Missing too many layups

You don’t have one positive thing to say do you?

 

[Holt Ironman]

So frustrating to watch Petty play with his hair when the ball is in play.

Wish petty would stop throwing up 3s

Reese hitting from long range!

 

[TideFever]

Reese! Playing like he's possessed tonight!

 

[tydzbk]

Love the offensive weapons we have out there right now. Can't stop that kind of ball movement.

Ok. One!

 

[cpat4bama]

Reese MVP so far lol

 

[gdh1954]

Keep getting good looks and keep letting them fly. Just gotta figure out what the problem is on defense. Way too many wide open layups and wide open threes

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Maryland 44-33 with 2:43 left in the half.

The Tide is 8 of 15 from beyond the arc.

Almost like they are over playing on defense

This is how our offense should be... JQ drive and dish to one of our shooters. JQ forces the D to react and we’ve been finding the open shooter.

 

[TideFever]

In other news... the cajuns are done.

 

[shake_weight]

MD guarding the perimeter well, contesting most of our shots. Good to see the team with their stroke so far

Awesome!

That's how it is when Q plays his game and herb is not the initiator.

thanks for following my posts

 

[cpat4bama]

Just go up with that herb!!! Trying to do to much.

 

[shake_weight]

Close out strong. Don’t give them any momentum

 

[cpat4bama]

Oats with a time out wow

 

[shake_weight]

How’s that not a blocking foul?

 

[xcop]

we are a pretty good basketball team

 

[cpat4bama]

Hope JQ is ok he is limping

 

[bama100]

This team is so talented, but they commit so many atrocious turnovers. If they can cut those down, they can go all the way. It’s ok to slow it down a tiny bit in certain situations.

 

[TideFever]

Refs swallowed the whistles it seems. They've ignored a few fouls late. That turnover on JQ looked like a foul.

Not liking how we're being so sloppy right at the end of the half.

Done a better job since giving up 3-4 in the first 3 mins

but yeah. Gotta protect the ball

It’s not difficult when the team is winning and you see spots of criticism! 😉

Halftime: Alabama 46, Maryland 38

Alex Reese leads Alabama with 11 points of the bench on 4 of 5 shooing. The Tide has scored more than half its points off the bench.

 

[shake_weight]

Great shooting and defense. Protect the ball and stay outta foul trouble

 

[pwestbro61]

Great offensive half- defense needs to be better though.

 

[xcop]

If JP could find his stroke in the second half, well ,how many times have I thought that ? Primo and Reese are really playing well.

 

[pwestbro61]

Defense not that great.

Two or three off the bench are as good or better than the starters. Deepest team I've seen Bama have in decades.

 

[coffee89]

Herb should be extremely fresh the second half. We will probably need him on the boards the second half.

 

[StablerCountry]

Reese is playing hot tonight. Primo, Shack and JQ look pretty hot themselves.

 

[pwestbro61]

Again- defense not good. Gave up 6 3’s and Maryland shot 50%.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

I think our defense is going tighten up in the 2nd half.

 

[rsaxoniii]

Reese 11
Shackleford 8
Quinerly 7, 9 assist 4 rebounds
Petty 6
Primo 6
Jones 4
Gary and Ellis 2

JQ with 9 assists. That's the way we win.
