Lunardi has stated the winner of this game stays on the bubble while the loser...Bye, Felicia.

State's place looks more than half empty.

Roll Tide baby. Come on boys!

 

[BamaFan334]

We're shooting well so far tonight. Just gotta start playing some defense.

 

[bama alum]

Petty... Oh

 

[BamaFan334]

Oh boy, hope he didn't break something.

Roll Tide!!!!

(Captain Obvious stm't) Bama's gotta do a better job of winning the boards.

 

[mando]

Better D and boards would help. Offense is not the problem. Hated to see Petty go out with the arm injury. I suspect hyper-extended elbow.

At half - State up 41-39. 26 paint points and giving up 6 offensive boards.

 

[bama alum]

WOW! Quite the... interesting shot selection in the last couple of minutes.

I’m guessing Petty injury could be a season ender

 

[bamanc50]

Gone cold on 3’s and weak defense to begin 2nd half

 

[mando]

Not good start to the 2nd half. down 8 points

I would expect nothing less from Mr. Optimistic.

Missed 12 straight 3 pointers.

Missed 12 straight 3 pointers.

And yet, Bama has clawed back and tied the game.

Yep but they just can't get over the hump (no pun intended)... down 5.

 

[#80]

Maybe we can stay close and steal this game at the end.

 

[mando]

Jones fouled out but under review who fouled. Missing free throws is not going to get you back in the game.

 

[Rolltide24]

Ugh. Get your NIT tickets pre-ordered. Did mine a couple weeks back.

Is it me or did we get more Bama B-ball games on TV this season? Seems like I’ve seen more games on this year versus previous years. Nice to see the guys on so many games.

 

[#80]

We win this game if Petty plays. This team is snake bit.
