I hate tennersaw

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Yep, missing those two and just not enough offense tonight.

Yeah, just not our night.

 

[Bama Shoals]

This will be 5 in a row to the Viles. They’ve been close but they have our number.

 

[BamaNation]

Almost guarantee rick barnes is going to make some crack at CBs expense.

 

[bama_fan01]

Oh well..

Roll Tide!

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Our defense gave us a chance but offense came up empty in last 3 minutes.

 

[Bama Lee]

I hate bad losses at home

 

[Bpilktree]

The transfer guys we brought in have just not been very good or very inconsistent.

 

[bamamc1]

Good Lord.

 

[cthorne22]

We have no one that can guard Ament. And we’re leaving way too many points at the FT line.

Bowin did a good job, but we waited until he scored 27 to do that

 

[Bama Shoals]

They need to figure out how to keep our key players healthy and available.

 

[cthorne22]

Too much hero ball and lousy adjustments

 

[Bama Shoals]

Almost guarantee rick barnes is going to make some crack at CBs expense.

Yep, the CBB world is going to have some laughs at our expense with that loss.

 

[BamaNation]

I didnt feel that tonight we were bad like we were in some other losses. We didnt hit shots when it mattered, missed FTs, and missed the guys who are out. But it felt different and I thought we gave effort.
That said, We have to win our home conference games.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Don't like it but not as upset by this one, just because of Holloway and Allen out. Really encouraged by Wrightsell tonight. I know it is a giant "IF" but get Holloway, Allen back with Wrightsell playing well and Bediako (if he wins in court), then we'll be peaking at the right time.

Observations:
- teams have figured out that hack a shaq method of defense wont get called and thus they utilize it against us
- Williamson isnt an SEC talent
- we never get home cookin
- our shooting has gone on vacation

It's embarrassing when the refs allow BB to be thugball. UT should have had multiple guys foul out with ten minutes to go in the game... but the zebras lacked the courage to call the game evenly. I don't fault UT... I'd tell my guys keep doing it and more as long as they don't call it. In addition to the things that are mentioned here, I think we see how important Allen is to this team. Along with Philon, he's the guy who can successfully slash to the basket against bigs like UT has.

As far as the shooting goes, UT intentionally guarded the perimeter and challenged us to slash to the basket. It's been a kryptonite for us over the past few years... shooters need room and you've got to be able to finish at the rim to get teams out of that game plan. All in all, it was a good effort from our guys and in a normally called game, we walk away with a W with two of our most important guys out.

 

[Special K]

Obviously Holloway being out is never good but it really felt like we missed Allen tonight. Needed another guy who could get to the rim consistently.

Our defense gave us a chance but offense came up empty in last 3 minutes.

With all due respect what game were you watching? We couldn’t get a stop to save our lives.

We have no home court advantage. Coleman is a joke.

Probably didn't word it correctly. Our defense in the last 3 minutes gave us a chance to win.

2 being out took away the main 3pt threat. And 5 out kept Philon on the point all night. Sucks but it is what it is.
