Game Thread: Alabama-Villanova (NCAA Tournament Round 2)

[BamaInBham]

We really need to recruit some...

Exactly, without shooters you can't even drive or pass inside against a good team. Bama has 2 decent but erratic 3 pt shooters: Sexton and Petty. Reese would be good but it's tough to find someone he can guard. Hopefully, Butler will solve the PG problem - Bama doesn't have one. 2 decent ball-handlers, Sexton and Key, and even they are TO prone.

Just keep playing. Keep driving. Try to get them in foul trouble. At least make it respectable.

What can you do when a good team like Nova is hitting every three they put up. I'm a never give up guy, but this one looks like it's over. Let's just finish strong, and use getting to the dance to build on next year.

Form tackle Bridges every time he gets the ball. Kid is shooting into a swimming pool right now.

Whatever happens, I can say the journey with this years team was amazing. The ups and downs, the turn arounds and all of those things was something to watch. I hope we can be a title team soon.

Not defending. Not shooting. Not rebounding. Recipe for a blowout. Quit looking at the scoreboard and just play Bama.

Well at least Nova was my bracket winner pick. :biggrin:

 

[BamaMan84]

I know one thing they need to work on in the off season there foul shooting!

What in hell is it with Bama and FTs? And I just don't mean this team and this coach. Is the stripe placed incorrectly at Coleman or something?

#4 for Villanova, is he the one with the whistle in his mouth?

Haha, he likes the frequent “bomb” when making a mistake. The camera has caught it four times.

It has been a consistent problem for a couple of decades now.

With 3 shooting like that, there's no answer...

 

[dayhiker]

Our three point d harkens back to the Mark Gottfied coaching days.

Seriously. They’re just draining 3s, even the well defended ones.

Nova up 67-40 with 7:23 left

Bridges has 22 this half. To call that a hot hand would be an understatement.

It almost seems like Nova can't make many shots inside the arc, but can't miss from outside the arc. How do you defend that

It is not a priority in recruiting. Never has been. We have gone after athletes for years. Not fundamentally sounds players. I honestly would love to see it change. We give away 8-10 points every game because of it.

I’m sure Sexton is gone....but if we can recruit another two wing shooters....next year could be fun
