Link: Lets get ready for BAMA in the ESPN Invitational Nov. 25, 26 & 28

Way too many wasted possessions tonight as well. Just throwing the ball away.

 

[day-day]

I thought Coach Oats emphasized getting to the line as a big part of their game. Of course, making the free throws is an important part of that.

 

[AUDub]

Iona is a tournament team.

 

[TideEngineer08]

If half your game plan revolves around driving to the basket it makes zero sense to not be good at FT shooting.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Iona is a tournament team.

Well yeah. A 14 seed though.

 

[Go Bama]

Huge 3 by Shackelford.

 

[AUDub]

Well yeah. A 14 seed though.

As an AQ but a deep and experienced mid-major. They're good.

Don't freak out over a loss. Remember when Bama lost to Western Kentucky then proceeded to run roughshod through the SEC? Yeah, that.

 

[bvandegraff]

All stats pretty identical but one…

 

[edwd58]

Needed that rebound...

Yeah it’s basketball, not football. But still frustrating.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

It's so tiring to lose these games from the line...

 

[TideEngineer08]

We come out of a timeout with that?

 

[AUDub]

Basketball is funny in that regard. You actually get a chance to WORK on stuff as the season progresses.

CNO needs to get the boys' heads in the game from the line.

 

[B1GTide]

Can't win the boards late. Shame, but that is the real difference when it mattered.

 

[4Q Basket Case]

It's so tiring to lose these games from the line...

Absoultely.

We should be comfortably ahead. We are behind because of <50% free throws.

Iona hits the crucial FT. We’re done.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Geez what a pitiful effort at the end.

Roll Tide anyway.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Well, we worked hard to lose and we did...

 

[day-day]

Iona outplayed Bama in the last 5 minutes of the game and hit some big buckets inside and out.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Did not get to watch and glad I didn't

 

[bvandegraff]

Wonder if Oats’ precious analytics will reveal the need spend more time practicing free throws….
