However, they can’t keep the opponent under 95.
-------------------- Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

After the Kansas game I had some hope for this team but it has all but faded with the lack of defense.
With this defense they will be lucky to win a first round game.
UK has basically became irrelevant on the National Stage and even in the SEC, as Tennessee, Auburn, and Alabama all have better programs then Kentucky now year in and year out. I was hoping this team was going to change that, but they are not. [ 02-03-2024, 11:21 PM: Message edited by: Trey Ball ]

Cal needs to go. He is at best a average in game coach, if that. The frustration is he is a good recruiter, but he has shown he can't win it even with the best players. There are 7 UK players in the all-star game, and yet somehow UK has only 1 championship in the Cal era. I know it's hard to win it all, but there is no way we should not have at least 2, and probably 3. I bet if the players coached themselves in some of the games they lost that they would have won. UCONN has 3 during Cals time and they certainly haven't had more talent. I have never thought he was a good in game coach, ever. If we don't at least get to a sweet 16 he needs to go. This team has everything it needs to be able to get to an elite 8, final four, if not win it all. And I think they have the potential to certainly be an average defensive team, the coach has to figure out how to get that out of them. It's his job, and he gets paid a heck of alot to do it.

For better or worse, Cal is our coach. The "lifetime" contract says HE decides when he leave.
I am greatly disappointed in this year's team too. I thought "WOW! This team can score!!! When our defense rounds into shape, we are going to be awesome!"
Still waiting on that defense. Oh, and rebounding. Both staples of Cal's earlier teams we dissed so much... now missing.
