What can you say...what almost felt like an epic comeback and a team defining win turns into a let down and disappointment. The Cats looked horrible for about 30 minutes against Alabama, but the 10 minute spurt in the second half pulled them out of a 20 point hole. In the end though the Cats didn't execute on their final 2 attempts and take what is going to be a hard loss to swallow.
Other than plenty of missed opportunities, missed free throws, and missed defensive assignments the other theme that resonated from the game and Calipari is Terrence Jones' continued resistance to pass the ball once he touches it. During a time out Calipari was shown tearing into Jones and later apologized to the media for it. On the final play the shot was set up for Doron Lamb, but Terrence Jones ended up keeping the ball and shooting a horrible heave at the basket. Calipari has promised that the team will practice and it will be brutal.
Jones needs to man up and buy into Cal's system
