Never seen a 30th win at Bama. I'm ready.

Never seen a 30th win at Bama. I'm ready.

35 wins would be even better!

 

[StablerCountry]

35 wins would be even better!

I hope we all get to watch it hit number 35 this year.

I’m a meeting, can’t watch. Need play by play

Noah Gurley got his wish. Furman upsets Virginia.

Gah! Watching Furman play with so much confidence and reckless abandon now has me worried.

 

[James Benedetto]

That West Virginia-Maryland game was close. I'm predicting more of a blowout as Alabama takes on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. What are your score predictions for this afternoon's game?

I'm expecting an Alabama blowout as well.

 

[xcop]

I am sooo tired of the lead in every game is about the shooting. Next the ywill tell us Joe Biden is President and the sky is blue.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama wins the opening tip, and we're off!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Noah Clowney starts off by hitting his first two 3s to put Alabama up 8-0

 

[aggietider]

I hope Clowney is a 1st round pick after the tournament is over. If so, we probably win it all.

I think he will be regardless, but this tournament will no doubt be big for him.

Alabama 9, TAMCC 4 | 15:47, H1

Noah Clowney has 7 of Alabama's 9 points and is 2 of 3 from beyond the arc.

 

[Vaughnbama]

I think the start came to easy for the Tide and they have been a little lackluster the last three times down court.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Nick Pringle is in the game. I expect him to eat this team alive with his size and athleticism.

 

[aggietider]

It looked like Oats just called Clowney over and said “you got 1 rebound?”

 

[Vaughnbama]

This game is made for Bradley. I think he can drive the lane at will.

Maybe not.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

This game is made for Bradley. I think he can drive the lane at will.

Or Chuck. They have no answer for him down low.

 

[aggietider]

Griffin is starting to believe again…playing with some confidence.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Griffin is starting to believe again…playing with some confidence.

I think he has the nicest stroke on the team.

Alabama 22, TAMCC 15 | 11:15, H2

The Islanders have made their last three shots and are hanging with the Crimson Tide.

Alabama is 5 of 7 from 3.

 

[vegas man]

Can we get a stop on defense? This is what worries me. They get more confidence as the game goes along.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Noah Clowney picks up his third foul with 10:08 left in the first half.

 

[aggietider]

Noah Clowney picks up his third foul with 10:08 left in the first half.

I didn’t think that was a charge. Defender went into him. And Oats didn’t even know he had two fouls according to TV.

 

[vegas man]

Noah Clowney picks up his third foul with 10:08 left in the first half.

He's got to stop with the dribble reach fouls.

 

[Vaughnbama]

Missouri is looking good.

 

[aggietider]

They just showed JQ’s injury for last year. He looks lighter this year doesn’t he?

 

[Vaughnbama]

Maybe Sears has the swagger back. three nice shots

 

[aggietider]

These announcers kill me. He just said we weee in a 2-3 zone didn’t he?

Alabama 37, TAMCC 23 | 7:20, H2

Alabama has made its last five shots and is 8 of 11 from beyond the arc. Mark Sears has 9 points on 3 of 3 shooting from deep.

Alabama 37, TAMCC 23 | 7:20, H2

Alabama has made its last five shots and is 8 of 11 from beyond the arc. Mark Sears has 9 points on 3 of 3 shooting from deep.

We need Sears to get his shot back if Bama is going to make a run.

I’m glad we are shooting it. They are scoring at a higher clip than we’ve been giving up.

 

[aggietider]

Pringle jumps really high really fast.
