Tonight is why I get Pissed at Miller

Look, I know I give the kid a hard time. The way he is playing tonight is why. He is out there playing with confidence, talking to his teammates and showing some emotion. HE NEEDS TO PLAY LIKE THIS EVERY NIGHT!!! Good game for Darius!!

I agree, Guess he knows now if he don't his butt will be benched.

18 pts.....what a great game by Miller. Hopefully he keeps this run up. PS: Terrence Jones is a GROWN ASS MAN!!!!!

Bho,

I have agreed with you on this in the past but unfortunately, he's the best we have to put out there game in and game out. Good size kid and can be a big part of the team. Tonight he looked awesome.

Here's what Calipari said about his performance...

On Darius Miller's performance

"He was aggressive; that's all I'm asking him to do. You don't have to make every shot. I will say this, he had four turnovers and about three balls jerked out of his hands. At the end of the day I want everything, I want him to grab all those balls (and) be tough with it so you don't turn it over and then play aggressive and the reason is; I think he's that good. Now today he looked like one of the best players in our league. "

It may be in the Herald or Courier or other articles, but Miller came into the interview room with Cal tonight after the game and he said he and Liggins and Harrelson got together as the seniors and decided to do everything they could because this was their team and this was their time to make things happen for the program. I hope effort tonight is more than just a one-game fad or event and more of what-you-can-expect from now on from Miller.

Hopefully he has turned the corner. Got to have that effort every game. I agree BHO, Jones is a grown ass man. He can be an absolute monster!

CK, I understand the fact that he is all that we have, however, that doesn't mean I shouldn't want more out of him. The intensity and effort was noticeable yesterday.

I agree with you completely.

I agree with BHO's frustrations. I think the kid can do that every game. I was very proud of him in the USC game, but face palming too, because he has the talent to be a leader.

I swear that you can tell what kind of game he is going to have after his first two touches.
