Official Alabama vs. NC State Thread

[CokerGuy29]

Hmmm...back and forth early. Hendrix and Davidson looking good inside but a few sloppy turnovers. 13-11 Bama with 12:55 in the half

 

[CokerGuy29]

Looking solid now, Hendrix already with 8, all 5 starters already have points.
18-11 with 12 minutes left. I think we have one of the most balanced scoring attacks in the country.

nice to see steele playing even if he's not 100%

 

[CokerGuy29]

He is not looking too bad. Good to see him get some time and hit a shot. Hopefully that means he is a lot closer to reaching 100%. Maybe he can get there before SEC play.

 

[CokerGuy29]

Maybe starting to stretch it out now. 23-12 with 10 min to go in the half. Steele with another 3. Hendrix with 8, Steele with 6, Riley with 5...Gee sitting out with 2 early fouls.

25-15 Bama with 7 mins left in the 1st half with NC State's Grant at the foul line.

Oops Bama 25-NC State 19 with 6:55 left in the 1st half.

 

[CokerGuy29]

We are cleaning everything off the boards, shooting like 70%, and blocking half their shots. If we could stop the needless turnovers this game wouldn't even be close. 25-19 with 7 minutes left. NC State on a run.

30-21 Bama with 5 mins left in the 1st half. We need to stop these damn turnovers!

 

[jayt4uofa]

39-27 Bama at the half!

 

[CokerGuy29]

39-27 Bama at the half. Steele looking a lotttt better. Here's hopin he is healed. Story of the half, turnovers. Would be about a 25 point game or more if we were taking care of the ball. Looking pretty good other than that however.

 

[CornBiscuit]

Missed 1st half with haircut. :mad2: Sounds like we are playing well. Is Steele playing good defense?

 

[Bama 3:16]

Good first half. If we cut down turnovers and come out strong to start the second half to match NC State's energy, we will win.

 

[CokerGuy29]

They all have played pretty good defense overall I think. A lot of NC States points have been on turnovers that turned into fast breaks. I would say Steele is still not at 100%, but he is moving around pretty well. Still seems a little sloppy sometimes though. Hollinger has done a pretty good job on their point guard. He lacks about 10 inches on him, but he guarded him for a large portion of the half and did a pretty good job. Think he only had 4 points or so, and they mentioned him as a scoring threat.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

I had to work late - just on. Anyone want to summarize?

 

[CokerGuy29]

We are rebounding, shooting, blocking, but turning the ball over. Should be a blowout, but turnovers only thing keeping NC State in the game. Dominated in every other category in the first half.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Forget it. It's ancient history, I see...

 

[jayt4uofa]

39-30 Bama with 19:15 left in the 2nd half.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Were we this cold first half?

 

[jayt4uofa]

44-30 Bama with 16 mins left in the game. Steele with 4 3's!
