Tough rebound by Grant. Didn't box out but out muscled his guy.

Jesus Stevenson that's just bad defense

Better that time around

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nice Philon

 

[Bammerboy321]

Better that time around

Much better. Slipped on the court and still made a good switch.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Sears ball hogged that entire possession. Not the worst shot clock violation but he needs to pass the ball up.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Sears makes up for it with great on ball D. Turnover goes to Alabama. 34 seconds left, Alabama up 8.

 

[bama alum]

Sears ignored the shot clock, but his defense made up for it. Killed ten seconds, too.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama's going to win 72-64. Ugly ass win. This team has a shit ton to work on. Offensively and defensively. Oats cannot be happy.

 

[bama alum]

Eight-point win...they were up by 21. Lotta teaching moments for Oats.

 

[Bammerboy321]

There's not a lot of games you're going to see Alabama go on a 8-minute scoring drought, but if you watched this one, you would see why. Not a lot of ball movement, no cuts to the basket, and no sense of urgency in the second half. I counted 12 of the last 15 possessions, the shot clock went under 10 seconds. Which is fine, but not your typical Oats offense. Ton of second chance opportunities to McNeese State when we were up 21. Complacency set in, similar to how it did vs Arkansas State. Just ugly, ugly wins right now. Team cannot play like this against Purdue.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Really hate that Youngblood is injured. Experienced quick guard like that, you want him on the court when momentum looks like it'd about to shift.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I'll say this - defense was not bad until the last seven minutes of the game. I'd be interested in seeing the +/- from the start to the end.

Quality win though. McNeese won 30 games last year. But their comeback had a lot to do with Alabama not playing good on offense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Reid, Holloway, and Stevenson combined went 1-13 from beyond the arc. Really just Holloway and Stevenson combined, they went 0-10.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Wade's going to talk up this loss because he has too. But at the same time, we gotta realize this team has a shit of talent and needs time to gel. Can't wait too long for that though since the next stretch of games is the toughest in the country.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

 

[Bammerboy321]

Yeah Nate's not happy. Pointed out the ball didn't move around enough and we got too late in the shot clock. That's not his offense at all. Players have to play with a sense of urgency.

 

[Bammerboy321]

+16 for Stevenson. Would not have thought that watching the game, but he did fairly well. Just got to hit open shots. Holloway is volume shooter, so you have to take his slumps as they come. He'll have games where he can't miss; others where he can't hit. Stevenson could be a more consistent inside the arc. Was hoping to see a bigger jump from him inside the paint.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Love Oats tracking his own internal scoreboard. Basically broke down the four-minute marks in the game and how we lost from the 14-minute mark til the end of the game. Guy is going to get these guys to practice hard this week to fix it.

He's 100% correct though. Got up 21 and then just lost in every way possible. Defensive intensity fell off; blue collar points, they lost; quality of shots were bad; and the offense was not free flowing.

Lot to fix with this team. Not playing like the #2 team in the country. They'll get it fixed though.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Reid working on his shot after the game

 

[Bammerboy321]

This right here. This team is right up there with some of Wimp's and Oats most talented squads. But you have to come in with the mentality that you ain't all that, so you better work. Once they get that junkyard dog mentality like we saw in the tournament, look out.
