Nice swat from Bowen!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Bol Bowen has found that dawg in him

Is Bama fouls that must?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Been impressed overall with our defense and rebounding. Having a little trouble with our shot selection when you are up 36-29 and we take 3 straight very bad shots and SJ goes ahead by one. I was not a Philon fan last year and so far this year I’m still not.

Sherrill with the 3!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon!

 

[Bammerboy321]

BOOOM HOLLOWAY

 

[bama alum]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! That extra passsss...3!!! Great way to end the half!

 

[rick4bama]

Now keep it up and come away with the win!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama definitely has elite guard play from Philon, Holloway, and Wrightsell. Amari Allen has played well too. So we're showing depth at guard.

Inside, Bowen seems to have answered the challenge. Would like for him to be more aggressive on D but he's been attacking the glass on offense and had some really nice moves to the basket.

Alabama's biggest issues are going to be discipline on D (bad fouls) and not having a very good 5. Williamson and Sherrell both play hard but just do not have the quickness or athleticism to be a major factor.

This might be one of the most lopsided officiating crews I've seen in a while they're borderline trying to force fouls against Bama...11 fouls more for Bama just as soon as the 2nd half tipped off is an insane number

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good sell by Mallette

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama quits fouling, they'll run away with it

 

[bamafan9201]

Does anyone have a stream of this? I only have watch espn right now so can't watch all the basketball ones

 

[Bammerboy321]

What a pass by Holloway

 

[Bammerboy321]

Awful transition D

 

[Bammerboy321]

AND ONE PHILON!!!!!!
