Considering one of our star guys (adou thiero). Was limited due to illness, and we are working aidoo back to full strength I think this was a great game. Plus learning how to finish games like this bodes well because conference games will be close.
Aidoo's performance v Michigan was encouraging. And no disrespect to the other players, yet Thiero may be the heart & soul of the team. Thiero had an illness, and he gave Calipari 20+ gritty minutes in which he still played with physicality and he aggressively drove to the hoop.
Coach Cal is a treasure to listen to. I should have known this by now, but he was the enemy for so long that I didn’t pay attention to him. This guy is awesome.
Play defense all game!!! Guard the perimeter much better, all game. So much talent on the team, but got to play hard for 40 minutes. But this win will build confidence and mental toughness.
Yep agree - it showed them what they have to aspire to in order to win against top talent. They survived that last punch ….. barely. Not making free throws just kills us and puts most games in jeopardy when it doesn’t have to be. It’s age and experience too. Guys just can’t only play O. They gotta play lockdown D and do the basic 101 stuff like drop gimme free throws at crucial times in the game but again that takes game experience and maturity.
I love that Cal pointed out TB overcoming the missed FT's with the big-time block. And he also praised Nellie for making a hustle play after he had been beat.
Nolan had 40 minutes of Hell. Cal will get there. We have the talent but just got to get well and get that killer instinct. I didn’t feel comfortable with an 18 point lead with 8 minutes left. Michigan cut that down so fast it made your head spin. Those two Michigan 7 footers are phenoms. They move, pass and handle the ball like guards, amazing to watch. For TB to get that block at the end of the-HUGE! And the tipped pass the last 3.7 seconds - HUGE! That’s killer effort. But I don’t see how coaches manage the portal and NIL. There is no player commitment anymore - none. They are 18-19 yo immature boys with millions thrown at them. They get sideways with a coach and then act like a 2yo and leave. NCAA - total F - U with portal and NIL. It’s the same with all teams but NCAA basketball could be better with a few guardrails in place. FACT.
@@ChristopherBishop-w1b Congrats on your one quality win this year. But yall are getting healthy and DJ is actually getting better. Aidoo is a big peice for yall.
They wouldn't have been able to play anywhere else except for you and make it to the NBA and become rich? They were McDonald's all Americans before you. You used other peoples money and NIL to recruit them. They made YOU rich. You've made a career out of it. Arrogance personified.
@billybarber2064 Some coach team ball without having to have every 5 star they can buy. Hurley just won back to back and others as well. Cal takes credit for getting them to the NBA as if its his coaching alone. Nobody has had more talent through the years with so many early exits in March.
@@joeywilson9067 As I am watching this year play out I look back on a lot of UKs roster and where they are at now. G league and overseas is higher than players playing in the NBA. The quantity Cal has squandered is ludicrous.
Coach Cal pressers are a must watch! No wonder so many great players want to play for this guy!
Great job coach cal I promise you we appreciate you when it's all said and done
WPS.....Great win and glad to have you, please work on the FT's.
Congrats on the win!!

Word. I love how he describes his team and what is happening:) WPS :) Go Hawgs:) It is BB Season:)
Team came a long way last night, together.
Im a Kentucky guy but im rooting for Cal. i dont think hes the coach he was 6 years ago but he is still better than most. great win for Ark.
Incredible point swings. It is nice we are capable of removing a big deficit. Gave up a big run as well though
Slowly getting better. Next three weeks, three games, practice and rest.

7:43 Cal’s reaction to the Brooklyn reporters tone was hilarious

Need more things of this nature and cold beer.
me too
Ol pitt 😅😂
Got the cold beer on tap
@@aaronlovell6026 Hit that damn jukebox!
Dude has pushed me to hard liquor. 😂
Can we get to the point where we can get a mic to the folks asking the questions?
Typical Arkansas. We're behind on everything.
@@Richard-hx6mi It's not just Arkansas. You can never hear the questions being asked by the press. It's crazy to think we can't get good audio.
@@Richard-hx6mikeep thinking that!
@@Richard-hx6minope - it’s a lot of places. You would think MSG would have those amenities. This is a premiere event.
You spoiled brat! 😂
I think I'm color blind....his hanky looks blue to me. WPS!!!! Nice win🐗🐗🐗
Was it blue/orange like the knicks? They play in MSG
Looks like a Jimmy V hanky to me.
WPS
Where my Kentucky fan haters at??
Probably talking about the win against Gonzaga.
@@ChristopherBishop-w1b Congrats on your one quality win this year. But yall are getting healthy and DJ is actually getting better. Aidoo is a big peice for yall.
@ what are you talking about? I’m a Kentucky fan….
Euh almost let them come back have to finish that game
But they did..
They did finish that game
@dodgechallenger2116 WPS🥰
what are you talking about
We did?
He keeps sounding like he’s trying to convince himself he did the right thing to coach arkansas
Nah he seems genuinely happy af to be here.
He’s always talked like this in pressers. He just expects greatness
make sure Pope can win a tourney game then come back
@@jofra501how do you think Cal ended up at Arkansas?
@richardbaker_0086 I'm glad he's here, but he just keeps saying that he's so happy in all his pressers!

Isn't that what every coach does?
