Game thread: No. 10 Alabama at No. 18 Missouri

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying about Herb having the ball. I think JQ or Ellis should have had those last 3 possessions somehow. And that last full court play with 3-4 seconds, it looked like JQ was setting a flare or something for Shack. Why don’t we run that for Petty instead of Shack? And why run it to Shack on the left side where he’s moving left when he catches it? That has his body turned the wrong way to catch and shoot.

Agree completely. Oats has done a great job overall- but some of the design plays out of time ours are head shaking.

Herb is just such a weird finisher at the basket. He doesn’t play 6’8” down there, he plays 5’8”

He barely jumps. You couldn't slip a dollar under his foot. He also needs to learn how to pump fake before going up in traffic. At 6"8 he should be slamming it home!

‘I thought the same thing at the end of the game. If he attempts the slam, they foul him and we get 2 points.instead, it leaves his hands and it gets blocked.

Correct me if I am wrong but I am sure I heard an interview this week with CNO and he said that Herb was maybe 75%. Herb didn't even practice this week. There is no question when healthy he is one of the best athletes on the team.

I didn't get to watch the game with my sons playing travel ball, I recorded it but like the last couple Bama lost that i recorded, I refuse to watch it. So I don't know how Herb looked out there, but in the last game he was limping noticeably to me.
