This will be the first trip the Longhorns make to Tuscaloosa since 1970.

Just when I'm starting to get used to the idea that Texas is a part of the SEC I read this and it just doesn't read right. I know it's true; but it strikes me as, well, odd. I was three years old.

I did see the score; Bama won fairly decisively, 90-78.

We've talked about injuries a lot because there have been a lot. Hearing Oats talk about Wrightsell? Geez. Achilles, then the other, the finger, pulled groin muscle...

Did you guys realize we've only seen two Bama players in every game this season and both are role players?

The last time I looked Bama was giving 12.5

In case you missed this it's Karl Ravech and Jimmy Dykes on the call. If I were on the court and heard Dykes say "...and the Roll Tide goes ..." I would throw the ball and hit him in the nose. I would apologize while handing him a towel for the bleed (covered in Biofreeze.)

I'll listen to State @ Kentucky with Hendrix on PBP tonight.

Philon listed as probable.

Texas played UConn fairly close. Sean Miller is still good coach, so he can put together a good plan to make this game interesting. But Alabama can definitely win by double digits if they are playing well. The high turnovers vs Vandy really worried me. Hopefully we see the same effort on the boards as we saw vs Vandy. I think Oats has found a way to alleviate the rebounding issues with Allen and Jemison.

Texas played UConn fairly close.

How much weight does a close road loss to UCONN mean when you lose to State at home as a double digit favorite?

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

Got to win the home games and steal some road wins. Hopefully Nate can get this team healthy and improving each time out. It's like we're hung up in neutral.

Any news if Sherrill will play tonight? Hoping our young men come ready to play and entire game.

All I've heard on Hannah is "medical condition."
Collins is his heart.
Wrightsell his Achilles (and others.)
Sherrell the knee.
Philon is that cramping thing (which is still weird.)

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama's defense is nonexistent so far

 

[Bammerboy321]

Almost had a near turnover. I think that was London Jemison who nearly forced that. Unfortunately lead to an open 3 but it was really great effort by Jemison.

 

[Bammerboy321]

That is just really poor defense by Bristow there. And leads to an and-one

 

[Bammerboy321]

This defense is so fucking bad. That's like six straight buckets given up.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Make that seven straight baskets given up. How long is this going to go on until we admit Brian Adams fucking sucks as a coach?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Seriously, the effort is there. And the guys look visibly upset when the opposition scores or goes on a run. They're simply not coached well on defense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon playing pretty bad right now. Horrible turnover

 

[Bammerboy321]

Holloway is saving us

 

[Bammerboy321]

Wow nice shot to end the half.

 

[bama alum]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! What a way to end the half!!
