Few showed his coaching experience that last four minutes. That was a game well within reach for Alabama and he outcoached Oats to make it a double-digit lead. Happens. I don't think Alabama played particularly well to be honest. Gonzaga was really sloppy as well. But it's an early November game that'll pay dividends down the road.

I hope Bethea can really bring something to the table. I think we need another shooter to fill the role of Youngblood last year.

Bristow is definitely a baller. Only guy tonight that went above and beyond to grab boards.

He grabbed boards but he killed us on the offensive side. Missed I believe 5 shots within 2 feet of the basket in a row and some were uncontested.

20 offensive boards for the Zags and here I thought Purdue put on a offensive rebounding clinic with their 19. At least we know some things we need to work on, between rebounding and free throws.

“We're not a very tough, physical rebounding team right now. Until we get that way, we're gonna have a hard time consistently beating the best teams in the country."

Down the stretch they had the foreign guy and four others whose ages ran from 22-25.

This Tennessee v. Houston game should be good..........

Oats mentioned it would be tough to lure in some guys from Europe due to them already receiving money + our limited NIL situation (it isn't as bad as some say, but we need to improve). I hope Oats starts to utilize it with Chris Fleming's connections. Their wings are generally good shooters and good ball handlers. We need stronger guys around the rim though.

This Tennessee v. Houston game should be good..........

Houston hasn't looked impressive to me at all this season. But TN has yet to be challenged, so hopefully Houston wrecks them.

 

[Bammerboy321]

St Johns got a big win over Baylor today (96-81).

Illinois will play UConn this Friday

 

[Bammerboy321]

So far, Houston is up 39-35 on TN.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man these teams are giving max effort. TN is denying every bit of ball movement from Houston; and Houston denying any PnR action at the top of the key.

You have to appreciate Houston's effort to close out on jump shots too.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Houston is all out of sorts on offense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

This game is intense

 

[Bammerboy321]

One point game. Both teams trading blows

 

[Bammerboy321]

TN up 66-62 now

 

[Bammerboy321]

Fleming for Houston is just relentless. TN has been all over him every possession and he's still getting buckets.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Houston really needs a stop on D. Down 2 with 28.4 left.

 

[Rolltide24]

One thing impressive about Tennessee is they scored on every single possession from the 3:20 to go mark on. Made 9-10 free throws in that span and missed only 1 FG but put the shot back in. That is clutch.

Beautiful hate watch going on between Michigan and auburn.
