Lot of freshman playing time right now. Allen, Jamison, and Hannah on the floor. Bristow out there doing a good job.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Loving rhe effort on D so far. Gotta stop turning it over. But so far, Alabama's effort is noticeably better than UNLVs

 

[Bammerboy321]

Holloway and Philon's chemistry together is so fun to watch

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

It'll be another late night tip tomorrow night....

For those waiting up...

This is biggoted.

Here I am enjoying just waking up, having my cuppa, and watching Bama basketball...

Here I am waking up, having a cup of coffee, and hearing how Kim Kardashian likes dark meat at Thanksgiving.

Another shot at Buzz

What a shit call on Holloway.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good first half. Seems like we're overwhelming them with our talent and size. Houston Mallette doesn't need to put the ball on the floor. Allen really favors driving to his right. Not an elite ball handler yet.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nice opening set.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I don't know what Holloway does on defense sometimes. There was no need to fall back to the paint and leave his man wide open.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Our defense is way too susceptible to baseline cuts. UNLV missed it thankfully but Sherrell needs to stop ball watching.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon struggles way too much at the FT line

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man what a freaking play by Jemison.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Noah Williamson is fucking garbage

 

[Bammerboy321]

What the absolute fuck is Noah Williamson doing on this team.

 

[Bammerboy321]

London Jemison looks like Herb Jones in his first year under Oats. Dude is going to be a star.

I'm not a basketball expert by any means. I just watch it religiously. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'd be interested in hearing others opinion on it too.

Some of it's fixable. We're not really outsized either. We have a much better wingspan and length this season compared to last year. Sometimes it's an effort thing. Bristow came in yesterday and snagged 11 boards in nearly 20 minutes of play. Compare that to Bol Bowen had four in 14. Bol Bowen against Saint Johns? One shy of a double-double. He just lacks consistency and also doesn't have the strongest hands. Multiple times it looked like he was coming down the ball, for it to be poked out by Ike or Huff. Have to put both hands on the ball. Physically too, we rarely box out and get out of position underneath to allow the second chance opportunity. This is where Sherrell struggled (he did better than Gonzaga than against Purdue). He's just physical or athletic enough. Neither is Williamson.

I think our guards actually do a good job crashing the glass. Holloway is undersized but yet he actually was seen going after multiple loose balls last night. Two went off his hands unfortunately. Allen, Mallete, and Hannah (why did he only gett four minutes yesterday?) are consistent in their effort when crashing the glass.

Another thing we do too I notice is ball watch and not worry about their man. Kills any chance we have when you lose the guy you're on.

I think we lack a physical presence under the rim. Size, but no strength or aggressiveness. Everything else is fixable.

Man Philon is doing some really dumb shit lately

 

[Bammerboy321]

What a game for Jemison

 

[Bammerboy321]

Why are they so dead set on giving the worst camera angles known to man. Just stick with the normal camera angle. Stop this corner view shit
