Bama Game Thread: Bama v Sooners - 1p CST ESPN Sat 1.28 - Q1 Opportunity

[TIDE-HSV]

There's no way to play a team playing over its head, combined with one-sided officiating...

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

🫤 This is what I was afraid of.

 

[Krymsonman]

I hate we have to play in Norman when they join the SEC. This might be our worst house of horrors.

I still can't believe we're letting OU and Texas in the SEC. We don't need them. I guess the almighty dollar has spoken.

 

[day-day]

The flop call against Bediako was bogus; the flop call against Miller looked legit.

 

[bvandegraff]

“Can’t look for a foul”, can we throw these announcers out with the refs?

They’re positively giddy.

 

[GP for Bama]

Absolutely terrible first half.

 

[irvingtontide]

I would say we just have to match their physicality but we get called for every little thing so we would be down to the walk ons in no time

 

[dtgreg]

Well, I guess we can elbow them below the belt and if they "flop" it's a technical on them. Geeeeez

 

[Krymsonman]

Why do we have to play in this challenge - at OU - and have to use Big 12 refs. It's pretty obvious who they want to win.

Also, have we been called for a single "flop" all year?

 

[Bama Shoals]

That was a terrible half of basketball by Bama. Think we let the #2 ranking get to our heads. Tentative and soft play exemplified by the two flops.

 

[dtgreg]

Bediako needs to go ham on them

 

[TIDE-HSV]

We’re getting punched in the mouth. Some of it is officiating but a lot of it they’re hot & aggressive

They're being allowed to be hot and aggressive. That flop call against Miller told me all I needed to know...

 

[rolltide_21]

We’re good enough to win this game in the second half. 75% from 3 is not sustainable.

 

[bvandegraff]

Gotta hope OU reverts to the mean in the second half and our guys can regain their toughness. Hoping the refs will suddenly call it fairly is a waste of time….

 

[dtgreg]

We need some football walk-ons for just such an occasion.

There's no such thing as a "Big 12" ref...

 

[bvandegraff]

Or a Marcus Webb type (I’m aging myself with that reference).

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, let's hope we can make some good adjustments at the half. It's going to be tough since we're playing 5 on 8. Time to suck it up.

Yes, but we given up a lot of points with bad D. Especially with cutters. 75% from 3 & 68% overall isn’t sustainable for them. We’re good enough to win this game even with everything that’s gone wrong in the first half with all the factors being discussed.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

There's no such thing as a "Big 12" ref...

There is, however, such a thing as a corrupt ref...
