They should be embarassed how much they are getting pushed around inside.

 

[bamanc50]

Unit CNO’s get some biggies, gets them in the weight room, and is physical around the rim rebounding he’s going to have trouble with teams like this.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Hope Ament is okay. That looked bad.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Ament is a boss, but I hope he's done for the day. Of course he won't be.

 

[mando]

Even when they get a rebound they turn it over. The viles have a 16 to 7 advantage on the board smh.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Well this game is over. No defense whatsoever. Another really shit job by Oats and Adams by getting a gameplan together. Horrible offensive game plan to attack TN.

 

[mando]

Viles have 11 offensive boards 15 minutes into the first half and bama has 7 turnovers. Down 10 now. Maybe Oats needs find those who want to compete on the floor and live with the results.

 

[Bammerboy321]

If Williamson wasn't on this team, it'd be really hard to find another 5 in CBB that is softer than Sherrell.

 

[TideatMileHigh]

I dont follow college basketball. Why does Oats always struggle against these chumps?

 

[mando]

Can't say I am surprise Barnes has Oats number. Going to have to find a way to shoot their way out of the poor board play. Offensively they have the fire power but not sure as well as Barnes teams defend the 3.

I dont follow college basketball. Why does Oats always struggle against these chumps?

They're a microcosm of Oats consistent struggles against physical brands. It's partially why some of his better teams lost to UCLA and San Diego State in the 16, despite better seeding. This will likely be the sixth straight loss to them. He's lost five straight to Florida. Alabama is soft inside at 5 and unfortunately have zero presence from any forwards too.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama really just needs one run but Sherrell is so disinterested in doing anything but ball watch. He is literally sitting there.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Fucking Sherrell god lee.

 

[BamaFan334]

Ament is a boss, but I hope he's done for the day. Of course he won't be.

Appears they don't need him.

 

[mando]

This has gotten beyond a joke on the boards. Oats really? This effort is what you take to Knoxville?

 

[#80]

UT got every rebound and loose ball. This team looks like they have no interest in playing.
Williamson is worthless.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Hate saying it too but Oats is usually pretty animated and demanding on the sideline when a game is going like this. Today he doesn't look nearly as invested.

 

[#80]

We are -13 on the boards with 8 TO's it's a miracle they are not down 20. Barnes owns Oats.

 

[BamaFan334]

Damn Philon. Holloway 2-2 and Writsell hit a four point play and then Philon misses two in a row to hurt that run. Pass the damn ball.

 

[mando]

Way to go Oats, get a technical because you are getting punked on the boards. Came out playing a little better that does not help your team.

You need to be pissed off at your team and their effort. 23 offensive boards and 13 minutes still remain.
