Despite Jahvon Quinerly's best efforts to help us lose, Alabama outlasted UNC. I thought it was an incredible game until OT. Then it was two exhausted teams playing bad basketball. Except Chuck. We love Chuck.
He scored 20+ points. He is also on two weeks back from knee rehab. Still alot of playing to get back into playing strength.Quinerly is not helping right now, he’s been somewhat of a liability. I hope he gets it in gear, or else he needs to be at the end of the bench. This team is young and hungry, very exciting start to the year.

What did you think he did that did not help the team?
He had a better game stat-wise, but his 5 turnovers mostly came at critical junctions in the game. I’m hopeful he improves the assist to turnover margin. 2022 he averaged 4 assists and 3 TOs per game, same average this year through his less playing time.He scored 20+ points.

Agree, not questioning his ability. He just made some poor turnovers and missed 18 shots. That hurt us when there were a number of hotter hands. Probably the most shooting attempts he’s taken in a game.Yeah, gotta give the guy an opportunity to get over the mental hurdle of rehabing a serious knee injury. He's been a good player for us, so no need for our fans to turn on him or question his abilities.
I think the shooting will improve. Not sure about the turnovers he just plays so fast and takes it into areas that seem to be feast of famine. I do think there were several possessions that we had the last shot and we just dribbled for 25 seconds then drove and took a tough shot. That to me is something Oats has to teach. Move the ball please....Agree, not questioning his ability. He just made some poor turnovers and missed 18 shots. That hurt us when there were a number of hotter hands.

This right here is my only question with Oats. Our off ball movement when our first set doesn't materialize needs tweaking. Passing is always better than ISO ball with one man dribbling for 20+ seconds. For a style that wants to play fast, it'd be 10x better if he instilled this. But it also requires him to give less freedom to the players, which I think would be beneficial in late games.I do think there were several possessions that we had the last shot and we just dribbled for 25 seconds then drove and took a tough shot.

Another thing that was a staple for Oats offense was dribble, drive and kick out. I think people caught up with this and started defending the passing lanes which resulted in turnovers.This right here is my only question with Oats.

Michigan State got blown out vs Notre Dame. North Carolina lost @ Indiana last night.
Not sure how well that UNC loss is going to look. I don't think Hubert Davis is a good coach at all and his team caught fire late.
Shit I posted that before coffee. My apologies. Meant win.Are you talking about how well our win over UNC will look? I can almost guarantee it will look better than had we lost to UNC. Either way, I remember that we almost always lose to UNC so that win was a fun one for me.
We have a lot of "barometer games" in the near future that will tell how good this team is with Gonzaga, Memphis and Houston and I think the Cougs are still pissed about last year's game in T-Town so that one will be a good one!
It was at Indiana, but the Hoosier being 7-0 may be a little smoke and mirrors this early, their schedule has been really weak up until UNC.Michigan State got blown out vs Notre Dame. North Carolina lost @ Indiana last night.

That and UNC just came off a 4 OT game with us. That's got to be tiring as a player.It was at Indiana, but the Hoosier being 7-0 may be a little smoke and mirrors this early, their schedule has been really weak up until UNC.
