Game Thread: No. 18 Alabama vs. No. 20 UConn (Phil Knight Invitational)
- Thread starter James Benedetto
- Start date
We have to figure out how to get certain guys shots. Running something out of a timeout for Bediako is a waste of all that time in a timeout. It takes him about 2 seconds to catch and gather himself to be able to shoot a layup.
Zebras ain’t gonna let these boys play. Absolutely killing the flow of the game
It’s so much harder to guard them bc of the constant movement and motion. Our help defenders are scrambling. Their help defenders are in the paint just waiting on us while we stand there and stare at the ball.
Back to last year's turnover kings. Just when I thought we had a different team. Blah.
We’ve just let them dictate the pace of this game so much. Miller has been quieted and that’s hurt us
Long as quinerly is running point it’s gonna look the same. Every time he’s running point I see last year’s offense
I hate big guys that play small as **** and Bama has a team full of them! They have been dominated by Uconn
Physical basketball. Bama has not physical post play. Just like I said the other day. Get pushed around.
Time to open up the offense and shoot some 3’s and risk a blowout or potential comeback
Bama just couldn’t handle the physical play by UConn…it’s a lesson, but they just straight punked Bama’s team tonight and made them look weak
Bradley looks better handling the point as a true freshman than JQ in his like 6th year of college basketball
Lol I guess Kansas and North Carolina suck too… it’s early. This is a good lesson for the team.
Whoever said Bama is better than UConn was slightly wrong. What a meltdown. But we have seen this before.
Bama basketball as it is.
Miller completely taken out of game.

Nothing is changing offensively. But we should watch UCONN and their ability to get open shots and to keep the help occupied and such. Our biggest problem is there will almost always be help bc our guys off the ball are never going to move. So the help defenders have it easy. They can have 2 defenders on 3 on the help side and be just fine.
And Gurley and Bediako. Put those 4 out there together and we’d turn it over more than we’d shoot.
Geez y’all acting like losing tonight to a trash team. UConn is a veteran team that’s now 7-0 and likely top 10 bound. Calm down guys geez… I mean we haven’t looked good tonight but we are starting 4 new guys on this team and we have looked very good until tonight.
It’s looking completely inept the last 9 minutes. Total meltdown. This looks a lot like last year sadly.
You are wrong in so many ways!!! We had so many turnovers in the first half. That alone was subpar Basketball. And you don’t recover from those habits. Good teams force those turnovers. And UCONN forced them tonight. Same OLE BAMA Basketball
Totally disgusted with tonight's performance. Hope it gets better or we're in for another long season.
