I just don't understand even putting #15 on the floor. He brings nothing that I can see

It is the biggest mystery of how bad he looks. Yes it was a low level conference but he still held his own against better competition.

That is more like it

[DzynKingRTR]

I want over 100. let's go!

 

[CrimsonJazz]

Not impressed with these officials.

 

[CrimSonami]

I want over 100. let's go!

We WERE on pace, but having spurts of poor execution kinda making it harder.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Sloppy play now

 

[CrimSonami]

ROLL TIDE!

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Roll Tide!

 

[BhamToTexas]

Good win. Gave up too many points.

 

[CajunCrimson]

104 points. Yet didn’t play overly well against a decent team. Now per Torvik #1 offense, #51 defense. #13 overall.

 

[bamadwain]

Good win! USF is a solid team, they will make some noise in AAC

 

[Coach D]

Team has to get better rebounding. They play great defense just to give up 3 rebounds and finally a score. Can’t beat top teams like that. Even this game we have 3 guys vs 1 and the 1 gets the ball.

I know we are emphasizing rebounding to the media and maybe with the players. But the technique and spacing for rebounds in live games looks like they dont work on it in practice. We rarely had numbers last night to win rebounds, not enough guys going after the basketball. I didnt see any box out technique utilized. Too many guys within the restricted area where the ball just bounces over your head.

A change in strategy we is needed.

And Williamson is not even playing to the level of a decent high school player right now. You might as well play 5 on 4 as put him on the court. He is just in the way.

Teams shooting 3s more than ever. Lots of long rebounds. Teams spread the floor and on defense it's harder to get into rebounding position. Plus, with today's athletes, securing the restricted area isn't always the best rebounding position with teams taking so many outside shots.

When we are on offense, we open have 4 or 5 behind the 3 point line when we shoot. We can't crash the boards with all of them or we get beat going the other way with long rebounds.

I think our offensive style of play will always limit our offensive rebounding. And I think our roster configuration doesn't always do us favors in defensive rebounding.

Yes to an extent. But we have numbers or match numbers in defensive rebounding but bama guys just don’t go get it or have weak hands. They are simply getting beat excluding Allen really. Bama playing 5 out doesn’t help but the bigger issue is bama defensive rebounding giving up 2-4 shots to good teams.
