Alabama is on a 6-0 run to lead Oakland 21-13 with 10:30 in the half. Charles Bediako just drew a loud cheer with a dunk on a dish from JD Davison.
JD getting the defensive reb and pushing it to throw the lob to the five man…that’s nice.
Alabama is on an 11-2 run and leads Oakland 26-15 with 7:36 to play. Oakland is in a 2:44 scoring drought. Alabama is 4 of 12 from beyond the arc.
It wasn't much but Holts few minutes were nice..3 rebs and good D
Alabama leads Oakland 30-19 with 3:59 left in the half. Oakland has made just one of its last 13 shots from the floor.
Halftime: Alabama 38, Oakland 26
Jaden Shackelford and Jahvon Quinerly have 12 points apiece for the Tide.

Great 1st half by the Tide! We have 6 really good players and if we can get anything out of Miles, Gurley, Ambrose, Holt and Tchixkou it’s just a bonus. We will need some of those guys and so far Miles has shown some promise.
I should say Miles has shown some good. Not so much tonight. Holt played some good defense tonight and Gurley has been ok if you take away the turnovers so guess he’s not been great. Haha! It’s still moving just a little fast for him, but hoping he can improve and be a pivotal player on this team.
Thought so too. If he can guard like that and knock down some open 3’s…we really shouldn’t need anything else from him at all.
I think Gurley has a good chance of being better than Bruner. His ceiling seems fairly high.
Same for JD. When those two start knocking the open 3’s down, the defense will have to choose and they’ll be wrong a lot.
Jaden Shackelford became the 53rd Alabama player to record 1,000 points in his Crimson Tide career
Alabama leads Oakland 80-51 with 3:23 remaining. Oakland hasn't made a shot in nearly four minutes.
Great win tonight!!! Played a lot of players tonight and looked great on defense tonight. Glad to see Tchikou get some minutes late.
We have a bunch of walk one don’t we? Just saw Rojas, will he be about 30 during the season next year?
Had no clue how to pronounce him name until tonight. Still not 100% sure.
JQ is a damn wizard with the basketball. The only reason he may not play in the nba is size. Dudes handles and stuff he does around the rim have nba written all over them
It wasn't much to see. I'll say from his movement he might be out of shape but didn't see anything positive that stood out but he really didn't have opportunities to do much. Just didn't appear super athletic.
Size? Two former NBA players might disagree with you...Tiny Nate Archibald & Spud Web (won the dunk competition), both shorter than JQ.
This is not my evaluation lol. I just think that has to be the knock on him. Looks like an nba guard to me
Yea but the NBA is a very special cult that I have never quit understood.
The only thing I get is that if you're young elite athlete with a special skill or talent, you're in but if you're an elite scorer or great basketball player who knows what that means.
If the exact Quinerly we know dunked one time from the free throw line boom top 5 pick.
Q will play in the league, but IMO his role will be determined by his shooting. If Q is shooting 40%+ percent then he has all the tools to be a lead guard because he has shown to have great wiggle, a good eye for distributing the basketball and is a willing defender.
He isn’t going to be a Ja Morant, Westbrook, or even a De’Aaron Fox because those guys are elite athletes, but if he can show the consistency shooting that those guys lack, then he has the tools to lead and will get paid for it.
