Worse than Cal

And his back up goes down.
Nah…if this was still Cal, we would have lost by 20 because he would have made 0 adjustments and the team would have quit
People, stop making threads at halftime. I was pissed too, but just wait until it's over. Helluva comeback.
If this was Cal we would still be trying to figure out what his rant meant tonight.
At least 10 of those “likes” are laugh reacts and I’m guessing most of those are laughing at this post, not at CMP and the Cats
This thread didn’t age well lol , when was the last time Cal pulled off a masterclass comeback like this in the second half against a top 10 opponent? I’ll wait while you find the answer.
Lol.
If this was Cal we wouldn't have thrown a zone that sometimes switched back to man on them. We would've stayed in man, given up 80 points in the paint and lost by 25.

It's a 40 minute game brother. This one isn't going to age well.
I can’t believe I log on today and see someone posted this during the game?
Wow. What a quitter.
Wow. What a quitter.
Understand the frustrations, etc about the first half
don’t understand comments/posts like the OP
Worse than Calipari, reallly?

We’re glad you turned it off. I’m very sure you can still get a season ticket and Fayetteville.
well, did he crush the refs, at least ?
some people on this board really need to learn two things :
1 - don't post stupid threads during games
2 - don't post stupid threads during games
life can be easier and much more enjoyable that way.
just sayin'
This thread is obviously full of crow. Lol
But I do think it's worth asking, why are we looking so poor to start games? Pope's adjustments have been huge against Duke and Gonzaga. But if we want to win 6 in a row come March, we have to fix these poor starts.
It sort of makes me wonder if Pope is just squeezing every last ounce out of this team. Sort of seems like his coaching job last year, turning BYU into a 6-seed when they had no business being one. Heck of an impressive coaching job.

Perry was only in to give Kriisa a breather
Yeah those damn adjustments on D 2nd half were hard to watch for Zag coaching staff.
And on O working the spread and killing the Zags in the lane.
Mods should pin this thread.
Look at all the Debbie Doubters.
The despicable Trolls.
Look at all the Pope slander.
Players getting slandered.
GO CHEER ON ANOTHER TEAM.
GAMES ARE 40 OR 40 PLUS MINUTES NOT 20

Wrong! Lots worse than Cal, but keep on hating. Why not just move on?
Change your name Brad.
Prioritize watching the games and cheering on the Cats over posting hot takes and battling to be the first quitter on the web.
How does that taste this morning, HUH? How can you be disappointed? We WON, or did you slam the TV against the wall and go to bed? you missed the 2nd 1/2..Dude. it was great for our part. Have a happy day.

The first half was very much unwatchable. Then we made adjustments, and came out with some fire in our belly. Why were we so flat and just plain low energy in the first half? Same can really be said about the Clemson game. Hopefully we have turned a corner and grown as a team.
I can understand the premise. However, he had to go to a zone/morphing zone to slow down their PG. had Butler been available, that first half would’ve looked totally different.
I confess. I was wondering if the Cats have what it takes in the first half. But all the while I was wondering how Pope would adjust during half time. He didn't disappoint. What other Coach has had a comeback of this magnitude without a true point guard on the floor? Amazing coaching job.
I see it as the opposing coach has devised a game plan to stop UK. We sometimes think that "hey I wonder why we come out flat...or not executing?" I think that has to do with the opposing coach and team. Not always, of course, we can come out flat...but maybe our opponent has something to do with it.
I'm very thankful that our coach can and will attempt to counteract our opponent, and our team then listen and executes.
These are new and different times.
Which way "we" headed now?
To be fair, with the rules for transferring the way they are, lots of teams who lose their coach look pretty bare after the departure. Pope left his school without much of a succession plan. In fact, he left with less time than Cal. Not sure how many they returned, but again, I think this is much more common across the board.
