Very disappointing. Can we not play two good halves?

Yes, but not in the same game.:mad2:

Listened on the radio. Chris Stewart was beside himself most of the game. There is no way to justify this sort of officiating.

Yeah, pretty much how I heard it. He almost lost it, on a few bad calls.

We've had some tough losses where this question absolutely applies, this was not one of those games

We did get beat on the boards.Some of that might have been our bigs playing with too many fouls, but UcheaT got too many second-chance points.

It was pretty funny. He sort of snapped at Brian at one point.

Bama fell apart the last 7 minutes...

"Fell apart" because those playing the part of starting for a legit SEC contender...misplay the part game after game. Inevitable, it seems. Losing to a Barnes-"coached" team is a new low for the season.

The refs decided we weren't winning.

Yeah. They had 15 offensive rebounds. I think 5 came on one possession when they finally ended up with a 3-point shot going in.

OK, to be fair.....................

5 point lead, fast break, and we throw it away. They turn around and get a 3.

5 point swing. Can't blame the refs, for that.

OK, we can, since it should not have been that close.

Time for baseball. Over and out.

You know how these officiating is bad for the game? I am completely uninterested in what we did wrong, as the officiating paralyzed us and destroyed any rhythm that had going.

Conference-wide, the whole officiating thing seems to have devolved into the refs are going to spot the home team 10+ chances at the FT line and the visiting team has to overcome it.

I will keep repeating it. The conference needs it's own slate of officials not subcontractors who may call multiple games across conferences. Bad losses in conference have the likely potential to benefit an out of conference team with similar postseason opportunities. If the conference wants more teams in the NCAA tournament they have to balance the officiating simple as that.

But we can't have our own officials because no one has their own.

That play was indeed huge. If we back it out and simply run our offense, eat some clock and maybe score to go up by seven we would have won the game. That being said, we thought we had the break and went for it. Can't blame Ingram for doing what comes naturally.
The officiating wasn't good at all. In my opinion UT could have been called for about four flagrant fouls.
This isn't the NBA. There's no such thing as "a good hard foul". A "good hard foul" in college basketball is supposed to be a flagrant foul.
Overall, a good regular season. We lost some we should have won but we also won some we could have easily lost.
It probably balanced out.
Proud of the team.
RTR! sip

Apparently not. We finished last season horribly and seem to be following the same plan this year. If we were a horse, they'd shoot us. Only thing we can hope is that we can win a few in the SEC tourney.

In both years we exceeded expectations. Worth remembering.

I have to say I accidentally thanked this when scrolling. I actually completely disagree with post. Did people actually watch us and notice how bad we were under CAG?! Watch us closely. We are actually running sets, scoring out of timeouts, actually trying to attack the other teams weakness like we have watched film and have a gameplan. This criticism every time we lose a game is ridiculous! He is in his 2nd season. Give him time. CAJ is going to do great things here!

Tournament teams do not blow big leads.

This is such a dumb statement.

First, no one has said we are tournament team for a few weeks, so by your logic, we can blow a big lead.

Second and most importantly, Alabama didn't blow a lead today. The officials assisted UT as much as possible.

This is basketball 16 points really isn't that big of a lead. Especially early in the game, especially on the road. Teams lose those leads all the time. Are we an NCAA TOURNAMENT team? Absolutely not, but to even NCAA tourney teams have blown leads like that. Esp on the road in CBB.
