Game thread: Alabama basketball vs. Stanford

So who are we now going to lose to tomorrow night. You know, because this team won't reach its potential for another 8-10 games.
UNLV I think. I hope you don’t watch. Y’all just need to relax. 2 games in.....
 
Is there any way Saban would consider coaching both football and basketball at Bama. Not only would we probably play tougher and smarter but we'd recruit better too.

Not if you know anything about basketball.
These responses are great. Dude you said primo would be one of the best on the roster and would take shacks place. Then smyou say something like this? The only thing you know is how to be emotional

Son had a game tonight, just getting in and see Bama down 21. A quick break down of what went wrong tonight would be appreciated.
Bama couldn't get a stop to save their life which resulted in relying on half court offense. Stanford extended out to take away 3's. Every time we drove past the defender help defense swarmed in which resulted in no less than 67 cringeworthy shot attempts. Regardless of how good Stanford is this was one of the worst team performances I have seen under Oats. Hard to say anybody did anything well whatsoever.
 
Have you not watched the last 4 seasons where we were in good shape to make the tournament, and we totally tanked late in SEC play?
YES, but we lose three games every preseason that we should have won over easier teams than in the conference. If we would win those two or three we would go to the tourney a lot more.

This was an opportunity to take a step forward as a program tonight

And as usual tomorrow we hit the losers bracket
Yea it was but it ain’t the end of the world or the season. We’re gonna be fine. These guys still don’t even know how to play together yet. They’ll get much, much better.

You are an idiot. Never said a word about Primo. Show me the post. Never mind- you can’t. I know more basketball than you ever will. Delusional Homer.
 
Literally no one on the team played well, at all. Tonight was a chance to beat a real good team. We weren’t ready. We’ll get better.

My guess is you grew up in the south where basketball is known little. And my guess is you've never worked in sports. Yes, the one pointing at people saying you don't know/i know blah blah blah usually actually knows little. Hence he has to tell people he knows lmao
 
This is a team with Sweet 16 or better potential...solid talent at all 5 positions and possible future lottery pick in Primo...

...and that ball was just a bit outside
I think we are a tournament team. Forced 22 turnovers just didn't capitalized and shoot well.but primo definitely isn't a lotto now
 
I don’t think it’s smart to react harshly one way or another after game 2. We played terrible. But everything we did wrong is easily correctable. We have good players and a good coaching staff. We’ll be ok. Teams lose games they shouldn’t and play poorly early in the season. It happens. Kentucky lost to a good Richmond team yesterday or the day before, at home. We’re not Kentucky but my point is, it’s early. Why not be patient and see what this team turns into

Pretty much this. I will add that our terrible shooting is not nearly as alarming as our defense has been. Hopefully open shots will start falling. The ease that they were able to get to rim and open shots is what is troubling.
 
One game. Time to move on. Quinnerly and Herb getting foul trouble hurt. The rebounding was bad. I hope this is our lowest point total for the year. If so, we will be alright.

This 150%. No emotion and no leadership. They showed Petty and Herb sitting over their pouting down only 10-12.
 
I literally LOL'ed. You know nothing about me as a fan. I have been a Bama basketball fan my entire life, and I like basketball better than football. I am just sick and tired after seeing the same ole results year after year.

Agreed. I'm not even mad about the result as the way we play the game of basketball. It's mind-boggling how easy it was for Stanford to defend us tonight and score at will. Yet we miss layups, try to throw alley oops and dribble into the lane more than any team I have ever seen
 
Stanford literally looked like they were playing at 75% effort tonight and still whooped our ass. Oats better make adjustments quick
He will. He’s too good of a coach to let those kind of things fly. This is about as bad as we could play. Against a good team. That’s how blowouts happen. It’s nothing more than one bad game. We lost to Penn at home early last year and still had every opportunity to play meaningful postseason basketball

Then be sick of the 22 turnovers we forced. Shots will fall. We will capitalize. Just didn't happen tonight. Stanford will make a far run. They are setup well with 2 of the best shooters in the country.
