Alabama and LSU are tied at 4 heading into the first media timeout.

Both teams are 2 of 6 from the floor.

Alabama is 0 of 3 from deep.

 

[cpat4bama]

Slow start

 

[cpat4bama]

JQ still turning it over

 

[cpat4bama]

LSU selling out against the three, but the lanes are still open. Great drive by Ellis.

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

As usual, defense getting us some opportunities. Nice run there.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama has made its last five shots

 

[cpat4bama]

Good to see Ellis getting it going.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads LSU 18-11 heading into the second media timeout.

After missing its first four 3s, the Tide has hit its last two.

Really good to see JQ make a 3 early. Ellis is playing hard on defense per usual and it’s starting to look like he’s finding his groove offensively. If we can get him scoring like he did in junior college then this offense would be even harder to defend

 

[cpat4bama]

Love Oats jacket tonight. Very sharp.

 

[cpat4bama]

After a slow start bama finally finding their rhythm on offense. That pass to Reese in the middle seems to be working for the kick out just gotta knock down those threes.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads LSU 28-18 with 6:54 left in the half.

The Tide holds a 20-6 advantage in the paint.

 

[gdh1954]

Really like how we’re getting so many good looks in the paint early in the game. If LSU tries to adjust then we’ll probably get some real nice looks from 3.

 

[cpat4bama]

Rojas checking in with a turnover

 

[cpat4bama]

How was that over the back on Herb? He was in front of his man.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alex Reese is clutching his face. It looks like he got poked in the eye.

Alabama leads LSU 30-25. The Tide is shooting just 2 of 11 from 3

 

[gdh1954]

Yea I don’t know. I was watching Herb get position for that rebound and I really didn’t see him do a thing? No idea what the ref saw there.

The refs were calling a pretty even game til that call.

 

[aggietider]

I don't know how many Watfords I would need to trade Herb, but it'd be more than 1.
Reese is playing well again for those of you that just don't like him. He's had Watford 1 on 1 twice where Watford went at him with no help and Watford got nothing either time.

Kinda thought he pushed the guy in the back early before they jumped.

I personally think watford is kinda over rated. He’s kinda in between. Not big enough for the post and not fast enough to play with the guards.

 

[cpat4bama]

Damn Gary already with three and he’s playing great.

Yep, his right eye is dinged up.

 

[cpat4bama]

Yep, his right eye is dinged up.

Yea Gary elbowed him

 

[aggietider]

We are good but if JQ can get right...we can beat anybody, anywhere!

 

[cpat4bama]

Watford pushed off TWICE there no foul

 

[aggietider]

Shack had Ellis for a wide open dunk and takes some terrible shot. But we have made some really good passes today. Just don't waste them to Rojas, same thing as throwing it out of bounds.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Watford pushed off TWICE there no foul

Yep! And it was very obvious too!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

 

[cpat4bama]

Complete bullshit right in front of the red two times.

 

[lgreene22]

Still trying to shake off offensive funk but it’s not pretty.

That looks rough.

 

[gdh1954]

Kinda thought he pushed the guy in the back early before they jumped.

He could have. I may not have seen it. Does seem like we haven’t gotten many calls when we’re driving into the lane. Felt like we got fouled a few different times that half with no call. Petty looked like he got hit right before the half ended.

 

[gdh1954]

Only made a couple 3’s tonight I think and we’re up 6 at half. If Reese can get back on the floor and we can make some deep shots then we’ll be just fine.

Our guys just seem so wild when they drive sometimes, and aren't great ballhandlers. I think they don't get the benefit of the doubt. Like that little dude from Auburn, he's always under control and so smooth. They can't miss him getting bumped.

 

[pwestbro61]

Shack needs to stop taking 3’s tonight. Primo has not taken a shot. Game has a weird feel.

And we ran a set for him right before half for a 3. Wish we'd run it for Petty. Primo has to get involved or they have to get him involved.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

It appears the ref's whistle only works when we're on defense.

 

[cpat4bama]

Damn Herb not a good play there on the foul
