Wow, a coach who knows how to actually coach. Going to be fun again!!!

 

[tallkat70]

Just total bliss. The smile is plastered on my face

Rupp nust be mic’ed differently this year. I haven’t heard our coach screaming like a lunatic.

 

[Wrong]

At the Blue/White game last week me and Geese Feeder were in the end zone and Cam Meals dropped a bottle of water and didn’t clean it up. About 5 minutes later he half assed tried to wipe it up. Then about 10 minutes after that a janitor mopped it up. Geese heckled him the entire time.

I'll say this, we hit our shots early and the diaper boys on Duke might just fold.

Almonor and Williams splashing is just ***chef's kiss***

What the hell going on with Mills’ hands?!

 

[Teriecat]

I am laughing and just spontaneously applauding. So much fun.

Love the team

Love the floor

#floor

 

[TCPUKChamps]

These dudes just all seem like no-ego hoopers.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Are they servant leaders and/or dawgs tho

These dudes just all seem like no-ego hoopers.

Everything I said about hating Stoops' culture he built I love about Pope's. These dudes work hard, get buckets and get back.

No arrow slinging, no 3 googles (though I loved those) and no wiping of noses.

Just hard nose basketball.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Think they're gonna try to succeed and proceed.

Animals, relentless animals.

In other news... CBS is the John Calipari of sport contract decisions...

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

Nice to see use take (and make) multiple deeeeeep threes. We have at least 4 guys who have the greenlight to fire it up from anywhere in the frontcourt they find themselves open. Makes spacing so much better.

That set with Williams and Chandler surrounded by shooters was just pure basketball bliss. This has 2003 vibes, ladies and gents.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

I feel like this team could beat Oakland (MI) on a neutral floor

 

[cricket3]

The half time score of our first exhibition game last year was 35-34.

 

[Vismund]

Lamont Paris is one hell of a solid dude for being so gracious about the Trent Noah situation.

That's a situation we're really gonna benefit from and he would have given us fits for years if Cal were still here.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

A lot of shooters and “basketball players” out there.

 

[UKwizard]

Kentucky born Noah hits his 8th 3 for the Gamecocks against the team and man who wouldn't recruit him as Cal calls another timeout.

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

No taking the air out of the ball at the 4 minute mark.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Good lord

 

[Vismund]

CRICKET POST THE SHOT CHART

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Noah would have played 4 years at so Carolina, would have had 19 career double digit games… with 8 of them against us.

 

[CSC81]

Anybody else get irrationally mad when the other team took a long 2?

Because I sure as **** did.

 

[UK_ENGR]

50%

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

 

[legalbeagle123]

Not near enough back-to-the-basket from Carr and Garrison.

-- Cal

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

32 assists!

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

We won by 70+ lol

[wildcatadam6]

At that timeout with 2:00 and change remaining, you saw some laughs, smiles, and general merriment. Not stressed at all. Fun watching a coach the players like and those kinds of things. I truly don’t care what our record is this year. Hope for the moon, of course, but I just feel better about everything knowing our program is in better hands. Refreshing.

 

[TheShowKiller]

Well, that was everything I hoped it would be…going to be a fun season!

 

[fatguy87]

Not near enough back-to-the-basket from Carr and Garrison.

-- Cal

Ha! It’s a relief that establishing back to the basket scoring won’t be a major pillar of the offense. Cal really couldn’t help himself.

Because I sure as **** dd

PTSD moment just watching another team do it. My wife and I talked about it as soon as it happened.

 

[CSC81]

We have to be talking about the same moment. That dude stepped in, and I legitimately got pissed. And had no reason to whatsoever (on either count, him stepping in or me getting mad ).

 

[btodd0224 n/a?]

Just the overall flow of the offense, free wheeling, constant movement and great passing is a breath of fresh air!!

Yes, having experienced players, shooters everywhere and a team that can play multiple defenses is great, too!! But we haven’t witnessed that type of offense in years. Goodbye, being able to guard us with trees

You can just tell this team is going to show up every night and by the end of the year we are going to be really good. Too many shooters, experience and good defensive players being led by an innovative and motivated coach.

Gonna be nice to enjoy a winter watching my Cats. Gonna be even better to feel a little giddy up in my step come March.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Just watching a possession, with only two dribbles, just past the halfcourt line, and then 7 passes, working the ball in/out/around, for an open corner three (without the ball touching the court again) gave me goosebumps.

I feel like a 275 pound, irritatingly stubborn WOP has been lifted off of my chest.
