By the time I can get the ESPN app to load we would have won the 2023 FBS championship.

Big difference in FT opportunities. LSU staying in the game because they have hit like 13-14 FT's with Bama only 2-2. Bama needs to get more agressive on offense aget to the line more. On D gotta stop reaching and fouling. Now Oats technical was a 4 point swing otherwise it would be a 9 point versus 5 point lead.

I don’t even know why players are coached to stand flat footed with their hands above their heads when offensive guy backs into the basketball for a shot. A foul is gong to be called no matter what. IMO just a waste of time to coach this.

Guess our boys are going to let LSU hang around.

A little green in his back pocket, bring out the nasty!

Was Pringle doing that at Pat Adams?

Baton Rouge translation from French = Baton (stick) Rouge (Red).

Duh. Should've caught that. Thanks.

As bad as it has been the production value on these games gets worse: our announcers tonight.

We're watching Bama hit a cold spell for the last four to five minutes of the game. The story gets stronger legs as the game goes on, "impressive LSU defense."

Was it though?

Granted, they held Bama to four points less than their season average. Alongside that, Bama scored about ten more than LSU has allowed, on average this season. And then we've got 45% from the field, 45% from 3, and over 90% from the line.

Miller not at his best, getting called for foul if he's inbounds on the court...win by 10 on the road. Weren't pretty but I didn't hear anyone say it was a beauty contest.

 

[TerryP]

Weren't pretty

Meh, you're nitpicking.

The interruptions were like scratches on vinyl...always at the wrong time when you're on the right track.

This is what these guys needed to have done. A tight game.

Was an odd line up Oats had out on the court during that run and a lot of standing around dribbling at the top of the key. Seemed to be more about Bama and what we were not doing on offense.

.win by 10 on the road.

Should have been 15+ were it not for the 4-5 minute drought at the end. We were up 12 for a big part of that but did not push the lead higher.

Or scratches on a chalk board.

Nice road win .... I thought CNO should have pulled Miller with 3 fouls at the 12 min mark 2nd half.

We lost last season in OT. You mean two years ago?

I, uhm, have slept since then. Wow! That sometimers really catches up wit... I'll go sit over there.

and over 90% from the line.

Great to see, and in a hostile road environment, no less.

Remember how we used to bitch and moan about losing games because we'd miss upwards of double-digit foul shots?

It wasn't pretty CNO's first year here (because it apparently wasn't a priority under previous regimes ) and it started trending upward by year 2.
