Game thread: Alabama vs. East Tennessee State

[indyrtr]

Bless his heart but Trevor Releford is the worst color guy in the history of basketball. Beth Mowins would even be better. Geez

Color guy? Racist? I actually don't think he's doing bad

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

My guess is Petty and Rojas are COVID related.

Releford is the worst tv person ever. Poor guy.

we can’t break away from ETSU

I figured out how I can personally enjoy this game: Every time Shack takes the ball to the basket (3 on 1) and miss the layup, I am going to take a sip of cognac.

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but damn he's bad...

[Pachyderms]

This is ugly basketball.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

If we hit 50 points tonight, I will be shocked!

 

[indyrtr]

Nobody can even say "its etsu" when we have herb and Reese out there.

hate for him but he doesn’t have the voice or enthusiasm

Sounds like a hellva plan, congrats on your impending inebriation.

Anyone have the actual score?

Racist? Wtf? The #2 guy on the broadcast is called the “Color Analyst.” Good grief...

Alabama leads ETSU 28-25 with 3:23 in the half.

Jaden Shackelford leads the Tide with 10 points on 3 of 6 shooting from beyond the arc.

 

[Pachyderms]

Is this a pick up game?

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Yup, I figure I will be all drunk-up with about 13 minutes to go in the game.

He really is terrible. I wasn't going to say it first.

Here is something I have been complaining about for year, from Grant to now with Oats, why don't Bama press more? Alabama for years not have seem to have better "athletes" than skilled "basketball players", and each of these coaches insist on playing deep into their roster playing 10-11 players (with the exception of last year when Oats didn't have the numbers). So why not press more and let these athletes get out in the open flood and get some easy baskets off turnovers? Most CBB teams only have a couple true ballhandlers, just think if teams pressed this Bama team the whole game, how many TO would this team have? Even worse last year when kira was really all we had. and even he was prone to TOs.

It could be just as demoralizing getting all those steals just to miss a bunch of layups.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Is this a pick up game?

No, a pick up game would be exciting. Releford ain't helping either!

Step up Keon, nice

 

[indyrtr]

Anyone have the actual score?

69-69

 

[rsaxoniii]

Really like Keon

 

[Pachyderms]

really? You serious Clark?

Man I hope you are kidding....Geez If you took that as a racist comment you are a complete dumb ass..

The dude is horrible. I loved him as a basketball player but this career choice will not work out for him. He is a monotone and keeps stuttering.

I actually like him sounds like someone that isn't a radio announcer and being real

 

[mowens75]

Well at least the SEC is pretty horrible this year. Might only have 2 teams make the tournament. If that!!

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

really? You serious Clark?

So you agree with @indyrtr? If so I should be asking if you're serious...

 

[aggietider]

Really like Keon

I’d like to see him and Primo playing a lot. I’ve seen what these older guys can do. Primo could be our best player down the stretch of SEC play, if we’d let him go through so growing pains now. But they just don’t get enough minutes to get past some of those things.

 

[mowens75]

By the way I think we see why Gary doesn’t play much.

I might be dumb. But not racist.

so were not impressed with Trevors commentar, we’re racist?

Dude, reread the thread, you're fighting this battle against the wrong guy...

 

[PlaidandParquet]

Bama by 1 at half

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

I disagree. Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Auburn and LSU all look decent. We will likely have 6-7 tournament teams.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Welp, I have good news and bad news:
bad news: there's another half of this game.
good news: it's only 20 minutes!

 

[mowens75]

Man this team is tough to watch, but I’ll continue to watch and comment on here. Ha! Maybe we should look for 3-4 more to recruit and clean house next year. Got to recruit consistent shooters (captain obvious) and big men who can play defense.

 

[BamaLegacy]

This thread reminds me of the dialogue from the bleacher crew in Major League...

have you watched bball this year? Just kidding with you, but only Tennessee and maybe Missouri playing much better than expected. The conference is way down from last few years.
