Ark vs Va

[Beatle Bum]

Like last season, it seemed UVA’s size and power in the paint was too much for Arkansas. Cal has done well again recruiting athletic talent to positions 1-3 and has skill at the 4, but it’s not skill with muscle. Arky appears to again lack a space eater or two who can bang.

 

[Cleatortoises]

whats more tiring to you....

(1) uk basketball losing
or
(2) the negativity on this board directly related to the uk basketball losing

1 of these actually matters, the other is what you seem to care more about

Define losing.
2-0
But the negativity related to losing remains.
Hmmmm

Which was puzzling when he said this considering he also said he wants 50 layups per game. Shows you just how dumb that strategy is, you want 50 layups but you don't work on free throws, knowing you're team will get fouled on layups/drives to the basket.

I always feel like a FT is something a player works on individually and constantly and is a waste of formal practice time

 

[Cleatortoises]

Since 2015 Cal has had 8 teams ranked in the top ten preseason polls.

In that time he has had TWO of those teams make it to the elite 8.

He has had the same amount miss the tournament entirely.

Since the 2015 season, with top 1-2 ranked classes every season, Cal versus top 25 ranked teams is 44-52 for 45.8%

Even worse, since the 2020 season (6 years) versus the AP Top 25 teams, Calipari is 21-34 for 38.1%.

FARR POPE!

You need to try and replicate game pressure and fatigue though.

Just about every d1 player can mindlessly stand at free throw line in practice and hit free throw after free throw.

Its like me hitting 5 ft putts on my practice mat vs on the course with $20 on the line ,lol.

You’ll never get through to the trolls

Think James Madison or ufc can beat them? Delusional. Mark pope will still lose 12 games easy!

 

[Resignmarkpope]

True but Pope isn't any better...

Pope is probably the 10th best sec coach.

 

[Resignmarkpope]

Love seeing Cal get curb stompedd

Same with pope! That zags game in Nashville was epic! The whole place was booing mark pope!

 

[Resignmarkpope]

Virginia is gonna teabag us.

Probably a 20 pts loss

 

[peterpiper09]

Surprised UNC didn’t go after him. He’s from North Carolina. Might be someone to look at along with Shertz if Oats says no.

The fascination with Nate Oats with many people on the board is jaw dropping.

Hmmmm

This is correct, we are 2 and 0 and look super impressive to no one.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Kentucky plays both

 

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

thats what happens when you play well and win games. when we get a coach that can produce we will get hyped up like this.

The talking heads know less than you.

 

[BookofMormon]

Cal’s got the best AAU TEAM in ARKANSAS.

Basically what it is these days. He has SEVEN freshman in his rotation. He's an expensive babysitter.

The wild thing with Cal, is that he hasn't sign one kid yet in this class. He's expected to get Black, but no one else unless he's tapping into the reclasses.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Some of y’all telling on yourselves as Cal fans by running to bash UK’s current coach in a thread about Arkansas losing by 20 because other people are bashing our former coach who now coaches a rival SEC school.

Pope has earned the bashing for topics relevant to Kentucky basketball, but maybe not on a thread about Arkansas losing to Virginia.
