🏀 Alabama Falls to No. 5 Kentucky, 66-55, Saturday Night in Coleman Coliseum

Why is Davidson in the game and handling the ball? He is not helping the team.

We need more turnovers

 

[#80]

Rojas and Gary need to STOP shooting 3's Rojas is Mr. Brick

On a positive note we are only down 6 at half and Bediako had a good 1st half.

Have to admit. Kentucky is a well coached team. Our guys are not getting some calls but you just have to play through it. Also our guys are playing hard but this high school offense is not going to work against this team especially when the 3’s are not falling.

Not just 3s. But at the rim aren't falling either
Terrible shots. Just tossing ball up to rim hoping it falls. Geeze

 

[EasyTider]

I could shoot 14 half court hook shots and hit 2. Hopefully we're recruiting shooters if we are going to be the Oklahoma football of basketball.

This team can't really rely on the 3's this year. They are just shooting to poorly. They are much better when the 2's are falling. Problem is UK is good defensively so even the 2 pointers are a struggle which brings me to FT's. You can't shoot less than 50% and win in a game like this. 6 point game and the difference is FT shooting. UK hitting them probably 90+% then Bama is less than 50%. At one time I think they were 5-10 but I think they missed another couple since I saw that stat. May be 5-12 now not sure.

Right. Gotta win at charity stripe

These lineups we are sending out are head scratching. Davidson can't seem to quit making bad decisions. Shackelford is not a ball handler and he continues to turn the ball over.

Why are we not setting Shackleford up for threes? We are terrible in the paint outside of Bediako who is killing it.

Defense has been decent. Rebounding has been a very pleasant surprise. We gotta hit free throws.

 

[bamanc50]

Unbelievable to watch this team completely blow up. Continue to do the same thing expecting a different result.

Shackleford is playing?

Got it down to three then missed a FT and UK runs out and hits a layup. Then you have Rojas airballing 3's (Oats is an idiot for giving him the green light) and just like that UK is up 10. This team is about to go to 4-6 in the sec. Think about that they are about to be 2 games under .500.

If a team can defend Quinerly or Shackleford this team is done offensively. Can't get anything out of JD/Gurley/Ellis on the offensive end. Ellis could be that if he would pull the trigger. Run some plays for him Oats. Gotta be better the Rojas throwing up a 3 smh.

 

[PurlJam]

UK is solid this season…they skull drug Kansas… them and Awbarn will be a good one to watch.

 

[bamanc50]

Shooting 28%…2 for 21 3’s and 9 of 16 FT’s is not going to win you very many games.

 

[#80]

JD needs to grab some pine.

 

[BamaFan334]

I'm to the point I'd rather see JD launch 50 3's a game than attempt to dish the ball. He needs to be benched because he just isn't helping the team at this point.

The entire team just needs to shoot threes at this point. I'd rather shoot 5% than see this many turnovers. Leaving their damn feet again and having nowjere to go other than a soft BS pass.

 

[mando]

Finally get a turnover on UK then turn the ball over out of bounds and then UK hits a 2 and gets a foul. This team is maddening.... Oh down 13 smh.

 

[PurlJam]

Didn’t realize we are a Culinary school…turnovers out the ass.

 

[mando]

Get Davidson out of the game!!!!

 

[#80]

Please put JD on the bench
