GAME THREAD: No. 2 Alabama at Oklahoma in the Big 12/SEC Challenge
- Thread starter Tony_Tsoukalas
- Start date
I didn’t see to see one second of the first half. But I see we’ve come out of halftime not being able to get the ball inbounds.
Oklahoma 57, Alabama 44 | 15:39, H2
Alabama has made five of its last six shots to trim the deficit.

Lets chip away Bama! Cut the lead to 5 by the 10 minute mark! Get physical down low to many easy layups! And drive the ball with kick out opportunities dont just settle for deep shots! Get Choklahoma in foul trouble!
We weren’t sure how to guard that inbound with movement and real screens. We don’t see things like that in practice.
Why the hell is Pringle not playing.......he's by far the most physical player on this team........and thats what this team needs right now!
They looked like that before Wednesday’s game. They looked tired and I thought that being home brought back the last week’s troubles. I wonder if a significant loss will take some of the pressure of the high ranking off them as they fall in the polls. This is a very young lead team and the season is long. Plus, they have had some rather unusual circumstances to handle. I hope they can refocus and have less a target on their backs as they gear up for the second half of the conference schedule. That will tell the tale, Can they regroup and focus on playing their best games against UT, Aubie, TAMU and the others.
You look at their schedule and see they’ve lost 3 to 4 games by 1 point to very good teams .. Kansas etc
I’m going to change the channel for a little while and see if that helps
True, but it still is not going to look good to the tournament committee come seeding time when they see us getting blown out by 20 points to a team who shouldn’t even make the tournament. Though, our issues as a team are much bigger than that concern right now.

It won’t hurt nearly as bad as you think. An L is an L and just about every team in the country has as least on head scratcher or two.
Just don’t let this type of game become a trend and Bama is fine.
At least Gurley has some fight in him.. I’d have done the same thing ..
Beat me to it. They were just sealing the game.
This is what happens when team one team is called for touch fouls and they other is allowed to be overly physical. Bama has played poorly but the refs are in the bag on this one!
Oklahoma 78, Alabama 55 | 7:41, H2
Alabama has missed its last seven shots and hasn't hit a FG in 4:31

Well, I am out. The team better fix their shooting issues and decide to play defense again, or this is going to become more common place than just today. I can’t recall seeing us play this bad in some time. As bad an effort as a team can give.
Be a great time for Saban to announce a hire!
This is the way it will be in the ncaa
By the way, the refs have nothing to do with bama giving up points a nearly 70% shooting clip to Oklahoma
This team is playing lazy defense and I mean everyone from Brandon Miller to quinelry is giving about 50% effort
That’s why bama is getting humbled by Oklahoma
Wrong/ as in very. Defensive effort by Bama today had been pathetic. Brought nothing today. And that is on the players.
Never said they did. But the dust up is all on the refs. We haven't played well but I do expect the refs to their jobs.
Never said we played well or it is all on the refs. We deserve to lose the way we have played. Refs should do their job and not be wildly inconsistent. They officiating caused the dust up.
No they didn’t. Bama had the ball and the bearded lady tried taking it away. Bradley resisted and Okie came in and Gurley then pushed him.
Correct unfortunately. No ref can do enough to make a team get waxed by 30 to an average opponent that they allowed to shoot 70%. I had more enthusiasm and fight when the wife dragged me to the opera than Bama displayed today.
Once again I never said the refs were the reason we were losing. The altercation under the goal is all on the refs. The first foul should never have been called and nothing would have resulted. They were allowed over the course of the game to get away with physical illegal picks/screens.
