Well that is what I get for trying to brag on the Cats they don't score at all in that 4 minute span. They have actually been outscored  11-0 currently.

I hate when he uses that big lineup, it simply doesn’t work when he has three bigs in. Hopkins is going to be a good one, but our offense is literally non existent when he is in at the 3. Technically may be a good defensive lineup, but it doesn’t matter cause the offense is so bad when he uses that lineup teams end up scoring and coming back.

Now the Cats have went on a 12-0 in less than 4 minutes.

I really don't understand why Calipari had the awful line up he did that allowed a 9-0 run for Vanderbilt.  I am at a loss for words.  Was he just trying to get the bench guys "meaningful minutes" in the first half?   Really perplexed.

Impressed with how Ty Ty and Mintz have really stepped up in Wheelers absence.  Seems like Washington is improving each game.

Once Wheeler is healthy, Cal really needs to consider going with a 4 guard lineup during different stretches of the game. With Wheeler being hurt, we are now seeing the Mintz we saw last year. Him getting to play consistent minutes like he did last year has allowed him to get into a rhythm. So need to find away to make sure he is also getting plenty of minutes even when Wheeler is back, and using a four guard lineup at different points in the game would help with that.

Agreed.  The extra shooter has really helped with spacing and guys finding guys open for good looks. Oscar has faired well as a result also.

Cats by double digits. 

Feeling pretty good about this prediction right now.

Of course Vandy goes on a 9-0 run after I say that and Tshiebwe goes to the bench.

The Cats up 78-59 with under 4 minutes remaining.
