John Wall doesn't look like he's smiling as much as he was earlier in the season.
When I asked him if that was true, he agreed.
Wall was called out by Cal after the Cats lost to South Carolina. Cal was trying to defend Patrick Patterson who was taking some heat for his play, and in the process, he was strong about Wall.
"I don't know. He said I played awful," says John Wall.
"I didn't think I played that bad. I don't know what to expect. He's probably going to say I played bad today too so. I don't know. I just try not to listen to him and go out and play basketball and try and help my team win."
You could hear it in Walls voice that he was down. Cal's comments bothered him.
"Yeah, I think it's going to bother any player when he tells you that."
Wall is searching for answers. He's not sure why he's so unhappy.
"To be honest, I really haven't been having fun for the last two weeks. It's just being frustrated and things like that so, I just got to figure it out before we go further in league play."
Frustrated with how your playing, the team is playing, what is going on, is it just a lull in the season ?
"'Frustrated with everything. I don't know, one through twenty. Any ideas it is."
The Cats had just beaten Vandy to go to 20-1. But Wall looked like the Cats had just lost two in a row.

Calipari has never been able to coach. Have you not ever watched him? We got a guy who with the help of WWW brings in top tier recruits. Then he turns them loose in his DDM offense and yells and cusses at them a bunch if they don't play like he wants them to play. The recruits win the games, not Cal.

I don't think Wall had a good game at SC. He did score at clench times a couple times in the game but was not able to defend Downey and it seemed to take a toll on his offensive game too. I understand that. Wall moves like greased lighting, but Downey could make anyone look slow. I think several factors have affected several starters play of late. Cousins has taken up the slack. All we need now is for the others to come out of shock and play the way they were playing. This team is going places, make no mistake. Just relax and have fun again. GO CATS!
