Game thread: Alabama vs. Ole Miss (SEC opener)

[indyrtr]

Good thing that was a foul. Would have been yet another rim clank for herbie

 

[cpat4bama]

Wow

 

[indyrtr]

Poor herbie....kidding. take him out.

Nate Oats' gamble comes back to haunt him as Herbert Jones picks up his third foul with 4:52 in the half.

 

[cpat4bama]

I’m really starting to like Ellis. His confidence is growing and it’s showing.

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Not Oats’s finest moment putting Herb in there. Woof.

Not really haunting if Herb is going to pick up a foul every 17 seconds that he is on the court.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Does Herb need glasses? He can't see those players in front of him?

 

[indyrtr]

Petty lmao

 

[cpat4bama]

Get petty out of here geez

 

[indyrtr]

Let's play again. How many turnovers Petty and herb combined. Will be hilarious

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Petty has played great so far, but he’s mentally imploding right now.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Petty has 3 of our 10 TOs.

 

[mowens75]

Petty!! Take his tail out.

 

[sipsey37]

If we got more out of our older players we really could be pretty good this year.

 

[mowens75]

Yes was playing good, but now needs to be out.

It was strategy lol. We score without him on the court

 

[cpat4bama]

I feel like bama should be up 20

Sucks when our older players were initially taught the game from avery Johnson

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

My God Alex Reese.

 

[mowens75]

Reese!!!

 

[cpat4bama]

There you go Reese. The camera man fell asleep.

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Reese to JP!!

 

[mowens75]

Reese again!!!

 

[cpat4bama]

That’s how you attack the 1-3-1 !!!

 

[sipsey37]

I know it's always escaped me why we never had skilled players. I really think we have had good coaches based on success at other schools or in his case the NBA.

 

[indyrtr]

Heck yeah. Ole miss will have a lot of sec wins too.

 

[frazor]

One good thing about the depth of this team is it may just help to make up for the lack of a go to guy. Shack last game and Rojas before that. Team may have to ride Reese of all freakin people tonight.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 43, Ole Miss 34.

John Petty Jr. snaps Alabama's drought of three minutes without a bucket with an alley-oop dunk before the break. Jahvon Quinerly has 10 points, while Alex Reese has 7 points both off the bench.

100%

You mean JQ right?

Ole miss did their homework. Jones drives uncontrollably down the lane every time he touches it. Every team on our schedule will start doing this. The offense got better when he left. Primo, Ellis, Shack, Quinnerly are good basketball players.

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Good half. Pretty good on D, but ball movement has been great on O. Need to mitigate OM getting offensive boards.

Herb (when he wasn’t committing charges), Petty, Reese, JQ, Ellis were great in finding the open man. Good selfless basketball.

 

[indyrtr]

WE ARE MISSING SOME KEY ANTI-OATS TROLLS TONIGHT. WHERE DEY AT????

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

We also got up to our largest lead when Herb was in the game as well. Not saying he played great, but he had a couple of great assists on back to back possessions during that run.

Herb has the same amount of assists as he does turnovers in limited time. Let alone the 3 fouls lmao. Great tho right?

Did I say he played great? No. Just pointing out the group that was creating shots for the others.

Actually you did. That he was great at finding the open man

 

[indyrtr]

This goes for both teams. They are both getting ridiculous fouls called on em

Respectfully, GFY.
