JQ could really help us if he’d quit shooting stupid shots and turning the ball over.
GAME THREAD: Mississippi State at No. 2 Alabama
- Thread starter James Benedetto
- Start date
Half court defense bama has some players losing their man .. this is uncharacteristic
Problem is, we win doing it the same way. It’s just when we can’t make shots or it’s a great defense, it can look terrible.
It’s like they are pressing or something. We keep getting 2 guys on the ball and leaving someone wide open.
If there is a worse team inbounding the ball in the state of Alabama, I haven’t seen them. And I watch a whole lot of jr high and high school basketball.
The way the game is going our only real chance of pulling this out may be at the free throw line. Every time we get some momentum going they hit a shot and we have a dumb play or turnover.
MSU is doing a good job of just being in the neighborhood to scare us out of 3 point shots. We've probably turned down half a dozen 3 pointers this half.
If we could get 2 or 3 quick 3s like we did at Bud Walton it would really change the game and we could run away from them. We just can't get them to go in when we actually shoot them.

When we try to run something, it’s no better. Our screens suck. We don’t know how to punish a switch. And our inbounders don’t do a good job either. Terrible combination.
I would not have guessed that no Bama player would have a good night tonight. Just one hot shooter would help
The in bounds thing is just weird for a team as quick and long as we are. Someone needs to steal some in bound sets before tournament time and we need to wear them out in practice. A little something like that will beat us in a tight tournament game.
The cold shooting tonight is like the flu, highly contagious.

It’s like we don’t know if we are switching or not and both guys end up going with the same guy. Don’t understand what’s going on.
What is that Gatorade the basketball team drinks? It’s not the normal kind you buy from the store.
Told y'all to relax, this team has that fight in them. It's not going to go your way every night, that's basketball. But they will fight you till the end.
JQ needs to take more mid range. He looks so good from there and he passes them up and drives into bad shots.
Pringle needs to play more. I know he's not necessarily as good as his numbers say he is, but he needs more minutes.
Not sure where he’d get the minutes but he does good things when he plays. I think Gurley has played really well in this 2nd half.
