🏀 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.

That was game 1 of a tough ass 4 game stretch, and Bama starts it off 1-0. To give an idea how tough the 4 game stretch is, earlier this week KenPom had Bama losing all 4 of them. Maybe UA ends up going 1-3 now, but IMO there are not too many teams in the country better than this Tide suad right now.

A couple of things that stood out today...

Bama only committed 7 turnovers. Amari Allen was +19. Wrightsell was +17. UA scored at least 50 in both halves, against a Pitino team... how often does that happen?

Roll Tide!

Taking their 2nd half punch without flinching was top drawer. That tells me this team has a great season ahead of it. We looked much faster on offense and defense moved well. Hit a little wall scoring and allowed them back in it, but any top tier team is gonna push you at some point. Great win.

Just imagine what the score would be if they had not called so many fouls.

Alabama 100% blows them out.

 

[Bama Guy]

Great game!! And the team was having fun and trusting each other. I like the team chemistry.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Would this be the biggest Bama has had? With Coach Oats?

I don't think so. On the road at Houston back in '23 was monumental. That game was a war.

Also Gonzaga in Seattle. But this is a top 3 OOC win for me.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Turnovers were reasonable.

I think at one point, Alabama had only 4 turnovers to Saint John's 8. Wrightsell, Holloway, and Philon are the exact type of elite guards you need to make a title run.

Mallette and Allen had a great game too. Both were so freaking active closing out blocks and creating second chance opportunities. Gonna love to rewatch this game because Allen had incredible on-ball D.

Alabama's got a damn good team. Ton of depth in the backcourt with a lot more length.

Seriously asking here, do people take betting advice from Outkick?

Where is Bethea going to fit in this offense? Kind of hard to imagine his role on the team.

Man alive, what a hell of a coach

What a great win for Bama!!

It definitely ranks. That final was a tie for the most points a Bama team has scored against a top-10 team in program history.

Seriously asking here, do people take betting advice from Outkick?

I tend to watch most give their opinions on spreads. I don't remember having read one from him. Didn't they have some partnership with one of the fantasy groups? DK, or FD, maybe?

A wild, purely idle, thought.

In basketball the defense allowed 1.12 per possession. If football yesterday, it was less than 1 per (11 drives, 9 points.)
