Well. That. Was. Old school. Since football in 2011

Dioubate played like a senior those last 5 minutes. That was massive...

Incredible how the second GC couldn't get any weak fouls called, Alabama took control. We were on the verge of blowing them out of the water. Then for nearly 10 minutes, the officials did everything to give them the game.

And the sad thing is, if Bama doesn't beat UNC, there will be many who consider the season a failure.

And Charles Barkley is a piece of shit

LETS GO BEAT NORTH CAROLINA NOW

And Charles Barkley is a piece of shit

I agreed with everything he said too. But fuck a barners opinion.

 

[Secondand26]

And Charles Barkley is a piece of shit

He keeps saying Alabama University. His school is now known as Yale’s little bitches

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

It's either lose tonight and get the embarrassment over with. Or....get absolutely eviscerated against UNC. This has been a very difficult game to watch.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

If Bama can marry tonight's defense with Friday night's offense... it won't matter who they play going forward. Big IF's, but it shows what this team is capable of.

That game war me out.

Certainly have to shoot better. Couldn't make a basket around the rim for a bunch of game

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I had the radio audio synced with the TV, but just went back to watch the ending again and the interview with Oats. This has nothing to do with anything, I just want it on the record: Lauren Shehadi is an absolute doll and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Brutal. And how many did the strip from us? Couple of their guys had some quick hands.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

If ESPN is right, Bama v. UNC is set for 8:40 (central) on Thursday night.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Goodman is a big Oats fan, but he also is well respected for his CBB knowledge...

We're due a game where we shoot lights out.
