🏀 GAME THREAD No. 14/15 Alabama Closes Non-Conference Play with 102-78 Win over Yale

[bama alum]

No Philon tonight. Bama's off to a good start, up 12 - 6 with four minutes gone.

Probably going to get my wish, but I really hope Allen isn't a one-and-done. That kid can ball!

55 - 31 at the half. Bama's killing it behind the arc and doing a good job with the boards.

BRISTOW!! BOOOOM!!

Even without both Philon and Jemison, Bama's guard play hasn't lost a step. Yeah, I know there are are ten minutes left, but Bama's up by 35. Should be a solid win tonight!

Rebounding is much better this game. Amari Allen, Bristow, and Sherrell doing a really good job tracking down long boards.

Defense has been disappointing in the second half. We have got to have the worst transition D in college sports. It is downright awful.

You have to appreciate Mallette’s tenacity when he doesn’t have the ball. He is doing a whole lot off ball.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Alabama’s last few trips have been giving Bristow, Bol Bowen, and WIlliamson open shots from 3 and them missing horribly. Bristow does not need to shoot open shots. He has one ugly stroke.

Bethea I think is still growing but has the most upside on the team, besides Philon of course. Needs to get better about not dribbling away from this body but he’s a special talent.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Defense in the second half has been downright atrocious. I want us to be good, but I have zero faith ever in Brian Adams putting together a good defense.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Great win. Alabama hits over 100 yet again. Impressive win over an 11-2 Yale squad. Offense was great. Rebounding improved and the ball movement was crisp. Defense is going to struggle big time this season.
