Anytime you go to Rupp, it’s going to be tough. If we play like we did against OM, UK will win by 25.

We gotta come ready. UK is well coached and they are deep. One thing that bodes well for us is they haven't really rebounded well or forced turnovers, something Ole Miss abused us in.

But like @alabama mike said - if we have the same energy as we did vs Ole Miss, we'll get blown out.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Really hope to see more lineups with just Philon and Holloway in. Not to say don't play Sears a lot, but we really look a lot more fluid on offense with just them in. Hopefully Reid is good to go too.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oats said last three or four weeks where they're focusing on turnovers. Didn't show up vs Ole Miss (effort issue) but I really hope he puts an emphasis going forward in limiting turnovers and a lot less dribbling. The freedom with a 5-out offense is incredible, but man I really do wish he'd tweak it just a little with dribble-less basketball. I think it'd really help with turnovers and being able to fix our issues in transition.

Another a$$ whipping coming. Please lower your expectations unless you like supporting the local liquor store... My advice (I know you didn't ask) don't watch until tournament time. That's all that matters anyway.

What a dumb take.

 

[footballer]

Some of our players seem so arrogant, that they can dribble in around several defenders, ( who play better defense than them ) as if they are a member of the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Then just give the ball away. Can be frustrating to watch.

How was that a foul earlier on Holloway? Just called us for an over the back and then they jump on Aidan's back and he gets called for a foul?

Jay Bilas's ice cream or Bama's three-point shooting...Which one's colder? Still, a pretty good half for Bama.

Survived a really long drought from 3 point land. All in all a good 1st half but only a 2 point lead. With 3 point shooting struggles, going to need to continue to get offensive boards.

Nelson playing "possessed" in the first half. Where the hell was this team against Ole Miss?

Personally, I like Manny's Liquor Mart.

I can only attribute it to the aura of playing Kentucky at Rupp. Went cold from three, but the boys are playing hard and pretty well.

 

[bamafan4ever]

That common foul call was horseshit. He about ripped Sears head off and banged his head off his damn knee.

 

[bama alum]

How in the hell is that a foul on Holloway?!? Even that know-it-all Bilas that was BS.

 

[bama alum]

Nelson may not be scoring much in the second half, but he's drawing fouls. Great hustle! Stevenson has been hustling a lot today, too. Those hard hats have kicked his game into different gear.

 

[bama alum]

Threes are heating up!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon needs to man up on some of these drives

 

[Bammerboy321]

Sears doing a really good job facilitating
