They refuse to make the easy plays. Don’t understand what is a good shot and what is a poor shot.

My hopes had came up a little after the Florida performance, but like I said after the MSU game. Put a little on ball pressure on these guys and they fold.

They can't stay in front of the ball. Pathetic defense.

They are all just weak with the ball if they have any on ball pressure whatsoever. It’s like they have a hot potato in their hand and they just want to get rid of the ball.

Askew is not a PG. No vision and shaky shaky ball handler. He can’t get around anyone. Always tries to drive to the right. If he takes a dribble of two to the left it is to only get in position to shoot a mid range jumper. Cal should play him as an off guard who should be a spot up shooter of a one to two dribble max and shoot.

I’ve yet to see any of the high level skill that analyst say that Boston possesses. He could be effective against low major schools, but he is not an elite talent.

Why BJ even plays is beyond me. How in the world did he get evaluated as a 5 star? He is atrocious on offense and not much better on defense. This team is just bad. Florida must have had a terrible night when we played them because we actually looked like a basketball team for one game. I don’t see but about 7 possible wins left this year. Texas may beat us by 30. We’ll be under .500 for sure. No tournament this year.

Alabama's offensive strategy is light-years ahead of UK's. Cal is trying to play old-school basketball in a new-school world.

Might be time for a younger coach like Archie Miller, Dayton, Shaka Smart VCU, Archie Miller Dayton, or even Michael White, Louisiana Tech.

Shaka Smart is at Texas, Eric Konkel is at Louisiana Tech and Anthony Grant is at Dayton.
Archie Miller is at Indiana and Michael White is at Florida.
