Miller needs to show up.

We better get things straighten out at halftime. We can complain about the refs but SDSU out played Bama the first half. Nothing can be done about the refs just have to play through it. SDSU is a good team but not great. However, we’re making them look great. 1 for 11 on 3’s. When the 3’s are not falling we struggle.

We've had 7 open 3 point looks so far, we're 1/7 from 3 points with nobody within reach. That's normally our bread and butter, so it's not exactly their defense holding us to late, we're just not hitting the open shots we're getting.

You see this a lot of times in games like these, a team gets into a new building like this and they just aren't getting shots to fall. That's essentially what's happening. We need to get some shots to fall to build confidence.

Sears especially has been pathetic.

Sears has been pathetic for some time now.

Is all that yours?

One outside
Cool one's inside

 

[Bammerboy321]

What's ridiculous is the turnovers haven't even been forced. Quinerly and Miller both just gave the ball up. It makes no sense.

Guard play will determine if we win or lose this game.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

This team's been down at half in hostile territory.
Can make a big run

 

[bamafan9201]

I will say, CNO is good at getting these guys fixed at half-time. We're only down 5, if we fix our shooting we can easily catch-up and pass them. We just need to hit the open looks and stop trying highly contested layups.

No need to blame officials.

You can't deny it's been weird on occasion.

Define weird I think it's been called fairly many on this board want to blame the officials when things don't go our way or we play poorly.
We are getting out played plain and simple.

 

[TerryP]

Define weird I

I don't think they know how to call it yet. We're not seeing consistency, we're seeing anticipation calls.

Couple of those fouls were questionable at best, some definite no calls when SDSU is on defense. Pretty obvious man, don't think they're out to screw us personally but they're definitely not making some obvious calls while calling some ticky-tack stuff against us.

I am out of pocket and only able to see bits and pieces. You guys need to pull them through!!!!

 

[bamanc50]

We are about to find out if Bama is a championship team. The best player on the floor Brandon Miller needs to step up. If he thinks this is tough he’s going to get a rude awakening next year in the NBA. I will be really surprised if we don’t see a different team this second half. IMO if we can get a 12 to 15 point lead they will fold. RTR

Hoping for a better performance in the 2nd half.

Big players make big plays in big games and so far we have not had that this game from Miller and Q.

Nine fouls called on us 8 called on SDSU. They were more physical than us in the first half. Hopefully CNO can light a fire and push the right buttons or we are going home. Miller needs to be a man.

 

[alabama mike]

Horrible shot by Miller.

Both teams same # of fouls and about the same # of no calls from what I've seen.

 

[alabama mike]

And that’s a 3 ball by Miller. Nice!
