Philon and Holloway have a ton of chemistry between each other.

19 turnovers and 4-27 from behind the arc, how are we winning? Oh yeah, because they are 1- 21 from the arc and have only 7 points off turnovers. Dodging a bullet!

Just said it and it's proving to be true. Might really have something here. Both get blow bys and immediately showcase their ability to break down the defense and facilitate. The 3s they're hitting is just a cherry on top.

Our length is giving them issues. The D has been good. They haven't had many shots that are open or high quality.

That said, our ball screen D still needs a lot of work. But I don't think Oats has ever figured that aspect out if we're being honest.

The landscape in College Basketball is vastly different due to NIL and the portal just being free agency. But if we can somehow keep Philon and Holloway for next season's team, it's going to be another special year.

Good steal by Sears but man just a bad pass to Youngblood in transition. Had to reset his feet and back away from the paint for an open shot. Thought he had a lob there. Bad pass took away an easy bucket.

Backup time. Offense wasn't the best but the quality of shots improved in the second half. Dioubate, Reid, Philon, Nelson, Holloway, and Mallette all seem to be progressing. I think Youngblood looked good too. Just needs to find his role.

Alabama's won 34 of their last 36 games at home. That's damn impressive.

Good dominating win.

Yep. And he was visibly upset after a couple of possessions that led to turnovers.

Listened on the radio coming back to Ohio yesterday. Any win is a good one but gee whiz, we sounded horrible shooting and turnovers. Good thing it was a MAC team not a SEC team. Getting ready to play that brutal SEC stretch. Best of luck men.

The chemistry between Holloway and Philon is noticeable
