Game thread: Alabama vs Florida

[mowens75]

Ellis playing well. Rojas might never win a game for us, but dude plays hard. He’s playing really well tonight.

We’ve figured out to play as a team and the shot selection has gotten so much better. Combine that with playing hard on both ends of the floor and rebounding much better and that’s why we look like a different team. This is what this team is capable of and that’s without JQ and Herb in foul trouble

lets gooooo

We can count on a comeback. But I like how we have played. absolutely hate when herb is in on offense. We are much better on O playing through Keon ellis, shack, and a big tonight

So far we’ve answered the runs.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Ellis looks pretty good!

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

@Sweetlou10 your boy Ellis is showing out!

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

I like the pressure on the basket!

 

[mowens75]

Rojas doesn’t understand slow the pace down. Haha! That guy!!

I don’t like playing not to lose either! Lol

I really believed he would be a big time scorer this year. I hope he’s figuring out his ability.

Ok fes up. Who had Bama 3-0 to start conference play??

 

[mowens75]

I don’t like playing not to lose either! Lol

What? Never mind. Haha! Roll Tide

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Wow! First win against UF since 2006 and first 3-0 SEC start since 86-87! If we win!

 

[mowens75]

What a win!!! This team is playing good! Keep it up. Auburn up next.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Honestly since SEC play started, it’s the best we have looked in a really long time.

 

[grichards56]

We have beaten two very good teams in Tennessee and Florida. Keep it rollin !

 

[Denny_DennyCrane]

We have not had a good history beating Florida. This is a very good win coming off another good win. The Tide is changing and it is all good.

Just sitting down to watch the game, I watched the Heisman and then had to make a run because apparently tonight was "my" night to worry about dinner. So Publix chichen it is.

Just looking at the score, this was a huge win. I know Florida isn't a great team and without their best player, but they are still a good team. And in the past, after a win like Saturday, Alabama has almost always laid an egg the next game no matter who they played. This shows that this team is growing and understand what it takes to be a consistent winner.

I know Herb misses a lot of layups but you can't argue with his production tonight. Everybody has finally figured out their role on this team and it's looking good. Bruner is a definite upgrade from Galin. Primo is still trying to build some confidence but he still looks good. Imagine when he figures it all out. Could you imagine if Tchikou wasn't injured.

 

[frazor]

Haha. 59 posts in a game thread with a huge victory. I like the riff raff being absent.

 

[xcop]

I can't post and keep up with the game. But then maybe I'm part of the riff raff.......

 

[pfaud001]

This is such a weak game thread boys! We need 4 pages when whip a good Florida team

 

[aggietider]

Rojas playing with a bit more control!

When he's under control he can give the other team fits. But man dude can get wild sometimes.

 

[aggietider]

Just got a chance to watch it. I still can't believe it. Two games in a row we've handled two really good teams, and tonight without JQ. Oats has made some adjustments. We just aren't running and shooting the first 3 we see in these last couple games, and it's obviously helped us on offense but it's helped us even more on defense. We've taken better shots, which leads to less transition for the opposing team. And with this roster, we are going to have a mismatch in our favor a lot of times, and tonight we wore every mismatch we could find out.
I thought Bruner was really good tonight. Rojas played within the structure of things better. Ellis and Primo are going to be huge down the stretch. Reese is settling in his spot. Herb killed mismatches all night. Petty just keeps doing whatever needs to be done, although he needs to find more shots.
Can't believe we didn't lay an egg after the big win Saturday. It's exciting, but I'm not getting to high. I've traveled this road before....

Nah you know who/what I'm talking about.

My thoughts exactly, the fact that they didn’t live and die by the 3 was the most important part of the game to me. They took it to the basket and forced the refs to call fouls. They played strong on defense for the second straight game against a good opponent. If they can keep it going against Auburn and Kentucky, this team can challenge for the SEC.
