Beautiful steal and lay in from primo . Love to see that

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

I’m glad Petty tied up his hair.

Maybe he should untie it so can make a basket.

 

[Jalynne23]

Ellis is crazy good defensively

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Jahvon Quinerly has 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting as Alabama leads Jacksonville State 27-19 with 3:59 left in the half

Reese picking up where he left off the second half of last’s season...

Man I was really hoping he’d be a different player without the nagging hip injury or whatever Was bothering him last season but he looks just as uncoordinated and damn near useless as I remember

 

[PlaidandParquet]

In Honour of the football game threads...

I'm telling you there's no way Alabama can win a national championship with defence this bad. That is fact

 

[frazor]

Remember when Dazon Ingram was on the floor and I used to say there was no reason for him to try and do anything other than shoot a three? Well, that is Reese. If he doesn't shoot the wide open three there is no reason for the ball to be in his hands.

 

[gdh1954]

Ellis is crazy good defensively

Noticed that too. He’s all over the place defensively. Seen at least one blocked shot so far

 

[gdh1954]

That’s more like it JP!!!

 

[aggietider]

Quinerly is the best player on the court by far

Don’t tell Rojas that.

 

[gdh1954]

Been pretty sloppy at times in the first half but that’s to be expected in the first game. I will say it’s extremely obvious this team has a lot more talent than last year’s team

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

I'm going to chalk up what I have seen so far to rust and first game jitters.

 

[gdh1954]

Once we settle down and start to gel a little bit more this team will be damn good.

Halftime thoughts
Gotta rebound better
Too much outta control play
Last years issue of missing too many shots at the rim seems to still be here

Announcers talking too much about stuff other than the game

We have given up a lot of open 3s

Doug shows has one of the most elegant charge call gyrations in the game

 

[gdh1954]

Definitely

 

[aggietider]

They are killing us on the offensive glass.

 

[PlaidandParquet]

I'm going to chalk up what I have seen so far to rust and first game jitters.

Playing a lot of guys and combos as well

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 36, Jacksonville State 24

Jahvon Quinerly leads the Tide with 11 points. Alabama is struggling a bit on offense but has forced 11 turnovers and held Jacksonville State to 22 percent shooting.

All of those things are true but I honestly think you can chalk it all up to first game jitters, a lot of new guys not really used to playing together, and not having set rotations just yet. I still say it’s very obvious how much more talented this team is than last year’s team. I think we’ll see a more fluid performance in the second half.

 

[mtmax]

Any idea why Bruner didn't come back in the game?

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

I like that he is using this game to find a good starting 5!

 

[BamaLegacy]

New guys carried this team in the first half, so given all the returners it is certainly a testament to the influx of talent.

 

[gdh1954]

So Darius Miles and Juwan Gary are the only ones that didn’t get in the game in that half, right?

 

[xcop]

We need to shoot much better the second half. Missed a lot of open shots. I know its the first game but we need to be on those open shots

 

[gdh1954]

Agreed. JQ’s ridiculous talent level was definitely on display. That kid is real, real good

 

[gdh1954]

They’ll start to go down more consistently in the second half and the next game. A lot of our guys are too good of shooters to keep missing open shots. We’ll be just fine in that regard. I really liked the way we played defense though.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Sometimes the other team plays so bad that you end up playing bad also!

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Lot of potential on this team. The level of athleticism at the 4 and 5 is much much higher than last year. Rojas looks excellent.

I have a feeling Keon Ellis will be fun go watch on a fast break. Seems extremely athletic

 

[PlaidandParquet]

This baldheaded daddy warbucks read referee I don't think it's blown a whistle in Alabama's favour yet This daddy warbucks bald headed Ralph I don't think is blown a whistle in our favour yet

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Been saying it for 4 years, unfortunately, but HERB HAS GOT TO GET BETTER FINISHING ATOUND THE RIM

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Nice break and finish!

 

[Crimson_bloodbath]

They are killing us from the 3 point line

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Been saying it for 4 years, unfortunately, but HERB HAS GOT TO GET BETTER FINISHING ATOUND THE RIM

He's not alone. 20 points have been left at the rim by the entire team.

 

[gdh1954]

Once we start hitting some 3’s we’ll start to pull away

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

I didn’t know you were allowed to push people with your hand when you are dribbling!

 

[PlaidandParquet]

What is Herbert Jones suddenly think hes Alex English

 

[gdh1954]

This is great to watch fellas.....we got ourselves a LEGIT point guard. JQ is a straight up baller
