Game Thread: Alabama @ Kentucky

[bamagradinATL]

I don't think our guys are intimidated by Rupp but the stripes are...

Utterly rediculous!

Well, it just looks like two pretty average teams right now.

I'm thinking the same. Bama can play better and will hopefully take over the 2nd half

Two excellent defensive teams which are right now mediocre on offense can make it look that way...

That was a dumb foul.

Just an extra half second on our FT attempts...

That was a dumb foul.

Except it wasn’t a foul.

Kentucky is up 39-35 at halftime.

Nice dunk! Need to work the ball inside more. Need to block out down low. Need to keep bodies under control. Just have to play a little smarter and harder in the 2nd to take this one.

True, but I think their records also indicate that they are both pretty average teams. There is a lot of talent on the floor, though.

Hardly ever a foul when hitting the ball from underneath; no part of the other player is there.

Ugh.....that was like watching a rerun of 1970s roller derby

It looked like he reached in and fouled about 35 feet from the basket to me. It wasn't smart. Anyway, we are still in it despite very poor shooting from the floor.

Looking at stats...losing due to rebound margin, too many 3 point attempts by Bama, and free throw shooting.

Just rewatched the play. Ball went straight up in the air. CBS didn't show a replay to know for sure, but I'm not sure it was a foul.

We are playing better than I expected. I thought Kentucky would play with their hair on fire. If we could get some of those calls to go our way we would be winning. Kentucky is getting away with everything and we are getting called for everything. Its not hard to see who the announcers are rooting for. He made out like Reese hammered the Kentucky player when if you look at it he got ball and hand. The hand is part of the ball. He should know that.

We are in good position considering our shooting pct. Reese came to play and we need to give him more minutes in the 2nd half.

I would say that sums it up pretty well. The good news is that we can definitely play better than we played. Let's see if we actually get it done.

He did reach up at the ball, but he had all ball. I agree though we aren’t shooting well. Most teams don’t shoot well vs UK because of their length. If this game were anywhere but Rupp I think we beat them by double digits.

We are being out rebounded 22-14. We generally don’t win when we are out rebounded. We usually get a lot of 2nd chance points.
