Game thread: Alabama at Tennessee

[CrmsnTusk4]

Holy crap get Rojas off the floor.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

He's playing volleyball with Herb's weak layup attempts.

 

[cpat4bama]

Keep shooting Petty

 

[mowens75]

Yeah we just need Rojas to come in small spurts to give others a rest. He should never dribble. Maybe let him get some hard fouls and get him out. I know I’m hard on him most nights, but Herb really is slowing us down.

 

[pfaud001]

They've looked great today but I keep fearing that Bama drought with some inexplicable turnovers and we go from up 10 to down 10.

I wish we could keep Petty engaged. If he's hot he can carry us the rest of the game.

Not this time! We are winning!

 

[TideFan35]

Obvious the refs aren’t gonna call foul #4 on Pons

 

[cpat4bama]

They are calling some ticky taCJ fouls on the ball and won’t call nothing at the rim.

 

[aggietider]

Seemed like Primo sat a long time.

 

[cpat4bama]

That’s like the 3rd time they have stepped out of bounds in the corner

 

[TideFever]

Not this time! We are winning!

Been a while since we got points but the vols aren't taking advantage of it.

Especially against a team with a few bruisers down low. He can bang with them for a few minutes so Reese and bruner dont have to.

 

[pfaud001]

I want the ball in Quinerly’s hands driving to the hoop. If it’s not there, then a kick out to petty.

Amen

 

[aggietider]

We aren't even trying to win putting Herb is an iso late in the game with JQ ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TideFever]

Good grief at that flop. Quin should've avoided him but his jersey maybe grazed the shooter and he fell like he got hammered.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Herb is killing us with his consistent blown layup attempts.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

We aren't even trying to win putting Herb is an iso late in the game with JQ ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love a lot about Herb, him being your offensive focus isn't one of them. He should strictly be a crash the boards and get cheap points type of player.

 

[cpat4bama]

That’s a charge!!!

 

[mowens75]

Herb got us one back!! Good job

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

That's what Herb can do and should do.

 

[cpat4bama]

What the hell JQ just freezes up on the double team come on man

 

[mowens75]

And maybe that’s the reason we save the timeouts. Haha! Come on Bama!!!

 

[aggietider]

I love a lot about Herb, him being your offensive focus isn't one of them. He should strictly be a crash the boards and get cheap points type of player.

Exactly. He has been a good catch and shoot 3 point shooter lately when he’s shot them. I’m not against him doing that at the moment. But putting him in ISO’s just isn’t the answer.

 

[pfaud001]

That’s a charge!!!

Either no call or charge. No way blocking. Refs are absolutely swallowing the whistle on pons

 

[xcop]

Lets get a bucket out of this time out. The clock is our friend.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

I like the defensive effort tonight, but we need more control on O.

 

[sipsey37]

I love a lot about Herb, him being your offensive focus isn't one of them. He should strictly be a crash the boards and get cheap points type of player.

I think alot of it is him trying to prove hes an NBA guy who can do more than just play defense. We're bringing in alot of big guards who will do it much better on the offensive end in the future I hope.

 

[TideFever]

Barnes grinding on the officials is paying off late. Ponds could about decapitate someone right now and somehow he would go to the free throw line.

 

[pfaud001]

I want primo on the floor

 

[cpat4bama]

Not the ideal way to break the press

 

[mowens75]

Free throws!! Got to hit them!!

 

[aggietider]

45 keeps traveling on all his jump stops. Big time.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Got hit the Freebies. Let’s see if we know how to win!

 

[pfaud001]

I like how they call it slipping.

 

[TideFever]

LOL, vols had to foul a couple times to get us to the bonus. Almost nothing called on them since Barnes blew up just before the half.

Got to get to 71 to feel safe. And that's assuming they don't get a crazy 3 in a hurry.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Still missing too many FTs.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

I've said all year. The SEC isn't set up for us.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

HERB!!!

 

[aggietider]

We have just played different as a whole. I don’t even feel like it’s just playing better on offense or defense. I feel like our approach has been better on both ends.

 

[mowens75]

Come on close this out. Hit free throws!!!
