Starting 5?

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama basketball just took the court. Herbert Jones (finger) is out warming up. Jahvon Quinerly (medical condition) is not out yet.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Quinerly just took the court, too

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Herb gets the start

Herb starting...I'm here for about a half and then sneaking into the woods late...

 

[cpat4bama]

Here we go with the fouls early

 

[aggietider]

Arkansas has better offensive numbers than us in every category they just showed. They are either really good on offense, or had some easy games early...

 

[ChingyFan24]

I can’t get over Herb playing. I feel like I just attended his funeral and then he’s out there playing as if nothings wrong.

 

[frazor]

Didn't pay close attention to it but if it Included their OOC games that is why. They have played nobody OOC @aggietider

 

[mowens75]

Good start here. Roll Tide

 

[zombie 9tails]

Is it frustrating to anyone else the number of times per game that Shackelford gets out of control going to the basket?

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

they aren't calling fouls and I love it. Outside of 2 early ones. its crazy how we are every bit or better than this good arky team. W/L Nate oats has delivered a total different team than previous years.

 

[cpat4bama]

Rojas should never handle the ball in the open court

 

[aggietider]

This is like an above average womens game so far.

 

[ChingyFan24]

Oates needs to sit Rojas down and explain to him that he’s not a guard and at no point does he need to push the ball down the court full speed unless the entire opposition defense is behind him

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama goes on a 9-0 run to take a 17-5 lead with 12:37 in the half. Arkansas has six turnovers in the last six minutes.

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Good start. Keep the foot on the gas.

 

[mowens75]

I think at times Keon wants to be a pg a little too much with his passing attempts. Ha! Sometimes he just needs to take the shot.

 

[aggietider]

That was impressive by Gary. Hoping he takes advantage of extra minutes without Bruner. Rojas can kill us really fast at times.

 

[frazor]

Rojas should never handle the ball in the open court

There are soccer players I'd let bring it up with their feet before I let Rojas bring it up the court.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Arkansas is 1 of 9 (11 percent) from the floor and has seven turnovers. Eeek

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

There are soccer players I'd let bring it up with their feet before I let Rojas bring it up the court.

That would be a foul

 

[xcop]

sloppy game. I hope we get more under control

 

[frazor]

That would be a foul

What's the difference????

 

[aggietider]

That would be a foul

But it'd be a dead ball. Rojas gives it to them on a live turnover. Easier to get back on D with the dead ball.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Quinerly is rubbing his right knee on the bench. Now he's limping a bit.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

I remember getting excited when someone would dive on the floor on a CAJ coached team. Now its just expect.

 

[frazor]

Q looks like he hasn't played ball in a few weeks.

 

[xcop]

Quinerly is rubbing his right knee on the bench. Now he's limping a bit.

may be his medical condition

 

[mowens75]

I’ll take this!! Nice!! Roll Tide!!

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Our defense is absolutely suffocating.

 

[aggietider]

We've made a couple 3's off of terrible passes. I remember being on the other side of 19-2 runs....

 

[frazor]

Man I hate what Nate Oats has done to this Bball program.

 

[xcop]

WOW!! WOW!

 

[mowens75]

And we only have 2 fouls!!

 

[aggietider]

Arkansas's offensive spacing is rough....they look lost.

 

[BamaLegacy]

Pretty fun so far...Bama can just keep this up and it will suit me fine

 

[cpat4bama]

Rojas doing his thing
