Four times Alabama missed more FTs than the difference in the game:
Georgia State - lost by 3 and missed 13 FTs
Texas A&M - lost by 1 and missed 11 FTs
Tennessee - lost by 3 and missed 10 FTs
LSU - lost by 5 and missed 10 FTs
That's pathetic. Win those games, and Alabama is 21-9 and very comfortably in the tournament.
The team lacks mental toughness and physical toughness. If Avery remains at UA, one of the top things is to find a new S&C coach. Guys haven't added muscle once on campus, and they seem to get nicked up fairly often.
Might partially explain the end of the year records, too.
2016: 6-2 in February; 0-2 in March regular season2017: 3-5 in February; 1-1 in March regular season2018: 3-4 in February; 0-1 in March regular season (ended on a 5 game losing streak)2019: 4-4 in February; 0-2 in March thus far
A coach focused on fundamentals is also desperately needed. Right now, we have two recruiters on the bench. With only three assistants, let's make it one and two solid coaches.
