No rim protection, a PG who can’t shoot, TyTy hasn’t progressed over the last 3 months, Brooks is downright unplayable at times and our best shooter doesn’t shoot the ball for long periods of time.

I guess the good news is there’s no great teams this year but it’s hard to imagine this team winning 6 straight unless things change in a hurry.
TYTY just had 25? 10 blocks, did you even watch the game.

It’s the postseason. Other teams want to win too. Look around the country. Auburn, Baylor and Wisconsin have all lost in the quarterfinal round. Survive and advance this time of year.

Vandy plays a style that keeps them in most games. The quarterfinal game is usually where we look the worst. I expect a war tomorrow and hopefully Sunday.
Exactly. It’s like people forgot the last game against Vanderbilt in Rupp. This was not going to be an easy game. It’s going to be a constant battle from here on out. Buckle up folks. It’s Tournament time. Survive and advance.

My main problem is DUMB turnovers!!!

We make WAAAAAAYYYY too many STUPID mistakes. It's not just turnovers either. It's risky passes, leaving hot players WIDE OPEN, standing around, not being ready to shoot, forcing shots, late on rotations.

Vandy shot the ball well because our defense was BAD.
This is a legit criticism.

Only issue is those 5 minute scoring droughts we have each half. That will bite them in the Elite Eight.

Just can’t wrap my brain around why they don’t get Grady more open looks??!! Wheeler taking 13 shots and Grady only 5 is not what you want offensively. Grady should get at least 10-12 shots/game.
Because Grady refuses to shoot it unless he’s wide *** open . There have been plenty of times where he had enough time to put up a shot but passed on it because the defender was closing in on him

One issue that isn't fixed.

Kellen Grady needs to make outside shots for the Cats to win #9.
Well, the Cats half-court offense needs to get him some open looks. Other teams are covering him and not leaving him. Hence, he’s driving more, but needs to hit the pull-up J.

We absolutely have been playing less that stellar since the Kansas game. Not playing championship ball right now. Cal's plow horse stall ball isn't helping either.

Even though those are all legit concerns, the biggest issue IMO is Grady has absolutely lost his shot. He was averaging 3 3’s made per game before the last 6 games. No way we can win a title with Grady’s lack of shooting.
I just want KG getting shots instead of Brooks and SW launching away . But tonight .. this night , KG's defense was horrific . Just didnt aggressively D up . His D was Grandad D . But the rest of the guys picked it up .. Toppin was GREAT .

Wheeler can't shoot. Terrific passer and distributor but he can't shoot a lick. He needs to stick to what he does best.

Wheeler taking 14 shots doesn’t help either

Vanderbilt has improved as the season has continued. Good win in my opinion. Good to see Washington have a good game. If Kentucky can shoot the ball well and take care of the ball better they should beat TN tomorrow.

Yeah, I just don’t understand why he’s not shooting more, he def passes up a lot of shots, def needed 5 of Wheeler’s shots. Season is almost over don’t see it changing now.

We’ll find out tomorrow I guess who this team is. I continue to have flashbacks to that 19 squad with this team. That team was playing at a high level in January before injuries slowed them down and they just never really got the mojo back and lost to Auburn in the EE. On the surface it wasn’t terrible but the product on the court never did find it self from the what we saw in January.

so far this team seems to be on a very similar trajectory.

That team choked in the SEC semis against tn. Hope we don't see a repeat tomorrow.

The last ten minutes our defense was excellent

This could be the worst post of the year.

Not on Jordan Wright. TyTy just watched him catch the ball on the side out and he drained a 3 right in front of him after being the HOTTEST player for Vandy tonight.

Can't do that tomorrow or in the Big Dance.

That last 3 was almost at half court. He just made a good shot. Sometimes that happens.

Our biggest problem will be an aggressive driving team that will take advantage of our 100% switch on ball screens

Also a concern is the basketball IQ of some of our players. Continuing to leave a guy open who is killing us is baffling

I’ve mentioned this in a few threads but I think it bears repeating. We have played these teams 2 and 3 times. They know our plays as well as we do. They know where Grady goes, what he does, how we screen for him. I think we will see a lot of difference once we get out of conference. Scouting someone for 2 days isn’t like playing someone for a third time in 2 months.

Rim protection isn’t something I’d talk about on this particular night. 10 blocks is pretty good.
and the fact he shat on a guy who scored 25

If only we were as good as Auburn

Jordan Wright went Nuclear, he took Disu spot times 2. Get that first tournament win under your belt is great. Pointing fingers and crying is a way of some people in the world these days. I'm all in. Great Game.
Got Tennessee tomorrow, oh hell yes, let's roll.

Go Cats

OP, we just beat a team coming off a win over Alabama, a team that toyed with Gonzaga, and is coached by Nate Oats, who all the Cal haters want to replace Calipari. SEC is tough.
