The Kansas GAME THREAD

[BobS]

What is most concerning is we have played bad the last 5 games. The team is not learning.

Neither is Cal.

Florida will kick our butt down there. Geargia is practicing zone defense as we speak.

We'll lament on how young we are and practice our good Ole switch everything defense tomorrow,.

[Wonderstruck]

Alright, we have Trueblue for the "we are young."

I'm going to go a different route and go with, "We haven't learned to value the ball."

I like the "What are you DOING?" line.

[Katmendo]

I like the "What are you DOING?" line.

Wonderstruck has secured "What are you DOING?"

Place your vote before the coach's interview. C'mon, folks. Step right up!

Cal said it hurt us in the first half because we couldn't have Briscoe in the middle of the zone.....

That's all you need to know about his coaching/strategy methodology and thought process....

Been a UK fan my whole life after we beat unc i was excited about this yr team chances in march then we flop against uofl forgot how to play basketball & let tenn beat us now at home in rupp we couldnt buy a freethrow 11-22 smh what is it about coach cals teams & not making free throws & then we froze against the zone monk didnt show up tonite & fox was sloppy & briscoe im sorry i just dont like his game i mean it aint march yet but i dont like how we are playing cal better wake his team up & maybe its time that diallo hits the court why not we are struggling & this is UK the time for title #9 is now not next yr so cal needs to get it together asap cause right now we aint playing UK basketball!

[Ratt]

Isn't that what we do at U.K. These days, concentrate on the NBA

I don't believe this. Yes - I mentioned something about some of that but there's 100+ other comments on here about the game.

I hear you! It's become a habit now. Cal's teams are notorious for "getting it" late, but this defense hasn't really been good all year. We have the look of a contender but we have a lot of flaws.

[Lighthouse]

We have to have both Willis and Gabriel playing well for us to make a run, not one at a time. Tonight is was Willis shooting and getting a few rebounds, while Gabriel took the night off. We have to learn to move the ball quick in order to beat a zone. We have talented players, but they have to play as a team on both offense and defense.

There are certainly concerns, but the measage board people that are giving up on this team need not return when they peak in March. People were saying the exact same thing about three previous cal teams in january and those teams made huge March runs.

Can we please just see what happens?

Coach cal needs to step his gane up fast cause this is UK and its time for #9 im sick of one and done i mean none of the legends were one and done jordan,bird,magic,shaq, the list goes on it seems these so called 5 star players aint a real true fan of basketball cause if they were they would follow in the foot steps of jordan,bird,magic & keep there in college for at least 2-3 yrs & fully develop there game but no they see dollar signs in there eyes not championships i mean the nba will be there so why not stay at least 2-3 yrs in college im just not a fan of one and done yes we get the #1 or #2 rank class every year but who cares if these kids aint committed to winning a title before they go pro cal needs to rethink his strategy cause personally im tired of one and done!

Welcome! Glad to have you. Hope you post often. But when you do, give periods a chance.

Idiotic.

since cal has been at kentucky, no team has won more games, no team has been to more final fours and only two teams have won more titles. Duke and uconn with two a piece.

Cal isnt perfect but the people complaining about one and dones and his job performance when we lost to the number two team in America need to get their heads out of their rectum and realize how good we have it.

99% of the college fanbases in America would be willing to trade with us right now.

Go outside and get some fresh air. Or quit watching. Either way, im sure the team wont care.

[BobS]

Nobody is giving up. But it is frustrating to see the same mistakes over and over and over and chalked up to being young. We will always be young.

Love Cal but I think he lacks in bench coaching simply because he is unwilling to change defenses while other coaches use it to their advantage.

Cal or any coach should not be above criticism. And not everyone that is critical is giving up.

[KCKUKFan]

Like i said, cal is not perfect. I wish cal would switch it up defensivelt, but its not gonna happen so we need to just deal with it.

The few times that cal has run a zone this season, the opposing team immediately has hit a three, so...
