March 20, 201313 yr Archie: "I put in the work. Jarrod and a few other guys put in the work." Poythress later identified himself as one who needed to do more.
March 20, 201313 yr Alex Poythress says he's returning, per Matt Jones. A lot of UK fans just broke something in their homes.
March 20, 201313 yr I'd challenge any coach in the country to win with the team Cal had after Noel was injured. Untalented. Uncoachable. Cal got caught off guard (I think) with Teague opting to go pro and then had to rely on a weak and no confidence pg in Harrow. And although Poythress and Goodwin were 5 stars coming out of high school, the crop of players graduated last year was a very weak group compared to most seasons. A 5 star last year would be a 4, or 3 star, in most years. Thin pickings for talent in last year's class. Not so with the class for next year. Alex should have had the rebound off the blocked WCS shot, but he had to take off down the floor without securing the ball. Then the foul and 2 free throws. Then Wiltjer screwed up the only thing he can do to help the team----shoot...and then miss a wide open 3. Sums up this whole painfully crazy season.
March 20, 201313 yr A lot of UK fans just broke something in their homes. He'll either greatly improve or sit the bench. I think it'll be the former.
March 20, 201313 yr Alex Poythress says he's returning, per Matt Jones. To Clarksville? In all seriousness that is in his best interest and hope he can build off a perplexing campaign.
March 20, 201313 yr Cal got caught off guard (I think) with Teague opting to go pro and then had to rely on a weak and no confidence pg in Harrow. Agree. I actually think that Harrow would have been a good backup to Teague. He certainly would not have felt totally responsible for the team's performance had he come off the bench.
March 20, 201313 yr I feel the need to burn my couch! Never want to want another game on it! I feel it has been contaminated.:banghead:
March 20, 201313 yr Alex Poythress says he's returning, per Matt Jones. He really doesn't have anywhere to go unless he wants to try is luck overseas. But he's going to spend a lot of time on the pine next year imo. With the group of new Cats coming in, Alex would look like he was in slow motion on the court. He's not too much quicker than Wiltjer in the speed department.
March 20, 201313 yr Whew! Glad that is over. They were a flawed team from the get go. Noel covered up a lot of mistakes. I am trying to subscribe Bill Simmons's Rules for being a True Fan. One was you get a 5-Year Grace Period after a Championship. I'm greedy and it is hard not to complain, but thankfully it is over.
March 20, 201313 yr I think Poythress is a good person but I don't see him putting forth anymore effort next year. He didn't put forth any effort on a less talented team so what's gonna make him put forth an extra effort on a loaded roster next season?

March 20, 201313 yr I want all players on this squad to succeed but man they make it hard to root for them individually.
