🏀 🏀 No. 1/1 Alabama Upended by No. 10/11 Tennessee, 68-59

I mean, Quinerly costing the game with a ton of turnovers I saw. Behind the back in the lane when you need a three? Come on dude, you're a senior.

We seem to have quite a few low basketball IQ guys on the floor. No sense of urgency.

Exactly. That schoolyard crap won't cut it against the #1 defense on their home court, even if it is UT.

I hope the Upuke fans start chanting :over rated.....maybe it will sting.

When Bama struggles it is either FT issues or turnovers. Tonight turnovers and the referees letting the maul Bradley and not call fouls.

 

[SnakeDoc]

Not sure why I'm still watching. This one is over-down 6 with 19.4 left.

Hard to win on the road but still that was a pretty sad performance. This team is much better than how they played tonight. Oh and Quinerly had been doing so much better and then just like that the old turnover machine showed back up.

 

[SnakeDoc]

And then the stupid spin crap at the end.

One glaring stat. 9 for 23 on 3’s. This team when not making 3’s just keep on throwing it up. For the most part Tennessee shut down the 3’s but CNO just lets them keep jacking them up.

That three point percentage is actually not far off from their average. I want to say they make about 10 per game. Difference was the turnovers.

Its tough to go on road and win big in sec.....
But they hung tough....got close but ....Turnovers ...over and over....

Some really shit officiating ....as is sec standard...
What makes other road game wins more impressive...

Just hope we get tennessee in sec tournament...on neutral floor

And, 14 less 2 point shots than average. With the average number of shots per game and tonight's FG%, you get an extra 5 points. That's a whole different game at the end if it's a one possession game.

19 turnovers are why we lost. Everything else was pretty decent.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Other than the 19 turnovers we played well, but my god the turnovers

They really didnt play well at all...that just includes TOs
Period

 

[It Takes Eleven]

This definitely was building, hopefully the next wake up call lasts us through the tourneys.

I thought at least two of those charging calls were bogus, but we still have to put the ball in the hoop.

Same with at least two of those blocking calls.

 

[UAgrad93]

Can’t play that loose with the ball and expect a W! Viles are good defensively and pretty much unbeatable when they make it a “bar fight” and officials are more than happy to call it like that! #33 should’ve been sent to the locker room early when he took that cheap shot on JQ AFTER a foul had already been called! Jay Bilas isn’t a BAMA fan and he even questioned some of the fouls called on BAMA. What may be Oats biggest fault as a coach is an unwillingness to change our style of play when officiating dictates such.

 

[bamafan9201]

26 points off 19 turnovers. Go back to what we were doing by getting around 9-10 turnovers and we would've been leading much earlier in the game with a chance to run away with it late.
