Awful, awful shot by Philon. Just awful

 

[Bammerboy321]

Starting to foul Purdue a lot

 

[Bammerboy321]

Sherrell outmuscled again for a rebound.....

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man can we please go on one 10-0 run

 

[Bammerboy321]

What the fuck did Oats see in Noah Williamson

 

[Bammerboy321]

There is no way someone like Williamson should be D1

There is no way someone like Williamson should be D1

To say he struggles is an understatement.

Man the last two shots by Jemison are rough, I know he's open but he does not sstroke it from 3 they are leaving him open for a reason.

 

[bamafan9201]

Also referees taking over right now, my goodness Philon shoudl've had and 1 there and then they hit us for one on the other end that was a light touch...jeeeeeeez some weird officiating

 

[alabama mike]

I love these games against quality competition. Purdue is always tough, play excellent defense and have shooters. We just need to keep working hard tonight and make plays.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Let's go big 3

 

[bamafan9201]

Purdue late in the shot clock out of control has gotten 3 fouls to bail them out of each situation. Each foul has led to points, maybe don't reward them for waiting for the last second to throw up a prayer? lol

 

[Bammerboy321]

Noah is hot garbage. Bristow has to get healthy to bench this dude

 

[Bammerboy321]

About to catch a flight, so I'll miss the ending. Hopefully the Tide wins. Oats needs to boot Noah off of the orbit.

 

[alabama mike]

Man Purdue is solid. Thankful CNO schedules tough, non conference games. It shows him early in the season what needs to be worked on.

Be safe

We also shoot a lot more outside shots than our opponents.

It's just an interesting stat to look at, we're getting called for all these ticky tack rebounding and off the ball stuff lol.

 

[alabama mike]

Come on men, lock down on defense.
