Tennessee fans are such a bunch of gobbers.

We were -17 on the glass 3 pt line +6 for the game and TO's were the difference we only had 2 TO's in the second half.

Front line needs some help hope Bristow can make it back.

Unless something changes with plans, he's going for a redshirt.

I guess I needed to read the thread all the way! The way it was going Bama was behind 10 or more points. I'm been busy today and I miss all the games today.

Yeah I read he might we really need front line help.

I unfortunately missed most of the second half. Naturally it's our (second) best finish of the season. Go figure.

God oh mighty I am happy we broke that horrible streak.

If you have time to look at social media, TN fans are having a colossal meltdown about officiating. It is hilarious.

Can't say I am surprise Barnes has Oats number. Going to have to find a way to shoot their way out of the poor board play. Offensively they have the fire power but not sure as well as Barnes teams defend the 3.

He and his boys didn't quit like many of the fans did.

I knew offenstively they could BUT Bama was playing so POORLY on the boards and Viles were defending the 3 it was hard to see them finding a way. The offense Bama has means they are never completely out of a game which is why I made the comment I made. Good thing Philon was able to take over down the stretch.

The Philon that some were implying needed to play less?

You referring to people talking about how well the team played w/o him against MSU?

Dang, messed around and forgot about the game. Missed the first half and 6 mins of the second half. team played valiantly the part I watched.
BIG WIN. Finally got that Tenn monkey off their back, hopefully for a long time to come.

May have been a different outcome if Ament had not have gotten hurt.

I’m talking about people implying that he keeps the ball too much & pretty much implying that he needs to have a reduced role

I've heard people wonder aloud this week if Bama was better off without him. Passink even referenced it after the game... laughed at the notion.

In fairness, it had happened at times when Alabama would be at a big deficit (vs Arkansas, down 14) and in other games. Also Holloway has been playing at an elite level as the primary ball handler. The offense can go through Philon, even with him playing more offball. I'm still of that opinion that Holloway could lead at point. Just have to ensure Philon gets the share of the rock because he is our best slasher.

Alabama thankfully has a luxury of multiple guys with good handles. It creates mismatches and opportunities for more blow bys without having to have a high ball screen.

True, but you have to admit- there’s a certain segment of the fan base that has a VERY quick trigger finger when it comes to shitcanning (and shitting on) Bama players!
