🏀 GAME THREAD 🏀 #17 Alabama vs. Tennessee - Saturday 7:30 pm (ESPN) | Oats previews game and talks about Bediako returning

At some point backyard basketball finally catches up with you.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Do loafers show status?

No more than lollygaggers...

 

[BamaFan334]

Point made on the former. I wouldn't know about the latter. I'm a teacher. Most every male teacher wears Hokas or Nike. Our board members don't wear them.

I wore them to work yesterday. No status here.

Didn't mean as 100% fact. Stating every Tom, Dick, and Harry sitting courtside that works at the local bank, accounting firm, college administrator etc. It's not a new look and more a comment on our fans sitting on their hands.

Do loafers show status?

Do they have socks incorporated in the mix? That’s the tell, at least for me.

Good to hear Coleman get loud again!

 

[BamaFan334]

A hair off topic here, but how come we haven't worn a throwback uniform this year?

 

[bama alum]

Philon with an answer 3! BOOM!

 

[Rolltide24]

Wrightsell picked a great time to get back to form tonight. Glad to have him back looking more like himself.

 

[EasyTider]

tough ask for this one without Holloway & Allen. This team seems to be made of glass.

 

[bama alum]

Mallette wants that hard hat!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Rick Barnes is putting on a coaching clinic in the 2nd half vs Oats.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Mallette wants that hard hat!

He is playing hard. Unfortunately outside of him and Bediako, no one else plays defense. And even worse, they're not coached to play defense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Going to be yet another inexcusable loss at home. Really bad look when you bring in a guy from a professional league at 5 and still can't play defense. And then to lose at home to a team that has absolutely sucked dick on offense, yet lights you up.

Oats can't coach defense; Brian Adams sure as fuck can't. Garbage

 

[BamaFan334]

This will be the second time I've lost big betting with Alabama in the last two weeks. Shew weeee.

 

[EasyTider]

Hard to determine this team’s ceiling since we can’t go 7 days without someone hurt. We sure seem soft. Sweet 16 seems to be the bar at this point

 

[BamaFan334]

Geez, can't foul when we actually need to, but can on every other defensive possession.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

 

[Kamikazi18627]

This team is awful right now. Do we even run offensive plays??

 

[EasyTider]

Rick Barnes is Nate Oats daddy

 

[Rolltide24]

Went out with a whimper in this sleeper. That’s frustrating. Let a kid get his career high, that reminds me of a number of games last year.
