Where Do We Go From Here?

[BigBlueCatNation]

Honest question.

I feel like most of our fans have given up on this team. I really think Cal has given up on them. I also think they’re starting to give up.

So, what does the rest of the season look like? What do we do?

 

[Mattcg]

Nit

 

[KYCatAttack]

NIT

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Got a wonderful draft night to look forward to...

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

Nit

I don’t know yet if that will happen, but this team should not even be close to a NCAAT team

 

[bbnkat02]

Very likely the NIT and if Cal doesn't make some coaching changes in the off season he should be next.

“Cal has given up on them”? Yeah, Cal is such a victim in all this. Smh.

Whoa.

I don’t know about all that, though I do think changes will be made

 

[JasonS.]

Right in the lumberyard.

That interview at halftime told me all I needed to know about what Cal thinks about this team

Knox is the only that has any business declaring after this year. The rest have bench warming in the d league written all over them. They need to come back to school.

 

[bbnkat02]

I'm starting to run out of patience with him. Two NITs is inexcusable here.

 

[SemperFiCat]

We limp into the dance and focus on next year.

 

[Burly]

Play 6 guys and no more

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

I'm starting to run out of patience with him. Two NITs is inexcusable here.

While I agree, it’s not out of the question with the way we recruit now.

 

[HogsOfTheRoad]

My opinion is Auburn wasn’t that good, either. If the cats are NIT bound, Auburn should be, too. They didn’t dominate. I thought both teams looked equal.

 

[DoyleHargrave1]

I am good at bending a wrench......but if what I am working on isn;t getting spark or has any type of electrical problem I just sell it cheap if it is mine or tell my buddy (I don't mechanic for a living just for me and my friends) I can't fix it. I am just gonna punt on this season......seems like an electrical problem and I am not good at 12v electrical stuff.

 

[KYJamm_rivals308443]

They'll get into the NCAA Tournament, but may get bounced out quickly if they don't start making better decisions. The task of improving their basketball IQ for the majority of the players is not something that is easily fixed. They are what they are and March is around the corner.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Back to Rupp and hope to beat Alabama .
What a bad year to have a freshman team . Can get away with it most years in conference but not this one .

What game were you watching?

 

[Bluemantoo]

NIT

Got some more pipe to take from our SEC brethren before hosting an NIT game, though. My goodness, what a frustrating group! Even in the brief moments the Cats play well, they look bad, LOL!

 

[jb1010]

If we keep losing, we might not make NIT. Might be headed to CBI

 

[dave5164]

I wish fans quit talking NIT we were up on this team that could be a 2 seed in the Tourney. We were leading 57-53 when we made stupid mistakes to lead to there 13-4 run and 66-61 Auburn lead. Yes, we should have won but we had too many mistakes in last 7 minutes.

 

[KYExtemper]

No way we'd play the CBI. You have to pay to enter that and no way we'd ever do that. NIT would pick us up for eyeballs if nothing else and we'd have to go play at a mid-major so we could get humiliated like vs. Robert Morris.

 

[dave5164]

We are not an NIT Team!!!

 

[Pitinoknew]

Absolutely must beat Alabama. Hope this team gets some confidence and improve some.

 

[JLK83]

The next few should be wins

 

[HogsOfTheRoad]

What game were you watching?

The one where uk was leading by 4 with 6 to go.

Here is the difference. Auburn wins games=NCAA bid. We lose games=NIT bid at best.

You are probably a huge fan of participation trophies.

Sounds exactly like an NIT resume to me... lots of "woulda, coulda, shoulda" for most every team in the NIT each year. Bottom line is that the Cats are horrific in nearly every facet of the game. Auburn was on the ropes when they took the lead, then right on que, they shot themselves in the foot time-and-time-again.

 

[Cats_2010]

Time to sit Diallo permanently. He single handily gave auburn the momentum when we had the control of the game despite having bit a 4 point lead. Cal does what cal does, switches from what is working and goes to what isn't. So sick and tired of his pathetic in game coaching, it's nauseating. His coaching costs us more wins that he gets us and I mean that when it comes strictly to in game coaching. Starting to feel like he has really forgotten how to coach instead is relying on uber talented players to pull it through but of course we don't have any this year.

 

[Cats78]

We are not an NIT Team!!!

Why not? We’re 6-7 in the conference now and have lost 4 effing games in a row. You feeling confident about the remaining games for some reason? Stop. Acting. Like. Everything. Is. Ok.

...it isn’t.

We could hit the SEC Tournament and roll right through it. That’s exactly what happened in 2014. We lost 4 out of our last 7 games going into the conference tournament. Sec was much weaker then.

 

[westerncat]

Alabama will beat UK Saturday.
We will lose at Ark.
Missouri could beat us again.
We will win against Old Miss.
We will lose at Fla.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

I hope the cats make the ncaa as a 10 seed in the south .

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

I don’t think anyone here expects us to win a Tournament game this year. I think we just hope to make it at this point.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Well, that’s not doing right by these kids.

Diallo and SGA are clearly ready to compete with James Young and Aaron Harrison for G-League roster positions. Take the money while you can because that’s a year of lost earnings…


Right? Isn’t that the line we keep hearing from contrarians?

This will more than likely not happen
