Game Thread: UCF @ Bama Game Thread (ESPNU)

[JustNeedMe81]

I just noticed something. Sexton and doesn't have their name on back of the jersey. Did I miss something?

 

[day-day]

Didn't hear a good explanation when he came out the 2nd half, "they busted out a new jersey for Sexton". He started with No. 2. Don't know if there was blood or something on his game jersey?

 

[day-day]

Sexton and Ingram need to drive to the basket (Ingram out right now). The outside shots aren't falling right now. The game is frustratingly close at the moment.

ETA: UCF doing a good job of cutting off the penetration dribble with double-team switches.

Defense has to improve- and by a substantial amount.

Bama should not be struggling with this team. UCF has frustrated Bama with their defense the last few minutes. Ingram finally had a good drive and missed a layup (expecting contact I think). Bama has not been able to get a rebound or turnover and run the fastbreak. Outside shooting has been awful.

Sums it up, not playing well, need a sustained spark

How'd they miss that foul by Fall over Ingram? Starting to pick up now...

Not getting any offensive rebounds.

And the clock keeps ticking...

Team simply looks unfocused today.

We will struggle vs senior led teams....we have to hope the talent can overcome it

Caught a break there that they didn’t finish

Got lucky on UCF breaking the press. Reviewing for UCF elbow into team mate?

ETA: clock didn't start; maybe that's the review

How many shots have rimmed in and out?

This is the second game in a row where our team has not looked like it was fully focused. The last game was understandable, after what happened with Minnesota. This game poses the challenge of being in the shadow of the football CFP topics and being another team that our guys may be guilty of overlooking.

The team must focus and win games like this one, if they are going to achieve their potential. Duke can get away with less than full effort and still win the vast majority of their games due to their depth of talent, but we can't play this way very often and still win. I hope coach Johnson can get our guys both healthy re-focused before this next stretch of games or we will pickup several losses.

Hopefully we finally got something going

A couple of great ball handling plays by Sexton.

 

[TideWatcher]

Sexton can be unreal; that was amazing. Bama needs to play better D down the stretch

 

[carder24]

There we go! Great catch and slam by Hall, great run up the court by Sexton, and the three by Petty!
