Come on Bama. Stretch this out to 20.

 

[Bammerboy321]

These officials are terrible

Sears looks uninspiried and pedestrian right now. I think we need him to work through that but it's honestly hurting the team chemistry right now.

 

[Bammerboy321]

And now it's a 9 point deficit.

 

[Bammerboy321]

What the fuck is going on with Sears? These turnovers are middle school. Four points away from literally a 20 point game and it's now a 9 point game. No one even attempted to defend that last 3.

And once again, second chance opportunities. Like holy shit Oats. When will you ever teach your players to box out?

Bonehead decision for CNO to leave CO in with 3 fouls getting killed at the rim now.

I don't know for sure, but he may be playing with an illness tonight. I know some stuff has been going around the team this week.

Nice Wrightsell

 

[Bammerboy321]

And once again another man lost on a switch leads to an open 3.

 

[#80]

Sears started pressing when nothing went in early.

Did our offense change? I've noticed we're not using any step back 3s and we're generally hesitant when we have a beat to shoot a 3. I'm just noticing this in the last few games we've just been hesitant to pull the trigger and it just doesn't look like our offense from last year.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I mean it's way too early in the season to say this, but this D has way too much talent and length to look as bad as they have this season. I don't know if it's all on the players either. The coaches need to teach these guys some fundamentals on that side of the ball.

Think it's just some players not getting in their groove yet. The spacing has been better tonight and they're firing off from beyond the arc. But some of the players just don't have the confidence yet on their jump shot and are relying on just driving.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Philon, Holloway, and Nelson have been excellent so far. Sears needs to see a shot go down in bad way.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oh man great pass by Nelson to Reid for the and-one

 

[Bammerboy321]

Offense has picked it up

 

[footballer]

Has Sears boarded the hype train?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Brad Underwood looks like he could unlock that jaw and down a mountain dew in light speed.

 

[Bammerboy321]

D played much better the last few possessions. Cranked up the coverage and play better on ball. You could see Oats animated on the sideline. Guy challenged them.

 

[bamafan9201]

Everytime we look like we're about to pull away we make a dumb offensive mistake and a ticky tack foul gives them a few extra points.
