Georgia was giving up 90 points per game during SEC play. Only Montana has managed to score less than UK this year.

UK may not win another game this basketball season.

Cal needs to go to some coaching clinics this summer to learn some offensive sets to run. Maybe even some drills to work on moving without the ball, passing drills, you know complicated stuff like that. Oh,and how the heck to actually set a screen. That would help our offense. I'm so sick of seeing guys run up and then move as the defender gets near them. Sometimes it's for a pointless roll that does nothing. How does a coach have a team that doesn't know how to properly set screens? No one is open because the offense sucks, and we don't set screens.

It's too late for this year but my thought would be to start back with the fundamentals to get ready for next year. We'll probably lose at least 3 to transfer next year. Fletcher for one will be gone and most likely 2 more.

No PG to drive and dish. I don’t think this team wins 10 games this year.

"Offense" doesn't seem to apply to UK sports. Our football team struggled to put up points, and our basketball team can't seem to shoot.

I think that this team is about over the edge psychologically, and will just collapse. Cal seems to be there too. I regret if our board has had any part in this, but the facts are what they are.

Regroup, Cal. Teach fundamentals. Experiment with *gasp* a new offense. You may as well build for next year, because this one is going nowhere.

At the rate we are going we'll be lucky to win double digit games this year!

Cal made the bed he now has to lie in. His approach to college coaching is the reason he's taking a beating from the fans and the media. I feel not one bit sorry for him. If anything, I hope he learns a lesson from this season. But i doubt it...

In case he doesn't realize it athleticism doesn't win you a ball game. Putting the ball thru the hoop is how you win at this game. You can use those other attributes to help you score but it's the actually scoring that wins games. He told us when the season started that he didn't have any shooters on this team and we didn't worry about it. Now we understand what he was talking about.

Another point I want to make is I think they were keeping the ball away from Allen maybe the last two games. They always gave it to him when he was covered. They were always too busy looking for a shot.

Florida scores 92 against UGA today. I still can’t believe that UK’s offense is so bad that they can only manage 62 points against a team that plays almost zero defense.

Yeah but our shooting is still not what it needs to be. But it was hard to get to 80. We should have reached at least 90 against that team, plus a few others.
