That's how I feel right now. We're going nowhere this year. When Cal's harshness on Willis makes the sleeping giant wake up he proved he can play. He got a double double and played a very good game. The biggest problem today was Murray's second half like he had several games ago. Every time he touched the ball something went wrong. He was just too fast and wild trying to do too much. Skal may get drafted but he will end up in the D league. I have no hope for him making an NBA roster his first year out. He's like a deer in the headlights. We are going to find it hard to win the SEC or the SEC tourney. But that's alright. we've had a few good years recently and next year could be a great year.

If Murray has the shot, he takes it. If not, he forces it. Overall, I'm not a fan.
I'm not willing to give Cal's public criticism the credit for Willis's play today.
If that's all it takes he needs to go on TV and talk about how weak Skal is, how Briscoe can''t throw it in the ocean, how Poy as a senior is a terrible leader ,Murray is a ball hog etc.
I was a great coach. My 5th grade players and their parents were just baby's. [ 01-16-2016, 07:24 PM: Message edited by: handycat ]

Murray had a very bad second half.

Murray has to learn to let the game come to him. He forces things to happen instead of taking his time and find the openings. Murray is young and still has a lot to learn.

I agree Murray does force a lot of shots, we also have no one who can consistently hit the mid range jumper like Goose Givins!

If we expect to play in the tournament we have to take the time to watch all the things we need to improve on. Watching films is a heck of a good teacher especially if you stop the film and show it in slow motion. It's all their to see and a great motivator.

We reviewed films back when I played, a very long time ago and even then some of the things you saw you couldn't believe what you did.

It's a heck of a motivator when your teammates see what you did wrong.

We are now more than half the way through the season, with 13 regular season games left to play. I don't see this team making much improvement during the next month and fear we are going to have many losses with this group. The talent is just not there this year. I fear a second loss at Arkansas this week. From what I have seen, Texas A&M are the cream of the crop in the SEC this year, we will struggle to get one of the 4 seeds in the SEC tournament this year.

It's a good goal to set and hope Cal and the team can make it to the NCAA tournament. They have some work to do but it isn't impossible.

Murray will fit right in at the next level. He shoots every chance he gets and just won't play defense.

AMEN CFIY, Murray has yet to see a shot he don't like or is not afraid to take. He knows he will stay on the floor regardless, he is that high profile freshman guard who is going to play regardless of his performance.

Ray, I agree it's looking more and more obvious that Murray is playing more and more for Murray than the team.

m hamilton, I get discouraged but like you, I don't ever give up until the final horn sounds and we have lost the game. Then I get angry, especially after losing a 12 point lead to a very weak team like Auburn yesterday, that was totally unexcusable.

Cal is a motivator and even though this is a young team they will get better and would bet will get better as the season goes on.

I think it would do the team and Murray some good if he was rested in for a few minutes in each half.
