It's a win. So great. But gawd it is so hard to watch. I watched Vandy playing uptempo pressure defense on UT and they blistered them. Now, I'm no Vandy or UT fan, but that game was interesting enough to watch.

I think getting beat almost every SEC road game last year got Cal conservative. We won...thats the main thing. We weren't conservative in the first half. It's when we get in front of Cal for the second half that he takes over makes them run that chickenshit offense. |

I think getting beat almost every SEC road game last year got Cal conservative. We won...thats the main thing. No, and no. Getting beat on the road last year doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. We did it before last year. He did it in 2010 when we were 6-2 on the road in the leage. He's doing it now when we are 3-0 in the league. And he does it at home. So I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Unless you are just trying to argue with JD on purpose, because you two can't go 3 damn minutes without yelling at each other. Second, saying "we won...that's the main thing " -- Beating Georgia in the regular season is not the main thing. The main thing is improving and looking like we are progressing toward a unit that will win the national championship. Beating Georgia by 13 points is something this team should do in the morning between breakfast and their morning workout. |

Beating Georgia by 13 points is something this team should do in the morning between breakfast and their morning workout. Right. Just winning against a bottom feeder is not the goal. We should be rounding into form now for a stretch run. maybe Cal has a plan and we just are not privvy to it? It's hard to question his track record, but this shit looks terrible. The first half was the best we have played against a zone. It looked like we had actually prepared for it. I sure would like to know what's going on. Lamb seems to have lost confidence. Teague is looking better all the time, though. |

Instead of the players feeling the pressure, I think Cal is feeling the pressure ...............

I also thought that the first half was the best we had looked against the zone. It did look like we came out with the right mindset for it, like we had prepared for it and felt confident about seeing it. Even still, it was far from perfect, but it was the best yet, and that improvement is what I really want to see.
Calipari is coming up on the radio in just a minute. I'm curious to see what he says about it. He will get asked about the 19 point 2nd half, I'm sure, because Pratt asked Miller about it already.

So far Cal says:
"I thought we played good defense."
"Darius Miller was good because he was aggressive. I couldn't get Terrence and Doron to play that way. Doron could have scored 25 in that game."
Pretty happy with Teague. Said, "he made 3 or 4 errors, like the one layup and throwing it up the middle one time but when you play as many minutes as he does, that's pretty good."

Leach asks him about the lack of scoring in the 2nd half and Cal says, "Well, we didn't want to score. We miss a 1 footer that should have been a dunk, then you miss 2 free throws, and yeah, now you're reeling. Now, if they're guarding you...that's different. But..."

Final segment:
Cal says, "We are still not talking enough... Not making switches we should make... Hey, enjoy winning on the road, but I am not backing off of you... We need to get better... I know how you're going to have to play to win in March, and we're not playing the way we're gonna need to win then... Toughness is getting better, we're not accepting some of the stuff.... Now we go on the road again, I guess to another sold out arena."

Not that one reboound is good enough, but I saw him get one. It was late in the game over by the corner. He actually had to put some effort out to get it, thats why I remember. I thought to myself "nice board Miller"! |

Yeah, don't get me wrong, when you see a Darius Miller who is attacking the rim and looking for his shot outside, you learn not to complain. But goodness, besides the scoring he had 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 blocks, 0 steals, and 3 turnovers. That doesn't even hardly seem possible. |
