game. How did that work out. Stop making excuses.
This reads like so many dozens of other examples.
"Cal can't box out for them." UK vs. Kansas State.
"Cal can't make free throws for them." UK vs. UConn.
"Cal can't force them to make their open threes." UK vs. WVU.
"Cal can't make them keep their turnovers down." UK vs. Auburn.
At some point, it's best just to admit that that our staff didn't prepare the players to call the screener for Wheeler.
Why would we call a timeout in that situation. Have you seen our set offense the last 20 mins of that game? The best possible thing that could have happened was Oscar's pass found SOMEONE and we had the advantage in numbers.
Yeah he was great @Notre Dame. Good thing we had him for that game. Oh. Wait.

We see that they do, I saw Oscar point , maybe he did and Wheller didn't hear him. It was load in the arena
Having slept on it, yea, maybe they were trying to get it across halfcourt and then call a timeout (although I’m not sold that we even would have then). But our players consistently play like Cal coaches in crunch time. Frantic, unorganized, the opposite of calm, cool and collected. Just watch the final 20 seconds (after it was 65-60) and look at how our players had no direction and no clue what to do.
Cal NEVER uses his timeouts. He hasn’t since he’s been here. It wouldn’t have mattered what situation is was. He went calling a timeout regardless.
After the mintz layup to cut it to 1 is when a good coach would have called the timeout. To go over what the plan was under each scenario, if nothing else. If you watch, we weren’t even gonna foul after that with only 23 seconds left because THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WERE PANICKING JUST LIKE THEIR COACH WAS ON THE SIDELINES
Yep. I was yelling, you gotta FOUL! Another question, what the **** was Ware doing in the game the last couple minutes?! Seriously?!
The better question is WTF were we doing playing Oscar/Toppin/brooks together the majority of the second half. Cal loves playing late 90’s, pound it in the post basketball with huge lineups.
