This team is going to have to improve dramatically in many areas if it's going to make serious noise in March.

John Calipari didn't create the University of Kentucky Dick.

This is more nonsense that I can't stand. We've won championships under five different head coaches! It's the program, the history, the tradition, the fanbase. It's not just one coach.

Agreed. He has definitely given us one of the 3 best eras in UK history though. Rupp's run, Pitino's and Cal's have been great. UK was not even a championship contender but 2/10 of Tubby's years. They have been 5/6 with Cal, but idk about this bunch. After the Duke game? Yes. Since then? Hell to the not sure right now.

My god, I fully support this team and know they can make a run. But they are rough right now.

Please hit a shot. Take a dribble in and then pop if you aren't comfortable out by the 3

Keep devaluing the three point shot Cal. Let's just all pretend a shaper shooter on the bench isn't necessary.

Just more lanky non skilled athletes please. Just keep it up.

Anyone remember how Patch Adams described what is was like watching Average Joes try and play dodgeball??

That's exactly what watching this UK team is like.

Guess we didn't see the scouting report on Justice, three point specialist and we don't guard him the last time down, miserable shooting again but as usual the other team shoot fairly well.

Skal may be the worst recruit Cal has brought to UK

Such a waste of (apparent) talent so far.

That's a ridiculous take, but he has been very disappointing so far. His head is just not in games. We've seen his talent in a few games though, so he's nowhere near his worst recruit.

Not really. 38% overall and 25% from 3 or ASU. To be fair we have outdone them there with 31% overall and NINE EFFIN PERCENT FROM THREE!

Skal just doesn't seem to be interested in playing. No hustle or emotion whatsoever.

ASU biggest win was against T&AM, (#18). TAM is some medias SEC champ when all the balls have been shot in the SEC.
Like I said before the game this is the best team we play before SEC play not UL. With Poy I wouldn't be worried but without him I am . I suspect we pull it together and walk outta here with a 6 pt win against a tourney team which i will take . Also wouldn't be surprised if we hit a good amount of 3's in the 2nd half .

How poorly are we playing right now? We made a total of 9 field goals in the entire first half. Against freaking Arizona St.! At home!!!

They're just weak.. I remember Jamal talking about how he wanted to be the #1 pick in the draft and right now that's gotta be the funniest **** I've heard in a long time.. This class is starting to look like they just want to make it through the season without getting hurt so they don't hurt their draft stock.. Hope they aren't banking on the draft, because it's going to be a hard pill to swallow..

I wouldn't even guard this team past the FT line. I'd pack it in and put my PG on LePuss. Maybe the worst shooting team I've ever seen.
