🏀 GAME THREAD 🏀 2025-26 Season Archived Game Threads.

I got curious. There's no ML on the game tonight. Bama is -32.5.

I noticed a parlay on ESPNBet that has the total tonight at Over 168.5 with a few other legs.

What's a little crazy is you can find some BIG money lines tonight. You might look at Vandy playing Lipscomb and see -20,000. Okay, right? But then you look at Bethune-Cookman...who is playing Auburn with that ML at -100,000. Geez.

And yet again, no stop. Either Texas makes a shot or we foul. This is what? The fifth straight possession that has ended like this?

 

[Bammerboy321]

One point game. Bol Bowen hits a big 3. Let's see what defense brings out to get a stop.

 

[BamaFan334]

We outta be up ten if we could hit a free throw.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Stupid as fuck by Philon

 

[Bammerboy321]

No set play called by Oats whatsoever there. That is such a dumb ass coaching decision late in the game. What the fuck is going on with this staff

 

[Bammerboy321]

Lol the play call is a Holloway 2 when we're down 3. Idiotic coaching again

 

[BamaFan334]

Why we going for a layup down three with 17 seconds left?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oats has done an absolute shit coaching job tonight.

Yea, not a top 25 team. Something seems of this year about this team, injuries are rough, no true physical presence anywhere. Sporadic shooting, poor decisions in critical moments. Gonna need to do some soul searching the next few days and figure it out on the road or we'll be looking at even worse here soon.

 

[Bammerboy321]

What a horrendous loss at home. I see a soft ass team that isn't coached well on defense and is only good when they shoot decent from 3. Since the second half of Arizona, Oats has some an absolute shit job of coaching. Brian Adams is a fucking roasted dog turd of a defensive coach.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Oats should probably stop talking publicly about winning the SEC for now and worry more about winning games.

I said the Vandy loss didn’t bother me much, but tonight was embarrassing. Especially, coming off that loss.

We look a lot like the football team. Lazy and just watching the ball rather than being active. Bad passes, bad defense, and foul a lot.

Our athletic program has been humbled the last couple of years. So much ability everywhere and we keep falling short of our abilities. Track and Field holding it down. Girls Soccer playing well, Gymnastics may be back. Everything else that really made us Alabama (football, basketball, baseball, and softball) has been underwhelming.

 

[Bammerboy321]

You'd hope Philon or Holloway would have been able to step up there, but nope. All they did was miss open 3s and miss critical FTs. Then Oats stupidly calls no set plays whatsoever when we have a chance to tie/take the lead. Just let guys freely do whatever and take low percentage shots.

Inexcusable loss at home against a dog shit Texas squad. But hey, we beat a overrated St Johns team, lucked out against Clemson at home after imploding for most of the second half, and somehow beat a decent Illinois team. This team looks like the typical squad that will get upset in the first around of the NCAAT. No defense; no rebounding; questionable coaching.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oats is the best coach in Alabama history. I love the dude to death and I'll always defend him. Tonight was reminiscent of an Avery/Grant loss.

 

[footballer]

Too many inconsistencies in many of our players. Tx defended us better than we defended them. Some of our players seem to sleepwalk through parts of the game.

It looks as though we practice a lot on defensive switching. Instead of just manning up and staying between your man and the goal.

Also, basketball IQ and awareness go hand in hand. We end up out of position defending and for rebounding often. and often can't defend underneath without fouling.

Oh well, so it goes.

The tougher team won tonight. I said earlier this year this team is soft Allen is the only dog with have. This team was pushed around at home they were out hustled and -10 rebounding. They were man handled in the lane trying to rebound on FT shots. Missed FT's late killed. If this play continues they will finish middle of the pack in the conference. SMDH.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

Our last offensive possession, the one after the timeout…….


Uh. That was complete tomfoolery. Down 3, no time outs, 18 seconds left and you drive in the paint? Gotta hold that ball and get the last shot up from three to tie and try and luck out in overtime.


The last five minutes of that game were a complete meltdown of miscues and awful choices.

Is a win over Bama still a quadrant 1 win? I haven’t looked up how those work.
