Worst coached game of the year...we let UCLA dictate the pace of play. We let UCLA walk the ball up the floor over and over again. Tonight’s coaching effort sucked and most especially in OT. We deserved to lose.
Awful coaching!!

Oats can't shoot FT's for them
We lost it at the charity stripe
We lost it at the charity stripe
We win in regulation if we make just a few more free throws.
Not just there at the line.. UCLA defended us better and executed better in the half court than we did.
Cronin did a great job out of timeouts and in OT with getting the right shots through good offensive sets
How does a really good free throw shooting team all season, especially in the clutch, go 11-25 from the stripe. Herb Jones shit the bed tonight.

This one was all free throws. We hit just 3-4 of those 14 misses and Bama easily wins in regulation. Period.
And I’ll add Petty was bad again from three tonight.

Shake you lose when you let the other team dramatically dictate the pace of play. The only way we lose to a team with inferior talent is let them do what they want. CMC seriously outclassed CNO.
They played the way they played all season and nobody had a problem when it won the regular season and the SEC tournament crown.
Can someone delete this thread? UCLA made more shots tonight. Including very tough 3s.
We shot 25% from 3 pt as well .... for whatever reason we played 2 games in this building and did not shoot well in either game.
He also coached poorly. Had the momentum in the first have and he killed it by taking players out and putting Herb back in. He still refuses to call a freaking TO whenever the other team is going on a run. At the end of the game he took the ball out of JQ's hand and put it in Herb’s hand even though Herb hasn't done anything worth a damn all game. Lastly, he calls very little plays where you have cutting to the basket or back door screens even though the way teams play so tight on the perimeter; those plays should be there.
But you are correct that the players can't shoot so poorly from the FT line. That's was abysmal at best.
yes the pace gave us problems, but if we go 50% at the line we win
As a fan I don’t mind losing to another team that is better but Bama beat itself tonight by completely sh*tting the bed at the free throw line. Other than that they played hard against a talented and well-coached team.
Sorry not a coaching problem. All free throws.
Free Throws were the deciding factor in this game. No doubt about it. It was a great season. I believe this team overachieved this year. I did not expect for them to win the SEC and SEC tournament nor did I expect them to make it to the sweet sixteen. I had my hopes up before the season but these guys blew me away. Roll Tide!!!!!
BS...that’s the slowest and the least athletic effort we have had since before conference play. It was at best a subpar effort.
Great player and I love him, but every time Herb goes to the free-throw line, I cringe.
This, I've been critical of the fact Bama just seems to spread the court and pass it around until someone gets a 3 or can get into the lane.
^^^ This.
I for one am happy Jones and Petty will not be options for Oats next season.
I hate to agree but will. Too many times we let JQ drive and get blocked, or Petty doing dumb stuff and Herb shooting from the outside. We needed to call some sets to get good looks instead of just hoping JQ or Shack drove and found somebody. Still....Oats can shoot free throws for our guys. Thats what lost it
Insane post. We missed 14 free throws including the front end of 1 and 1s. If Ed shoot 60% from the free throw line we win easy.
I was thinking the same thing. It looked just like many of our games. If jones make those Free throws then everyone is singing praises.
I agree. Hell of a season and I’m excited for the future of the program. Just hate that we beat ourselves. Period.
The difference was free throws and to win close games you have to hit them.
We were 7 of 28 from 3pt ... hit a couple more from there and we win 50% from the FT line we win.
Damn good season .... now let's get started on the arena so we can give Oats some help.
With Jones with2 fouls in the first 41 seconds ... Oats had to be careful putting on the full court press to speed things up ..

Although Jones was the biggest offender the rest of the team was awful from the line as well. However, as a senior leader and a 73% free throw shooter you have to make 3 of 4 of those in clutch time.
Herb missed 3 free throws late that would have won the game. But it’s Oats fault the ball was in Herbs hands. Do you look around and just pick a guy or what? I’m putting the ball in my best players hands with the game on the line and that’s JQ. I’d take JQ, Petty, Ellis, Shack and Primo over Herb in that situation.
That's not entirely true; I've been critical of the lack of offensive sets all year. I said Bama will never win big if they can't be anything more than a three-and-drive team. I didn't trust this team to get past the Sweet 16.
Bama has been a very good free throw shooting team all season. Don’t think Oats coaching free throws had anything to do with the abysmal performance tonight.
Oats called the set for Herb. Oats has tried Herb in the clutch many times. It doesn’t work. The difference with Saban is, he wouldn’t keep letting the same guy bust a coverage.
Obviously you know very little about basketball...ask any of our players tomorrow and they’ll tell you it was like playing in a YMCA league game...slow slow slow. We played to their pace and that is what got us beat. Sure we missed free throws...that shouldn’t have mattered. We lost because we allowed them to dictate the pace of play...period
Michigan plays good defense, Alabama didn't play well down the stretch against good teams. Michigan is a damn good team and I didn't see this team beating them.
Just when I thought this board couldn’t get any more ridiculous...
JQ missed from the line several times tonight. JQ had some critical turnovers in this game.
Their offense looks unorganized if they can’t finish at the rim or hit threes...
Herb is an amazing rep fo Bama.. there is no way in hell he has the green light for three pointes and I would have had the ball in JQ’s hands because he’s a better shooter overall ( FTs too)
When you look a
I didn’t see us getting this far. I’m disappointed that we are out but not surprised.
