Game thread: Alabama vs. UNLV

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

UNLV has a 5-0 advantage in second-half points.

 

[mowens75]

Why does Reese play?

You could say the same about Rojas.

 

[gdh1954]

The only thing we've done better tonight is hit a few 3s

We just stand around on offense

 

[aggietider]

I’ve never seen a team get called for more charges while passing

Just think how many we might get if we drove the ball more...

 

[PlaidandParquet]

Does nato's ever use a timeout

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Petty!

 

[aggietider]

Petty!

Glad he’s on tonight...

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Herb’s shot has definitely improved.

 

[gdh1954]

This team is capable of being good. I’m convinced they are....or at least I think I am?

Can’t sustain success if your only hope is if you’re on from 3 or not.

 

[kyle h]

17 three pointers made in this game so far with 7:45 in the first half

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Someone get on whitey.

 

[vegas man]

We keep leaving that same kid open and he keeps nailing the 3 ball

Our passing is atrocious

 

[aggietider]

Herb’s shot has definitely improved.

Most of his 3’s have been really close, or maybe all of them. I’ve said a few times he’d be way better off to shoot the open 3 than he would be to drive it.

 

[cpat4bama]

Bama just can’t keep their foot on the gas when they get a lead.

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

We should be down 15 realistically

 

[gdh1954]

Our passing is atrocious

Passing is actually worse than atrocious. I just don’t know what the word is

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

UNLV 30, Alabama 26 (7:41 1H)

John Petty Jr is 4 of 5 from deep. He has 13 points for Alabama.

The Tide is being out-rebounded 13-8, including 4-1 on offensive boards.

 

[aggietider]

Someone get on whitey.

Oh you think he will just keep making them? Obviously we don’t think so on the court...

 

[BamaLegacy]

Caleb Grill looking like Reggie Miller against Bama’s elite NBA talent.

 

[gdh1954]

We’ll make a few good plays in a row, get a little lead and then do some dumb stuff and give the lead right back

 

[indyrtr]

We're good. Just gotta get jelly involved on o a little more

 

[indyrtr]

Caleb Grill looking like Reggie Miller against Bama’s elite NBA talent.

Well yeah he hasn't missed. Not like its sustainable

 

[aggietider]

As bad as our movement is off the ball. Those 2 go hand in hand. Disappointed that we have recruited more “basketball players,” but doesn’t seem that way so far.

 

[indyrtr]

Grill finally missed. Heck

 

[frig4]

There is no substance to this style—it is a novelty act. Shoot at will, defense and rebounding advised, but not mandatory. The frenetic pace appeals to recruits now, but I am not seeing a winning foundation being constructed.

 

[aggietider]

Over here running sets for Reese...

 

[CrmsnTusk4]

Oh you think he will just keep making them? Obviously we don’t think so on the court...

My rule of thumb, if there’s a white kid in on a CBB roster that gets meaningful minutes, DO NOT LET HIM SHOOT lol

 

[aggietider]

Our guys wouldn’t even let Grill run a pick up game in our gym with them and he’s about to go for 20 in the 1st half.

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

I hate watching us play basketball. So painful

 

[frig4]

Developing Herb’s 3 point shot was not high on my list of improvements the team needed to make. How about Herb finish from 3 feet.

 

[indyrtr]

This is unsustainable for unlv. Not worried

 

[Jalynne23]

any word on Ellis?

 

[aggietider]

When I watch Bruner run down the court it reminds me of Jimmie Taylor....looks like a struggle.

 

[indyrtr]

I know what I'll do. I hate it so much ill get on here and type about it

 

[frazor]

This is pissing me off

 

[PlaidandParquet]

This is unsustainable for unlv. Not worried

This is a stupid take. It's been sustainable for 20 minutes and this is a crap team.

 

[gdh1954]

Haven’t seen Ellis yet?

 

[indyrtr]

When I watch Bruner run down the court it reminds me of Jimmie Taylor....looks like a struggle.

He can actually handle and not dribble off his foot.

 

[indyrtr]

This is a stupid take. It's been sustainable for 20 minutes and this is a crap team.

Because one dude was like 6 for 6 from 3 or something like that. We will cover -11
