Baseball ⚾️ Alabama Waxes Arkansas 91-59

[Jordan Harper]

-I’ve run out of adjectives to describe this team. They continue to dominate the top teams in the SEC and win in blowout fashion. The closest win they’ve had was at Auburn by 4, and they were up by double digits multiple times that game. This team is a legit 2nd weekend and beyond team.

-John Petty broke the all-time 3 point record at Alabama of 265 made threes. He has gotten a lot of criticism over the years, but he has made huge strides under Nate Oats and his system. He will shatter the record and make it close to unbreakable.

-The young guys stepped up. Shackelford scored 16, Gary scored 9, Miles scored 8, and Ambrose had 4 including a poster dunk over 7’3 Connor Vanover. You’ll see guys like Hylton and Gary earn more minutes.

- The defense has been amazing the past several games. Alabama forced 18 turnovers today and it turned into 16 points. Getting the halftime lead to 42-19 was predicated off the great defense the Tide played. They’re getting into the passing lanes and being disruptive with their hands.

-After making 14 threes against Kentucky, Alabama made 15 today as their shooting remains hot. We knew they wouldn’t stay cold for long and now they’ve awaken from deep. This team can be near unbeatable when they hit 3’s like this to go along with their defense.

Fun stuff watching Bama lately...even with the injuries, which makes it just that much more impressive...RTR

What do you think keeps Miles out of the lineup?

Enjoying the ride... we have a hell of a ball club

He’s getting up to speed with the college game. I think it was too fast for him early on. Same with Gary and Hylton

So excited about this team, and i feel validated after telling people I could see us turning the corner. So happy for petty, but I don't think that record will be unbreakable with the way we are playing now someone is gunna come in and green light for 4 years.

That makes sense... but I mean... is the game not too fast for Rojas? Lol.

To be fair, Rojas always brings energy...often he is an unguided missile and he is smaller than was advertised, but other teams can’t relax when he is playing. A lot of young kids will be passive to avoid making mistakes, so even if they have the talent it doesn’t matter if they shrink to avoid making a mistake. I think our young guys are coming along though and may be helping more and more as we go.

Haven't had a run like this in ions! Feels good! RTR!

As of right now we are 22 in NET rankings and LSU is 19. So, we have a quality opponent coming up. The Viles are number 4 and we already beat them once!

Watching LSU get rewarded with no real repercussions is ridiculous...would love for Bama to beat them silly, bit I expect a dog fight.

Oh timidity is not his issue. I believe he touched the ball 7 times today and had 5 turnovers. It’s gotten really bad.

Most of those won't last 4 years

You serious Clark??? That sounds about right.

He’s too fast for the ball to keep up with him.

Didn't realize he was as tall/long as he is. And it looked like he is left handed. I didn't know that or I would have already wanted to see more of him. Us lefties have to stick together....and we can shoot!

Yeah I believe he’s listed at 6’7”. The only thing I can think is he seems a little slow defensively. Maybe CANT quite check a guard effectively on the perimeter? I don’t know. He needs more burn than Rojas for sure.
