🏈 GAME THREAD Alabama Men’s Basketball Falls at Kentucky, 81-71

[bamabigdawg]

im surprised we are still in this game with as much as they are letting UK get away with.

And as soon as I click "post reply", KY goes over-the-back yet Again with no whistle, but our guy sneezes and gets called.

 

[bamabigdawg]

Hell Donta got knocked to the ground on defense and they gave UK a 3 pt play....Sexton on the next play gets mugged going to the basket and the announcer says on national tv oh i think they should have let that go. Its obvious who they want to win. And UKs bigs u can tell have been told they arent gonna call over the back so they dont even try and hide it anymore

I'm all about blaming the officials but KY looks to me to be going over the top of us, not over the back. Position is only part of rebounding, not a foul just because one guy is behind the other.

Wish we could see this same team with 1 year pysical/mental maturity. Is H. Jones really a possible top 20 pick, I see potential, but do NBA teams use 1st rd picks for players who might contribute in 2-3 years?

Bruh, I played college basketball before health issues ended my career.

I know the difference. Lol.

So apparantly its good defense on UK's part when Petty goes up for a 3 to slap both of his hands so he loses the ball. I wish that was the case back when i played

The cats won this game on the boards and at the FT line.

We just see things differently. I'm sure a few of their O rebounds could have been questionable/over the back, but all 20+ of them????

 

[EasyTider]

Sexton has had a schite game as well.

Not all, but a majority.

We'll see if they get away with those again on a neutral floor in St. Louis.

No doubt about that.

I don't remember anyone saying H. Jones is entering the draft. He is a talented freshman with huge upside. He is young and talented.

The only person they have talked about besides Sexton was possibly Key but with the injury and how long its taken him to get back in the flow i see him coming back next year too. Jones would be a project right now at that level. still needs to develop more offensively and get a lil stronger. Team should be pretty much intact besides Sexton and maybe Riley less he got that redshirt

Meanwhile the Cocks are fucking the Tigers by 26 late in 1H.

I think it's a foregone conclusion that Riley is getting the med shirt exception.

He may not be the best scorer, but he Is a leader in effort and toughness. He scraps and fights for every loose ball and rebound. We sure could've used him today.

I've seen mock drafts with him in top 15-20. Haven't heard if he's even considering it. I realize NBA more likely to project on future stars with draft picks, but I would think your 1st pick should at least contribute in year 1. Jones is future star but would have to play as a 2 with current body and still likely would be physically abused (not to mention his shot). Hopefully everyone bigger /better/healthy next year (minus Sexton).

Most frustrating last five minutes ever. We just looked stupid.

There is NO way. I know the scouts love his upside but he will be in T-town at least two more years and most likely three.
