🏀 Nate Oats Press Conference - Indiana State, plus Early Signing Period

[Bammerboy321]

Griffen fighting hards on the O boards. Love it.

 

[Bammerboy321]

We need Griffen badly to play at an elite level for this team to be a threat to win the SECT.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Holy shit Grant Nelson with a halfcourt shot

 

[Bammerboy321]

This defense is just remarkably awful. No one is even putting in effort to get a stop other than Nelson. Every guard has allowed blow bys.

 

[Bammerboy321]

It's not even a little bit contested either. Every possession Indiana State has had has looked like they should be scoring a basket.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nelson is taking over offensively. Defense is still awful. Oats better fix this shit before we get into the tougher games.

 

[Bammerboy321]

This is Gottfried level defense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Well Nelson and Indiana State being in foul trouble is saving us. This level of defense is unacceptable.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I don't know what Oats is going to do or say after this game, but we won't be in the tournament with this level of D.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Boom! Great screen by Wague and finish by Estrada.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Up 13. Let's see if we can get a stop. We need to go a run badly to finish this game out. There is a TON to work on.

Nelson and Estrada are playing monster games!

 

[Bammerboy321]

I mean our guys can bitch about the calls, but not being in position is killing them. Being out of position defensively is going to lead to more fouls called.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Nelson and Estrada are playing monster games!

They are. Estrada is definitely our best ball handler. He can create space and finish around the rim. Nelson definitely gets away with a few push offs, but he's creative in the post. If Griffen would turn it up a notch, this team could be special. Just need time to gel.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oh man great find by Estrada and great effort on running the floor by Wague

 

[bama alum]

That Estrada to Wague pass to go up 84 - 70...Yes sir!

 

[Bammerboy321]

SEARS FOR 3!!!!

 

[bama alum]

Looks like Bama's finally pulling away

 

[Bammerboy321]

Wague!!!

 

[Bammerboy321]

There we go. Finally got a few stops. Wague is going to find himself in starting position. He's been the only consistent player on D.
