Baseball ⚾️ Game thread: Alabama at Auburn

Wouldn’t hurt for us to play a little zone. The ball screen with Cooper is killing us right now.
 
Halftime: Alabama 37, Auburn 36.

The Tide led by as many as 10 in the first half before allowing the Tigers to get back in it.

Joshua Primo leads Alabama with 14 points, while Herbert Jones has 9 points, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks.
 
I’m just not so aggressive in terms of style. But can we not back off of Cooper some? We guard him so high and he blows by us and that puts the guy guarding him so far out of the play. Or the ballscreen is really high and it takes our big that much further out of the play too. And we obviously can’t contain him. Maybe a little zone?
 
Fouls, turnovers and too many 3’s. Auburn played terribly and only trails by one. Will lose if someone other than Primo or Herb does not step up.
 
Bama with 2 points off the bench, Shack with 0, Petty with 5, FTs 11 for Boogs to 3 for Bama...miracle Bama isn’t getting blown out.

Bama can play about a million times better but the energy and D is there...still would be nice to combine it with some better shooting.

We look like did prior to SEC play starting.

We're not as active on defense and we're not pushing it inside as well. Some of that is the barn is giving us wide open looks from 3 but its made for some really quick trips. If we're going to play that see a 3 shoot a 3 game then we gotta hit 40% or better.

Thank goodness Primo is hitting shots or we would be down a dozen or more right now. No one else seems to be doing much with the ball other than Herb's usual brick party on layups.
 
what a game, lets go!!!! foul difference hurt towards the end of the 1st half. Need a few more people stepping up
 
hope Cooper leaves.......hes going to be amazing. petty needs taken out. if herb petty and Reese are on the court together we done
 
They're just driving in and tossing the ball up for #44 to block it!
 
Primo has had a good game so far, but he’s killing us on the drive. Needs to be able to find the man for the kick.

If we drive it, we are throwing something up in the air to be blocked or hit the ceiling.
 
Who isn’t weak around the rim for us?
I'll take Bruner at the rim on offense any day. you know herb gonna clank it off. Cooper is legit and by far the best player on the court when he wants to be. Sucks he came back today haha
 
CNO needs to break out the smelling salts because Bama is asleep...talk about coming out slow sheesh

Shack is playing like crap...this game has too many athletes for him to be effective on anything but catch and shoot so far and he isn’t making shots

Bruner should be decent around the rim since he’s the center. But he isn’t getting anything around the rim with 44 there either. We need JQ today. He’s the only person they can break the defense down and get anything done consistently.
 
About to get blown out of their gym if we don't get our heads into the game. Whole team seems to be a step slow compared to recent games and now they're heating up.
 
Ellis finally drives it under control and kicks it out for the wipe open 3. Offense isn’t going to matter if we keep playing Cooper like this. Have to adjust on defense.
 
Rojas is giving all he has but he is WAAAY overmatched athletically

we need Reese to never suit up again and JP to be on or he's worthless today. Cooper is a freak!
 
Herb, please do that every time you can reach the rim and stop with the passive toss up or lay up every time.
 
We will see if we get some leadership petty here. Need Herb and Him to bring us home.
