🏀 GAME THREAD 🏀 Alabama Bests #8 Illinois 90-86 in the United Center

[PurlJam]

Hell, we're playing the Serb-Croatian national team.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Come on Bama

 

[Bammerboy321]

Fuck guys you need to rebound

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon just getting cheap fouls when we get stops is not good. Dude needs to calm down.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Bristow seems like a really good one.

 

[Bammerboy321]

We need one good run before half.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Would they T up Brad Underwood already? I mean come on. Dude is living in the officials ear after every single call. Even blatantly obvious ones. Oats rides the officials too but not to this extreme.

 

[Secondand26]

Where are the officials from? And why are they hugging the Illinois coach?

 

[bama alum]

Bristow seems like a really good one.

Yeah, he is! First impression is a great impression!

Illinois has cooled off, and Bama is getting some rebounds. Probably should be winning right now, but that should come soon.

 

[bama alum]

Bol Bowen is playing very well so far.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good lord. Maybe shooting 3 threes from beyond NBA range isn't the playoffs? 3 offensive boards amd we come up empty

 

[Bammerboy321]

Bol Bowen is playing very well so far.

Yeah that was a nasty move to split the zone. He's hot and cold but his highs are very good.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Got to make freaking free throws guys. Ugh. We are killing ourselves right now.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Finally Holloway makes a three

 

[bama alum]

Holloway! BOOM! Get it going!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Of course these fucks can't miss from 3 now

 

[Bammerboy321]

Mallette with a huge 3!!! Only down 1!

 

[#80]

Better effort on the boards so far.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Going blow for blow with Illinois on 3s is elite.

Philon and Wrightsell need to step up. They have not played well since St Johns.

Really liking the athleticism and level of play from Allen... I know it's early in his 1st year, but it just doesn't look like that HS< ---->College gap is as big for him as it has been for some other high profile freshmen. He seems to get it... understands what Oats wants, and actually be able to do it as well. He looks like a 3rd year guy out there at times...
