I don't understand this team. Why has Sarr disappeared? He is a very solid player,and has shown that. But now he has only got 7 shots in the last two games. And he is just running around setting picks. Cal has to be better than this. It's his responsibility and he has to own it. Don't blame the players. These are his guys that he brought in. This is the top recruiting class in the nation. They sure don't look like it and the coaches have to get it together. The offense has to change, and we need to change defenses up to keep teams off balance a little. This team needs the coach to help set them up for success, and run things to their strength, whatever those are?

I am puzzled too. I posted similar comments in my topic "Whats going on with this offense?"
Honestly, Sarr seems disinterested. He isn't playing with passion, nor with intensity. He doesn't post up, he doesn't fight for position, he doesn't demand the basketball. He just floats around.
I would play Ware or Toppin instead of Sarr. And we need to get Jackson some lobs. I haven't seen one designed lob play this year.

I think Cal has officially lost it. Why is Boston taking the game-tying 3-point shot? Heck, why was he even in the game? And on the third-to-last possession when we could've taken the lead it was Askew and Boston passing back and forth out top before Boston settling for another one of his bricks from just inside the 3-point line.

No fear my dear, we could have lost all of our nonconference games if it hadn't been for our sisters of the poor, Morehead. With SC cancelling our next game we will have some time off to do whatever the 3 Amigos decide we should do in practice, since Cal has turned the team over to them. Going to MS St for our next game could mean we will continue to a 7 game losing streak. We would have to go all the way back to 2007-08 when we were 18-13 under you know who to have a record worse than that. If we win out, all 18 SEC games we would have a best of 19-6, but we all know that won't happen. An d before that it was 19-11 under Tubby in 2006-07. There is no doubt about it, this team is a record setter, it's just the kind of records they are setting???

I think the best we can hope for is 13-14 wins. Ouch. Did I just say that?

PaulCat,
I agree. The last two possessions were a strange to me. First he goes to Sarr, who hasn't scored a field goal in two games. He of course misses. Then he designs a play for Mintz... oops. I mean Boston. Who has been tossing up clunkers all game. And that misses.
Whaaaat? I guess he was trying to fool the other team, eh? That Cal... so clever.
