January 12, 201214 yr Jim, you have no clue what you're talking about. He doesn't want out of any rivalry. He wants to have it set up so they don't play home games against UofL, UNC, & the BEast challenge in the same season. He wants to have it so it's a mix between home/road.
January 12, 201214 yr Because they got hammered on the boards last night till late in the game. One game. Look at their rebounding margin this year....Something close to +10 a game.
January 12, 201214 yr One game. Look at their rebounding margin this year....Something close to +10 a game. I hear you. You asked why all the focus/concern - I answered why. At one point last night rebounding was 31-16 in favor of Aunburn. UK closed the gap from there to the end of the game and the final numbers were 35-29 in favor of Auburn. You make a good point about the overall stats. Now that we are in SEC play, it will be interesting to see how those seasonal stats hold up.
January 12, 201214 yr Before anybody panics, this is the way it is on the road in Conference play. I am not paniced at all. I am just worried about this team developing that team chemistry and having some kind of flow to the offense. This team has the talent but it won't be enough to win it all if they don't develop it. That is the only thing that worries me about this team. Edited January 12, 201214 yr by futurecoach

He wants to have it set up so they don't play home games against UofL, UNC, & the BEast challenge in the same season. He wants to have it so it's a mix between home/road. That may be the public line he's espousing, but that's not the reality of the situation. He's scared to put his team at risk early, because there's a greater chance of a loss in a road game where deferential officials and a full house of rabid fans gives his team the decided advantage. It's no different than Rick's incessant whining about Freedom Hall's unavailability during December (before the move to the Chicken Bucket), forcing him to have to be on the road too much early and take losses.
January 12, 201214 yr I'm going off on a tangent here but, watching the game last night, I concluded that Darius Miller can make it in the NBA. I think he has the body, basketball skills and temperament to be a role player and a good teammate.

I love how you try to act like you have some sort of inside knowledge of Cal's thought process. It's quite entertaining. :lol:
January 12, 201214 yr One game. Look at their rebounding margin this year....Something close to +10 a game. They have been outrebounded in both league games so far and gave up 16 offensive rebounds to both Auburn and South Carolina.
January 12, 201214 yr Coach Cal tweet: UKCoachCalipari John Calipari I think the game was a sellout too. I'll have to check with @jerrytipton to see if I'm wrong about that though. Cal loves taking shots a people.
January 12, 201214 yr I love how you try to act like you have some sort of inside knowledge of Cal's thought process. It's quite entertaining. :lol: No more so that you diehards believing every single word that comes out of the coach's mouth, even though it's a well-established fact that the overwhelming majority of college coaches are shady scumbags who speak out of both sides of their mouth. I'm just able to read between the lines and see the world for what it is, rather than some pie-in-the-sky idealism.
January 12, 201214 yr I'm going off on a tangent here but, watching the game last night, I concluded that Darius Miller can make it in the NBA. I think he has the body, basketball skills and temperament to be a role player and a good teammate. I'm with you and have said it from the start of the season. He will be a second round pick.

So in your mind, it makes sense to have 3 of your hardest OOC games be on the same home/away rotation? According to you, who DOES do a good job scheduling away games? Here are the OOC away games from the current top 25: Cuse @ NCST UK @ IU UNC @ UNC Asheville, UK Baylor @ NW, BYU tOSU @ KU, South Carolina MSU @ East Mich, Gonzaga IU @ Evansville, NCST Duke @ tOSU, Temple Mizz @ ODU KU @ USC Gtown @ Chaminade, Bama UNLV @ UCSB, Wichita, Wisconsin UM @ UVA, Oakland UofL @ Butler, UK Murray @ Morgan St, UAB, Alaska-Anchorage, WKU, Memphis UVA @ Oregan, Seattle, LSU UConn @ ..... KState @ VT UF @ tOSU, Cuse, Rutgers Miss St @ Detroit Gonzaga @ Illinois, XU SDSU @ Baylor, Zona, UCSB, USD Creighton @ UAB, SDSU, St Joes, Tulsa, Seton Hall @ Dayton, Longwood Marq @ Wisconsin, LSU
January 12, 201214 yr I think Teague just missed another layup. There's something about Teague that just seems to keep this team from clicking imo. There's no flow in their offense and a lot of it starts with him.
January 12, 201214 yr I think Teague just missed another layup. There's something about Teague that just seems to keep this team from clicking imo. There's no flow in their offense and a lot of it starts with him. I feel like a lot of times he probably feels like he hasn't done enough or made a big play and then he forces something. Happened a few times last night.

I think he has the body, basketball skills and temperament to be a role player and a good teammate. I think Darius will play in the NBA. He's versatile, can hit the outside shot, and knows his role. He is the very poor man's Shane Battier.
