🏀 No. 10/7 Alabama Suffers First SEC Loss, Falling at No. 18/17 Missouri, 68-65

Not trying to pile on here, but this is why I don't see a #1 seed. We have struggled for the last three weeks.

If Missouri can do what they did in the first half, then we can do it in the second half. I hope we come out with our hair on fire. Come on biys, make it respectable.

1st half....Can’t hit 3’s. Can’t make a layup. Can’t get a rebound. Can’t hit. FT. Missouri kicking their butts and making them look like a 16 seed in tournament.

Defense played a bit better late in the half, but taking way too many bad shots on offense. Petty has been bad. Had a good chance to cut to to single digits before the half and blew it. Bama is 4-9 on FT's, with too many misses on the front end of 1 and 1's. Points in the paint? Bama with 10. Mizzou with 32. Bama had 4 second chance points in the first minute of the game. Zero since then. The Tide with 8 turnovers (felt like more) and just 3 assists (felt like less).

Very tentative overall. Defense will need to turn up to 11 in second half and going to have to get a big shot of confidence or this one will be over in first 5 minutes of second half

If Bama is a one seed, then CBB is in trouble.

I’m just excited at the prospect of actually playing in the NCAA tournament and not the NIT tournament for the first time in a few years. If we get the right match ups we could win a game or two, but come on, a one seed??!

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Hopefully the halftime adjustments include threatening Reese or Rojas if they shoot another 3 and bringing in a shaman to cleanse the dark spirits from Quinerly's game.

I am 5' 9" and was the worst basketball player in P.E. classes. I hated the game. I have watched a few Bama BB games recently because of their newfound success. However, the team I see today and against Oklahoma reminds me of the ones I have seen over the years. Has someone gotten hurt to cause this regression, or have they just been reading their newspaper clippings?

 

[bama alum]

I swear! Watching Reese shoot 3's...or anything is like watching Bama pre-2020 kick FGs.

 

[bamafan4ever]

Painful....

 

[bamanc50]

If there were adjustments made at half, they are not working. This is pitiful.

 

[bamanc50]

Rojis missed 3 FT’s in a row. Unbelievable

 

[mando]

Now all of a sudden Jones can't defend w/o getting a fouled called.

 

[252BAMA]

Rojas must have attended the Leon Douglas School of Free Throw Shooting.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Petty passes out of an open dunk/layup. So frustrating.

 

[252BAMA]

Now all of a sudden Jones can't defend w/o getting a fouled called.

Been that way for at least three games. He had three at OU that even the announcers said were not fouls. On one he took a karate chop to the nose and left bleeding.

 

[mando]

Team is letting the offensive struggles effect other parts of their game. Not saying Mizzou is not contributing but effort and hitting free throws should not be effected. Maybe taking care of the ball is impacted some by Mizzou but not all of it.

 

[PurlJam]

We are definitely not an 11a.m. road team. I remember those hangover days myself.

I hate 11 am games, especially on the road. This is the 3rd I think so far? Only win was auburn, and that was a struggle too.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Rojas/Reese are combined 2 of 12 from the field. Meanwhile, Primo has played 24 minutes and has zero shots. Jeebus.
