🏀 GAME THREAD 🏆 Ole Miss vs Alabama in the SEC Tournament: Rebels upset the Tide, 80-79

The dumbest shit possible too is Oats with timeouts yet again just sits back and does absolutely nothing with them. They're there for a reason. Use it at the end of the game. Use it when the other team gets hot. Find better sub patterns. For the love of god, stop this stubborn approach you have when there have been multiple times throughout your coaching career where a timeout could have saved you from losing a game. It's insanity.

Hopefully we got the bad game out of our system. Now we can go on a run. That was pretty ugly tonight.

That's usually what happens in this situation. And the last ting Bama needed was to lose to Florida by 25 again after playing 3 straight days... which is what was gonna likely happen had they made it that far.

Gotta face a Florida type team at some point, but if we can't get up for a team below .500, why do we even show up? I never buy "get rested". The ganes have to matter every day, not just when you feel it's important and matters.

I’m not sure what was worse, the player’s performance or the coaching. Wait, yes I am. It’s the (lack) coaching.

Poor game. Still should have won at the end. But our center with a rebound of another missed shot by Philon? Instead of jumping up with authority and dunking, he jumps 10 maybe 12 inches off the floor and he is blocked Again by an OM player.

Too many shots missed, many of them layups and couldn't keep OM from scoring. Too many of our players are inconsistent, on offense and defense.

Could happen. Got blown out by Florida two seasons ago, then made the FF. Or it could be like Oats' third season, lose to Vandy and then ND in the first round.

I agree

I agree with this too

You do, but usually not in the first couple rounds. And I don't think it's as much the "team" with Florida other than it is their coach. He jsut has Oats' number.

On the rest thing, I'm not going to pull the numbers again, but teams the play all weekend in this tournament usually fall flat in the tournament that matters most days later. And this Bama team specifically is fragile as hell. Philon is still battling through his leg issue. The rest and extra practices will do them good, IMO.

That's what I'm saying, I'd rather us go on that 8-0 streak or whatever it was we went on rather than look like this and be sweating first and second round games. You said it, "fragile", and I'm talking mental as much as I am physically, and that's why I don't like losing to teams under .500 in March.

Yeah Sherrell seems like he has a vertical jump of about 12". He has the body size but not much vertical jumping ability.

So they are actually 1-2 over the last 3 games... So the 8 game winning streak is in the rear view mirrow. Crazy we didn't get better shooting from a few players that usually shoot better. Looking at Wrightsell and Hollaway.

An encouraging thing tonight was Bol Bowen. He probably had the best game he has had in awhile.

Not expecting him to all of a sudden catch fire. That alley oop was really nice though.

Listening to the press conference after a L will not make you happy.

IMO this team will probably make it through the first round of the NCAA tournament but that’s about it. Ole Miss. a 15 seed in the tournament and this is their 3rd game. Bama was out coached and outplayed.

We need longer guards UM controlled our guards with length we missed so many layups due to pressure.

We've been bested by longer guards so often...heart and grit sometimes beats length - see Sears - but we routinely get ruined by athletic, long guards.
