| MBB/WBB Alabama Drops Regular Season Finale at LSU in Overtime, 80-77

[bama alum]

Bama's used two different 8 - 0 runs to go up 23 - 20. It's been a bipolar game so far.

Was curious if anyone was going to have a game thread going. Problems still there with turnovers in first half but right now they are hitting 50% from 3 which is how they are ahead. If/When that goes cold well we know what happens.

 

[bama alum]

I think we're lucky that the corndogs turn the ball over as much as Bama does.

And after 8-0 run and timeout by the who, Bama offense goes cold and LSU goes on a run. Turnovers continue... Really pretty pathetic ball handling and passing for athletes at this level.

 

[mando]

LSU taking advantage of the switching defense and getting JQ on their big guy in the paint. JQ has no chance when he is put in those positions. Poor strategy?

Wimp and Dale Brown watching the game, looking like Waldorf and Statler.

 

[bama alum]

Emphatic way to end the half! Bama's up 38 - 36.

 

[mando]

Wimp is thinking the same as the rest of us, really you are this bad at handling the ball and defense at this level? Pretty sure Wimp would have these guys riding the pine if they didn't do the fundamentals.

Somehow Bama is leading at half despite the shooting slumps and poor ball handling. Who knows what we will get from Bama in the 2nd half other than inconsistency?

Good thing Ellis is playing today. Scored like 12 or so points in the 2nd half. Only Bama player to score in several possessions.

 

[mando]

Shackelford struggling shooting today. If he was hitting just a few more bama could pull away. He is getting open looks that he normally knocks down but not today. In the meantime the game is staying within one possession most of the time.

 

[bama alum]

Reckless play and crappy officiating... I'm amazed this game's going to OT.

 

[mando]

Overtime... 72-72. Not sure how.. Bama has gone 10 possessions w/o a FG but free throws saved them. Oh and JD has something like 16 offensive rebounds.

JD can grab a board; he can finish most of his FTs. His other decisions though...

Q should have fouled Eason before he took the layup.

Oats getting out coached by Coach Slime... Shot clock violation. I kept hoping the Who would out pathetic Bama but we keep raising the bar.

 

[bama alum]

More puzzling JD decisions...That one may be the dagger though.

This is where Oats got out coached. They had one idea and it was to get the ball to JQ but when LSU denied the team was lost.

 

[bama alum]

Thank God the regular season is over!

Same crap different day. 20+ turnovers, poor shooting - wash rinse and repeat. Same players on the court although for some unknown reason Bediako did not get as much playing time. Also Shackelford sat last part of regulation and OT.
