Just got home from the game. It was glorious watching the fans start streaming out with about 4-5 minutes to go. There was a pretty good Bama contingent there. It was easy to pick up the red in the crowd.

I think Mallette is already one of my favorite players

Holloway filled in for 3’s tonight. Losing LW creates a huge scoring loss, and an overal solid team player. Great effort last night, especially on the road and at a place like Cameron,

[Coach D]

Refs were annoying more so in first half than second. But another great team win. When these guys play together watch out and then if threes are falling for more than one guy they can be unstoppable. Philon had a great game. Looks like they are trying to have Sears off ball a little more with Philon and Holloway bring the ball up. Halloway needs to get better with the ball when being pressed but Philon wanted the ball and to be alpha so have to like that.

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

Well it looks like Mallette just picked right up where Trelly left off.

Enjoyed this game a lot. Saw a lot of improvement on D and looked like we were mostly firing on all cylinders generating offense last night.

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

Glad to see Youngblood dressed out, we were playing too well to even need him in the game.

Here's a blurb I scraped from a UNC website:

... Rough night for RJ Davis, who never found a rhythm offensively and finished 7-for-24 from the field and 1-for-11 from three-point range. That now gives him a 1-for-20 mark from three against the Tide in the last two meetings. That will get the most of attention, but Davis' backcourt partner, Elliot Cadeau, also had a rough night, finishing with one point and four turnovers (he has 18 assists and 16 turnovers in his last four games). The trend continues: when Cadeau is good, the Heels are good. When he isn't, they struggle. The entire starting backcourt trio (Seth Trimble finished -19) just didn't have a great night. With this year's team, any time all three of those players struggle, it's going to be a difficult night...

As others have stated, Davis is the leader of the team. Keep him in check and you have a good chance of beating them. BAMA has now done that two years in a row!

As previously mentioned, Rylan Griffen was the guy that shut him down last year. If my arithmetic is correct, Davis went 0-for-9 from three last year.

Equally as impressive, this year, was shutting down Cadeau. He had only 1 point.

That's what I call a job well done!
