🏀 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.

It's like a 47-17 run for Alabama right now. Up 62-48. Alabama just needs a big 10-0 run to break their spirits.

And there is that atrocious transition D we have seen all year from Alabama. Just four Alabama players sitting around not doing anything, which leads to another and-one. By the way, Alabama is one of the worst teams in the country in preventing and-one opportunities. It's like they're coached to be soft around the rim and pick up soft fouls. I don't get it. If you're going to foul, foul hard.

So sick and tired of continuously watching piss poor defense. Some of this is high school level shit.

Also that pass by Bethea to Sherrell was perfect. Sherrell is god awful at dunking the ball.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Boom big 3

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man come on ref. How are you calling such a cheap ass foul there when he lost the ball. Unbelievable. We can never pick up officials like this in Coleman

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon with 25 points. Dude can easily get to 40 tonight

 

[Bammerboy321]

God dang what a rebound by Sherrell

 

[Bammerboy321]

Bro you cannot breathe on a State player

 

[Bammerboy321]

As much shit as Williamson deserves, he's actually high pointing the ball and snagging big boards. Also passing well.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Come on Bama. Just a 5-0 run and break open a 20-point lead

 

[Bammerboy321]

BOOOOM 333333

 

[Bammerboy321]

Holy fucking shit Philon is on another level than these dudes

 

[Bammerboy321]

Like it's not just his ability to find the soft spot in the defense. His vision and ability to facilitate is unreal. When he is locked in like this, Alabama is Elite 8/Final Four potential. When he's not, Alabama's potential is not that high. He has to get consistent like this.

 

[Bammerboy321]

OH COME THE FUCK ON REF! ALLEN HAD A CLEAN STEAL. SWALLOW THE WHISTLE

 

[Bammerboy321]

MALLETTE WITH THE BIG 333333

 

[Bammerboy321]

Kind of wild that turned into a 3. Mallette cut from the baseline for an easy two, but just didn't go up for the basket.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good drive by Bethea

 

[Bammerboy321]

Game has turned for the better but still a TON of issues to work on. Perimeter defense is nonexistent. State has missed a ton of open looks. Transition defense again is just so bad. I legit have never seen a team so disinterested in getting back. Rebounding has been 50/50. Sherrell has had some tough ones, but then has two straight possessions where he gives zero effort. Consistency on this team just seems to be a problem, unless your name is Allen or Jemison.

Lot of positives though. Down 29-15 and I think Alabama went on a 47-17 run. Once Alabama settled in, guys like Holloway, Allen, and Philon started to realize that their guards cannot stay in front of them. Passing and spacing is phenomenal tonight.

Need to be a little better finishing the game out here. Seems rather lackluster finishing here at the end of this game.

 

[Bammerboy321]

See right there - Sherrell gave up two o boards in one possession. Just lacks the fire you want out of your 5. He brings it when he can but someone needs to bring that dawg out of him.
