Game thread: Alabama vs Western Kentucky

[aggietider]

Why do we shoot threes from so deep? So many times we could catch it closer and just stay way out there...

 

[aggietider]

I say if Shack drove it 100 times, something positive would happen around 5 times.

 

[mtmax]

Got a feeling we are about to go on a run.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Charles Bassey is 9 of 10 from the floor. He has 21 points and seven rebounds for WKU

 

[aggietider]

Got a feeling we are about to go on a run.

Of points or turnovers?

 

[aggietider]

Well hello Petty. Nice of you to shoot.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Reese cannot play SEC basketball. Every game he proves he cannot do anything more than catch and shoot and its hilarious

Well he has to be better than whoever else is on the bench because he's the one Oats keep putting out there.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

A rare sighting of a J. Petty 3-pointer!

 

[indyrtr]

Bassey is the best player we will see all year. Thank christ

 

[cpat4bama]

Turnovers, turnovers, and more turnovers

 

[aggietider]

Our defense is making opposing teams best players money every time we play.

 

[aggietider]

Didn't think we'd miss Kira this much. Nobody on this team can get Petty open, and he sure can't get himself open.

 

[cpat4bama]

Beautiful inbounds horrible miss by petty

 

[BamaLegacy]

Well he has to be better than whoever else is on the bench because he's the one Oats keep putting out there.

Reese’ stat line so far 0-4 with 1 turnover...that’s it...no rebounds, blocks, steals, nothing else. That is a problem.

I didn’t ether. Oats talked like Q always took it to Kira in practice. Then again it is practice.

Herb can't handle the ball. Petty cant hit anything 6 inches from the basket to 24 feet from the basket. Reese cant even walk. The bad thing is theyve actually got better under oats. Avery set us backs so much

Oh trust me, I'm right there with you. I just wonder how bad the guys on the bench must be not to beat him out.

 

[grichards56]

What did I miss. Where is Gary ?

Lol, they've gotten worse. To put this on anyone but the coaches there now is disingenuous to say the least.

 

[aggietider]

What did I miss. Where is Gary ?

Oats talks him up but likes to play him in garbage time.

 

[indyrtr]

Oats talks him up but likes to play him in garbage time.

Cant play him over Bruner today

 

[BamaLegacy]

Bruner giving all he’s got today...Bassey is tough

 

[aggietider]

It happened again. The kid may be a lottery pick and when he ball screens we double the ball and let him roll wide open. How it happens once, I don't know. But multiple times is just stupid.

 

[aggietider]

Herb. DUNK THE BALL!!!!!!!!!

 

[indyrtr]

Jesus herb. How can he be so incredibly bad sometimes. I mean absolutely awful.

 

[cpat4bama]

Damn Herb wide open lay up miss

 

[indyrtr]

Herb. DUNK THE BALL!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes hes a lotto pick. Sometimes a 5 year old can make the shots he misses....

 

[indyrtr]

Live and die by herb. Hilarious layup attempts today

 

[cpat4bama]

What the fvck just happened Jesus Christ

 

[indyrtr]

HERB should absolutely be ashamed today. NOBODY INDICATED GOALTEND. THAT WAS A SHOT CLOCK VIOLATION. HE SHOT AFTER THE BUZZER. COMPLETE JOKE

 

[aggietider]

When Herb Jones is your best player and he's the guy with the ball with the game on the line, you're not very good.

 

[cpat4bama]

This team is gunna struggle in conference play.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Geez ESPNU... that was terrible

 

[lgreene22]

Yeah y’all can’t watch this garbage if y’all want. This team sucks

 

[mowens75]

disappointing. Petty not hitting is a killer and Herb having to play the point isn’t good. Move on to the next one. Short memories here is necessary.

 

[KP Tider]

Turnovers=unforced errors, missed free throws. Missed layups all led to a defeat. Plus that goaltend at the end! Yeah, missed threes a lot too but could have won with some of those corrected.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

I'm sure Coach K is laughing at these L’s stacking up since Oats ran off at the mouth. Maybe next time he keeps his trap shut and goes to work on putting a better product on the court b

 

[Sassy12]

Why do we shoot threes from so deep? So many times we could catch it closer and just stay way out there...

I have also wondered why are we taking shots 5 feet behind the line. Also, maybe the 3 point shooting offense isn’t for this team as they are very streaky at hitting 3’s. We need a backup plan.

 

[aggietider]

This team is gunna struggle in conference play.

Maybe we won't have to play against as many lottery picks.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Yeah y’all can’t watch this garbage if y’all want. This team sucks

I am going to say I'm done but the truth is I will be watching the next game, hoping to see something better.
