🏀 Alabama vs. South Dakota St. - Alabama Buries a Season-High 19 Three-Pointers to Defeat South Dakota State 105-82

Yep right there Cliff not doing good positioning wise on defense. Leads to an and one.

12 3's in the 1st half... Bama's on pace to break their record of 23 in a game...

Youngblood and Dioubate are showing out on D. Dioubate is just so fun to watch play D. Guy hustles more than anyone. His recovery D is about as impressive as his ability to snag O boards off of missed FTs.

Doing well with rebounding and a small amount of turnovers. Crushed that first half!

Solid half shooting even if not against a not so good team, but this is what we should do against a team like SD State, not like the game against ND where 1 player torched us and nearly single handedly skull drug our ass.

CO is too easily backed down in the post.

Thought you were going to work! Lol!

Headed there now actually. Got to watch the game from the hotel lobby while I wait on people.

Can we stop giving Stevenson the ball at the three point line. He's gonna shoot it and I have a better chance hitting the lottery than he has making it.

Why can't we get one of those big man and can tackle and shoot?

Holloway has never seen a shot he didn't like.

Stevenson just hasn't been the same since the OTE camp he went to I wonder what happened there that just screwed his fundamentals or at least his mental confidence. He just looks like a guy who is already sure he's missing.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Well really bad D in the second half. Let up and allowed 49 points. Mo D needs to play way more minutes. Eleven rebounds for this man and he fights every single second he's on the court.

I think our best lineup defensively is Philon-Youngblood-Reid-Dioubate-Sherrell. Hate Reid missed today due to injury because his growth as a player has been fun to watch.

Sherrell is a better big than Cliff and I'll stand by that until proven otherwise.

Next up is a red hot OU team.

He plays around the perimeter too much. Nelson is constantly down low attacking the glass, posting up in the paint, and doing the dirty work. It looked like Stevenson was trying to play more near the basket late and actually had a good post-move to the rim. I think he should focus way more on his presence down low than trying to be a spot up shooter. It wouldn't hurt him to put on some Noah Clowney highlights. Clowney I believe had a huge offensive slump in the middle of the season but still a lot of things to help Alabama win.

I will say this - Stevenson's defense does look to be getting better.

Keep giving him more minutes and maybe some of them will...

This team wlll go as far as the D takes them or should I say the D improvement. Good 1st half D. Bad 2nd half D.
