GAME THREAD: No. 1 Alabama at No. 10 Tennessee

[shake_weight]

Woof. That's 11 turnovers in 15 minutes

Can’t play sloppy on the road against any sec team much less a top team.

Hoping we play better in the 2nd

Halftime: Alabama 29, Tennessee 29

Tennessee didn't make a shot over the final 4:11 of the half.

 

[aggietider]

The refs will call it tighter early in the 2nd half to get a little control of the game and emotions. Hopefully we can dig in a make a good run then.

Bama took only 21 shots due to the 12 turnovers. And getting the ball inbounds is still harder than it should be.
No cuts or screens.

Go back and watch. We screened. We screened for the screener even. That’s not the issue.

 

[aggietider]

I just watched Mark Sears shot fake and get his guy in the air. He then dribbled and instead of dribbling all the way to the next defender, he stopped and shot an open mid range shot. Y’all see that?

 

[coffee89]

Is Clowney playing tonight? I sure hopes he eventually comes alive

 

[pwestbro61]

Not seeing it. Been issue all year.

Tennessee 44, Alabama 40 | 11:58, H2

Alabama hasn't scored in 2:11 but still finds itself in this one.

 

[BAMACOASTIE]

I tired of this crap!!!!!! This is the most BS officiating I have ever seen.

 

[Secksbot]

Yikes at these calls. I’m not entirely sure the refs understand what a charge actually is.

 

[TideFanatic]

Is this the same officials they used in the football game?

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

I HATE complaining about the refs, but Bama is getting the shaft this game. At the very least this half.

 

[TideFanatic]

I’m about to T’d up here at home!

 

[BamaPJ]

Definitely a big advantage to UT the way this game is being called. What's with the charging calls? Geez

 

[coffee89]

Maybe our bigs just need to be more aggressive and make the officials blow the whistle. We are super soft down low this game.

 

[aggietider]

Not seeing it. Been issue all year.

It’s been an issue longer than a year. But the issue isn’t that we aren’t running sets and screening, like many say. We are running things, just not well.

There IS incentive for the vols to win .. so I’ll add I hate to be that conspiracy theorist that thinks the SEC wants TENN to win for better seeding

Good Lord the refs are calling this game unlike any game I’ve witnessed in the SEC this year

 

[BAMACOASTIE]

I'm glad I'm not the only one sick of watching this crap.

 

[shake_weight]

Can’t hit anything. Turnovers. Jr’s defense is shutting us down. And they want it more


Plus the officiating has been putrid

 

[onebamamaniax]

This has been tough to watch

 

[BIGRON930]

We were due a clunker and boy did we do it.

 

[onebamamaniax]

40 freaking points

 

[Codie B]

Terrible call on Miller.

 

[Tide60T]

This is a mauling! Refs are letting to do anything they want on defense!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Tennessee 58, Alabama 52 | 3:32, H2

Jaden Bradley will be at the line following the break. He's 6 of 10 from the stripe tonight.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

This is a mauling! Refs are letting to do anything they want on defense!

Kinda like Houston, because they are know as a great defensive team they are given more leeway when it comes to fouling.

 

[aggietider]

I know one reason Tennessee is so good on defense. Kinda like some of the best defensive backs were the best at getting away with holding…

 

[aggietider]

Why is JQ in the game right now?

 

[shake_weight]

Turnovers. Deer Lord

Way to play like the #1 team

 

[coffee89]

Why is JQ in the game right now?

Because Oats has mailed this game in tonight.

 

[aggietider]

We don’t practice dribbling with people pushing us enough.

 

[crimson95]

Miller is about to make a play

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Turnovers. Deer Lord

Real talk, this was going to be an alley fight no matter where Bama came in ranked. They need this win badly after losing 2 straight and are at home.

 

[BamaPJ]

This is a very frustrating game to watch. The Vols getting away with murder.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

We don’t practice dribbling with people pushing us enough.

I literally just said the same thing to my son, guess Oats needs to add dribbling while being pushed to the practice schedule.

 

[BamaPJ]

This is bullshit.

 

[TRT]

Q trying to throw the game?

 

[onebamamaniax]

Quinerly, should've never been out there after 3 turnovers has like 6 tonight

 

[aggietider]

I’m not sure we had much of a chance but playing JQ the last few minutes took whatever chance we had away.
