. This game should have been over a while back. Nine missed FTs and all fifteen missed threes in the second half. Right now, Will Wade's temper tantrum is the lead Bama's clinging to.
0-15 from 3 in the 2nd half. I'll take the Win even though it wasn't really deserved...
If Oats held the same accountability for Shack as he does for Miles, we'd likely see Shack's minutes drop dramatically. He is a very frustrating player, but he's best player capable of getting hot.
Just me probably, but I think we'll be better off with Rylan Griffen. I'll always appreciate Shack for his effort though.n
Shwew, a close one that shouldn't have been. Vegas knows man, I tell you what.
Are these guys allowed to wear receiver gloves? Bediako needs a pair if they can. Deep down I feel sorry for him, because every time he makes a mistake I see it in his face that he is inexperienced and seriously unsure of what happened. He's gonna be alright as time goes on. He looks as if he cares.
0% from three in the 2nd half is a tough one to swallow. Zero clue how an entire team can go cold so much over the last half month.
We gotta keep fighting and quit being stupid with the ball. Could have won by twenty, but just can't seem to get over the mental hump of how to close. Either way, good win against a Top 15 team, and beating LSU and that ass wipe coach of theirs is always beautiful.

It's just not his game yet. He needs a year another year to develop his jump shot. Also to get better defensively
Regardless of poor shooting again, another quality win and that makes it five in a row over the swamp rats.
How the heck did we win that game? I missed it. We had 3 starters total 10 points. Shot 20% from arc and 34% from 2. Plain awful! 65% free throws. We put up 95 shots and 32 free throws. That’s a bunch of shots.
Won the boards which surprises me and Shack must have heard our criticism. Big win! Just don’t understand how we pulled that off.

Defense and effort. If they bring that it will turn those close losses into close wins. They had numerous stops and even had several offensive rebounds. Muuuuch improvement in that part of the game.
He missed a straight up uncontested 2 hand dunk to start the game. How does that happen? Anyway I get your point and I guess you just have to chalk this up to freshman growing pains.

Head Coach Nate Oats Postgame Comments
"That was a big win. We needed to get back on a winning streak. Three losses in a row were enough. We didn't play particularly well, especially on the offensive end. We couldn't make shots, went 0-of-15 from three in the second half and couldn't make free throws late. Our guys fought and battled all night. You've got to give a ton of credit to our guys for figuring out a way to get a win when it wasn't our best game on the offensive end. I like where our attitude was leading up to the game. I thought we played a lot harder. If we give that effort and we start making shots like we are capable of, then we can get this thing back to where we had it in early December."Team Stats
