Cal doing Cal things

I knew Arkansas was toast when they got a 16 point lead. 
Pretty stiff choke job. Gotta feel for the guy a little bit.
yeah should've actually called timeout and tried to run a play but i know how he is in those late situations. but to allow them to go on like 13-2 run to end the game and make it go into overtime is dumb as hell.
Up 16 with 10 minutes left and blew the game. Same as it ever was. Have fun overpaying for that washed up blowhard, Tyson.
Not gonna let karma get me tomorrow. We have a very tough game and all my energy is going to be on that.
Wow! Call them hawgs now cal!
Knox played himself into the draft, hopefully everyone bounces and Richmond transfers.

I'm not necessarily celebrating, but that honestly perfectly sums up Cal, his coaching and his luck the last entire DECADE.
What a choke job.
I saw they were up 13 with less than 5 minutes left and thought it was over

That’s why you leave your star players in the game even when they are in a slump coach Pitino
Nah, the guy was a dead *** and the last 5 years stole millions of dollars from the university. Screw him HARD
He tightened up, so his team tightened up. He slowed them down, when he should've kept pushing. It's a script we've seen a thousand times.
Anyone else thought running Wagner to the left at the end of regulation would have worked?
He’s deft better than his brother was.
True but no matter what Cal didn't go further.
I guess since I'm already up a few minutes spent over on the Arkansas boards won't hurt.
Only games Cal got up for all year was UK and Rick. Rest of the time he just mailed it in.
Cal hadn’t beaten a better seeded team at Kentucky since 2014 so honestly I was going to be a little pissed if he beat three straight after leaving us.
Unbelievable how he finds a way to lose with ALL THAT TALENT.
Reverted to one on one street ball and panic button.
Perfect example of why he is gone.
Now the Arky fans get to watch the mass exodus and a team of freshmen next year.

Cal, Cal-ed it so much that Cal could not understand how to Cal it any worse.
I was texting with my brother at the 12 minute mark saying stall ball activate. LOL
I am so glad he is wearing and coaching that red team in fayetteville.

Maybe some other year when his entire coaching staff and more than half his 9 man rotation isn't ex-UK players and recruits
ESPN win probability had Arkansas @ 91% with 1:19 left. That’s the Cal we had the last several years.
As bad as I was rooting against them I really do feel a little bad for the guys. They played their butts off this year. But then I remember how much joy they all got walking out of Rupp and I got over it pretty quick
Damn. I didn't want Cal to make a deep run, because I didn't want Kentucky's critics to say our fans were foolish to wish him gone. But, man, that was a painful and painfully predictable collapse.
Lot of people gonna be surprised by this score. Almost went to bed on it myself.
Oh, it was over.
Hog fans just didn't know it yet.
They didn't lose tonight......THEY LEARNED!!
I am not celebrating cause I wanted another sec team to advance.
I am glad though this kind of “management” of game situation does not impact us anymore…., we had to many games like that, where we would come on the losing end and have players and fans with broken hearts…
I am glad Cal is somebody else problem. Grateful for his first 10 years at Kentucky but time to move on and focus on our team.

Probably going to be his best team for a while, maybe the entire time he's at Arkansas honestly.
He took all those players with experience that almost certainly wouldn't have come back this year if he was at UK (I still don't get how they all followed him there but wouldn't have been surprised if literally none of them came back for UK) and all the built in recruits with some pieces left for him at Arkansas.
Now Arkansas fans get to deal with a Cal offseason of complete head-scratching draft declarations and transfers.
I still have PTSD from it honestly lol

Now they get to experience their first Cal off season....man I won't miss that ****
What? Why? You do know he left here on his own accord right? Breached his contract on the way out. Left Kentucky basketball with almost no NIL money because he burned bridges with the donors. Then he took all of our recruits and some of our players with him, leaving us with 0 players. Then he had Jerry jones stand in front of a camera and microphone and pledge to double any NIL contribution to keep players from signing with Kentucky.
Yet you feel for him? Man this is just ball, screw him. I hope he and his family enjoy long, healthy, enriched lives. But screw his basketball team.
Mind you this is coming from a guy who was raked over the coals for a long time by about 80 percent of the posters here who thought I was a “cal lover”.
The best and worst of cal in one game. Hitting march hard has his team humming. Assembled a roster that was peaking kicking *** in s16 game.
Chokes a game that is idiot proof to choke. This is why he had to go. They will be happy this season in ark but the choking will wear thin quick

Yeah, that has nothing to do with Cal. Enjoy life, or whatever.
I had no animosity toward them but just marveled at how bad they were through the end of January. If Lamont Butler had played in that game on February 2 then Arkansas would have missed the tournament. They never would have felt how good they could be if they buckled down and played Defense.
