Pregame notes

Dom Welch and Darius Miles are both in a walking boot as Alabama filters out for warmups.

Hello Nimari Burnett nice to meet you

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

I like the length of this team .

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Jacksonville State 41-33 with 3:59 to play in the half. JSU hasn't scored in 2:17

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Need to finish. We should throttle these guys.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Where is everyone?

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 51, Jacksonville State 39.

— Mark Sears leads all scores with 16 points
— Alabama has matched its season-high of 14 assists
— Alabama is 12 of 22 (55%) from beyond the arc

 

[frazor]

Where is everyone?

Asleep. Just me you and Tony tonight I guess.

Oh and Bama is playing pretty well so that's going to drop traffic by 57%. If Bama was down by 12 there would be 15 more posters chiming in.

[vegas man]

JSU is a bit hot but I'd like to see some more hustle from Bama guys when trying to close on shooters.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Need to tighten up on Defense

 

[vegas man]

Can we please hit some damn free throws.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

If we could hit the FTs we would be up by 30.

 

[frazor]

Would love to see Q come out and get to the rim out of this timeout.

They are missing out.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Coleman Coliseum is on its feet as Alabama uses an 8-0 run to extend its lead to 70-48 over Jacksonville State.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

I like the board work! We can be explosive!

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

Let’s go!! We are shooting lights out.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

Whoever is changing the score on the SECN telecast sucks! It looks like it was produced by Atari.

 

[frazor]

Let’s go!! We are shooting lights out.

Is Miller the best Bama player of the past 30 years??

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama already has 20 assists tonight. The Crimson Tide's previous season-high was 14 against Liberty. Alabama's single-game record is 30 against East Tennessee State in 2004.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

The defense this half is the difference.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

What’s the RBs looking like?

 

[vegas man]

Geez Miller. Don't use it all up against JSU.

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

I hate fansville.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Jacksonville State 87-53 with 7:08 to play. The Crimson Tide is 21 of 41 (51%) from beyond the arc. The single-game school record for 3-pointers is 23 against LSU last year.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Jacksonville State 93-55 with 3:28 remaining. JSU hasn't made a FG in 7:05

 

[Slowpoke Catracho]

What a show! Once we added the D to an already hot shooting hand we were able to play like a complete team. We started a bit slow on D in the 1st half, but really tightened up in the 2nd.

Final: No. 18 Alabama 104, Jacksonville State 62

Alabama moves to 4-0 on the season and will play Michigan State in the Phil Knight Invitational on Thanksgiving.
