🏀 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.

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

Philon with an answer 3! BOOM!

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

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

Mallette wants that hard hat!

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

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.

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.

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.

Before anyone chimes in on the defense, the offense had one 3 pointer in the last 5:46 of the game and 0 2 pointers. The offense before that point? 1 2 pointer in 4 minutes. So in almost 10 minutes, we had 1 2 point basket and 1 3 point basket for the final 10 minutes of the game. Just horrible team play, nobody outside of Philon capable of creating. UT fixed the Bediako screen action and then we had no answer anywhere on the floor afterwards.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Another inexcusable loss at home, and it really was due to poor coaching. Just unbelievable. Loss at home to Texas, got blown out by Arizona; allowed Gonzaga to pull away due to to no self awareness of momentum changes; inexcusable loss to Texas at home; and then fall flat on your face vs TN again, despite picking up a professional player at 5.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

A complete whiff on the portal class. Zero improvement on defense. And more injuries than the Vietnam tunnel rats. Not a great recipe.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

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

I mean, our coaches had to get after our guys to foul when we are down two possessions with less than 15 seconds left.


You gotta foul and try and extend the game.


That and we are jack it up state in terms of offense. Lane closed? Throw it up 8 feet behind the three point line……iT mAkEs MoRe SeNeSe…… Not one guy will take their damn dribble to the hole and just try to draw a foul.

Down 61-60, Bama missed 12 of their next 14 shots. Vols left the door open and Bama didn't take advantage.
