Like to see us get it down to our bigs for some easy baskets.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:35 PM:
This Dia has suddenly become a 3pt shooter. He'd only hit 7 the entire season before hitting 2 so far tonight!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:35 PM:
Oscar at the line goes 1-2

Oscar is having another sub-par game. Sit him.

We are not playing good D!!!!

Another KY turnover on a 3 sec call
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-24-2023, 09:39 PM:
Now we turn it over!
Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-24-2023, 09:39 PM:
Get Livingston in for Tshiewbe. That would be a good option on both ends.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:39 PM:
Too many turnovers early
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 09:39 PM:
Oscar is not good on defense. He is switching on everything and allowing Vandy to score at least 10 points because of it. We need to fight through picks and stop being lazy.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 09:40 PM:
Livingston is a good call. They are driving on us pretty easily. Our defense is just not that good.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-24-2023, 09:40 PM:
Maybe Cal can get his team to start playing UK basketball!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:40 PM:
KY's surged ahead on the glass 16-12
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:41 PM:
KY already with 5 turnovers in the game!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 09:41 PM:
If Oscar keeps play D like this he needs to get out. Cal could try going small with Livingston.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-24-2023, 09:41 PM:
Cats lead by 3 27-24!

Easy basket by the Cats!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 09:42 PM:
Seeing too much Wheeler. I'd like to see Thiero. He was getting beat on d and the switching on to bigs.
Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-24-2023, 09:42 PM:
All Wheeler can do is drive like a half-wit into double teams. What does Cal see in him?
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-24-2023, 09:43 PM:

Reeves seems to be hot coming right off the bench. Doesn't hesitate to shoot. I like it.
Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-24-2023, 09:47 PM:
Nice run at the end of the half. One more bucket would be nice. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Nice backdoor bucket by Toppin. UK up by 9 going into the locker room.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 09:48 PM:
Now we just need a run to start the 2nd. No let up. We can definitely play better defense.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-24-2023, 09:48 PM:
We finished strong!

Posted by Bigcatdaddy (Member # 21) on 01-24-2023, 09:53 PM:
Not sure I’ve seen a player get beat on so much without a foul being called since Shaq. Oscar just gets hammered like was an anvil.

If I'm playing us I am putting Oscar in ball screens all day. If he switches they have a high chance of getting a good shot. Several times Vandy just hasn't taken advantage of it.

Yes, this is a good win, Norm. Will take it with great pleasure.
But, there is no doubt that the end of games Cal just deflates his offense. NOT A FAN.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 10:45 PM:
I think we have the Under 5 offense. Only take a shot when clock is under 5 seconds in the last 6 minutes. .

I hate it when cal deflates the ball,but this is a great win!!! GO BIG BLUE!!!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-24-2023, 10:50 PM:
It was great to watch fie the majority of it. Great passing, movement, and shooting. But then Cal plays Cal ball and we score 8 points in the last 9 minutes. He will cost us some games if he does that and we don't have a big enough lead.
But kudos to him for the lineups and the movement on offense. Wheeler played well also. Like seeing him play like 15- 20 minutes max.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-24-2023, 10:50 PM:
No doubt about it, the Cats have got a lot of improving to do if they want to end up with a tournament run.

Saturdays game with Kansas will show us just how far we have to go.
Posted by PaulCat (Member # 513) on 01-25-2023, 07:06 AM:
I think this was a very, very good win. It's not easy to go into Vandy and whip them like we did. They aren't that bad of a team. If they didn't have that #23 guy (who was 7-22 coming into this game) making unbelievable 3-pointers, we would've beat them by 25. This win has convinced me that we are back!
CMD, you are correct - the Kansas game will be a great gauge as to how good we are. I hate the fact that Kansas is on a 3-game losing street (no, I don't really hate that) because now they are a desparate team. I just hope Cal can keep the "most efficient lineup in college basketball" on the court for longer periods of time than he has been.

We definitely don't want to start the Kansas game like we have started so many games. If we do the hole may be so deep we can't climb out of it. And Oscar better start being more careful in the beginning of games or he will be riding the bench and we will be hurting in the paint. The other three bodies we have can't come close to providing the needed help when Oscar is on the bench.

Oscar gets away with his arm on the opposing team backs a lot. In the game against Vandy he was lucky that the ref's weren't calling it super close.
Posted by PaulCat (Member # 513) on 01-26-2023, 07:02 AM:
RLT, I have always thought that Oscar gets away with quite a few over-the-back calls. Obviously it's hard to tell on TV so I could be dead wrong here, but it sure looks like it to me.
