Plays the way UK and Cal should have been playing the last 8 years. Push the ball, make quick decisions, space the floor, and shoot 30 threes a game.

Hopefully Cal finally sees the light or he will quickly become a dinosaur in the coaching ranks.

He would then be able to go play tidly winks with Tubby.

Maybe so Trey, but quite frankly I dislike the 3 point goal. Almost as much as doing away with the jump ball. Running down the court, over the midcourt line and jacking up threes is not what I enjoy.....can watch the NBA to see that. Guess the college game has just passed me by.

I think Alabama has the perfect mix of 3's and drives. If they have an open three, they take it (frankly because they can make them). Pitino's teams were the same way, especially early in his UK career. They way Alabama shoots 3's causes the defense to react and then they can drive to the basket for a dunk.

In our two games against them this year, Bama was 20-44 from 3-land and we were 10-38. That's why they beat us by a combined 31 points.
