It’s not just Reed. We don’t have a single defender that can keep the ball in front of them.Reed also can’t stay in front of anyone. They iso’d us to death and we had no answers.
We haven't had "ANSWERS" since before most of GYERO's second generation was born.Reed also can’t stay in front of anyone. They iso’d us to death and we had no answers.
Thiero is the only halfway decent defender we have and he's not exactly young Rodman or anything.It’s not just Reed. We don’t have a single defender that can keep the ball in front of them.
Rack this, at least a seed line, maybe 2Losses like this are pretty much Selection Sunday STFU'ers, when it comes to seeding.
Today's my birthday. My kids and wife are downstairs putting the finishing touches on a birthday cake. I hate Cal so much.Nobody can ruin a weekend quite like our stupid, useless, dumbphuck basketball coach.
At least the seats are still warm.Back on the ***** Barge.
He acted Brain-damagedDilly shaving points tonight or nah
Players were cold
Couldn’t guard ****
Played with zero toughness. Got outtoughed for rebounds all game
Players were sniffing their own farts since the Miami game.
You know what is odd though. This seems to happen to UK with Swiss fvcking watch regularity now.Picked a great day to passively skip the game. Had it on but also had UGA/BAMA on with sound while cooking dinner and kinda didn’t see much except the last 7 minutes.
Probably just skip the replay even though we don’t play for a whole week.
I’ve never seen a coach not covet W’s the way Cal does. That said, plenty of blame on the players too from what I saw down the stretch on defense and a few WTF missed shots and FT’s.
But as was mentioned above, you have to give UNCW credit because they hit shots and made just enough plays to end it.
Yuck
In this exact situation myself. Happy birthday.Today's my birthday. My kids and wife are downstairs putting the finishing touches on a birthday cake. I hate Cal so much.
An entire month of unlimited time for him to destroy any hope of fun, team chemistry, and regularly scoring 70 GD points. That is child's play for Cal Just look what he managed to do in a GD week...Still got Camp Cal coming up also, which inevitably results in huge leaps backwards.
That' s a verbose way of saying that our coach is a geriatric and stubborn fvcking idiot, that needs to be fired.In this exact situation myself. Happy birthday.
Angry, likely-irrational takes:
- The script to beat us has not changed. Spread us out, attack us one-on-one, invite us to settle for midrange, get the refs rooting for the upset, and hope for an off-shooting night. We've seen it play out time and time again against inferior competition the last few seasons. Game played out exactly like St. Peter's. We will not make an adjustment and will absolutely not play zone no matter how many times you iso our out-of-position wings for layups. Would've loved to have thought this team was past that.
- Missing Wagner obviously hurt us, but that's not why we lost the game. You've got to find ways to get decent shots. And you cannot take more midrange than 3s. I mean. Come on. I get that horse is deader than dead, but come on.
- That said, we had about 3.5 guys who were remotely playable today, depending on how you feel about Thiero. Reeves and Dillingham were about equally bad. They relentlessly bumhunted Edwards in the 2nd half. At least he played hard, I guess.
- Reeves not blocking that guy out when we were up 6, giving up the offensive rebound, and then fouling him for an and-1 about broke me.
- Speaking of Reeves, I know this can't be true, but feels like he's about 0/15 on wide open 3s in the clutch for us. I had zero confidence when he let that one go.
- Give them credit. They made many 10/10 degree-of-difficulty shots down the stretch. And that is a very well-coached team.
- Ultimately, my prevailing thought is that it's just too hard to trust Cal, no matter how great we look during the regular season. In one game the offense reverted to what it's been the last 6 years. Stagnant, force it into the post. He just can’t help himself. It'll look better again, probably. But until I see otherwise, I just can't believe he won't revert when it matters most. Again, I wish I could tell you different.
