There is no reason it should be any other way.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

I hope Oats have talked to this team about doing the “3 gun” celebration after making a 3. It want go over well.

 

[TideFanatic]

SC fans very classy😡

Brandon Miller is getting booed every time he touches the ball.

The team needs to clear the distractions, their heads are not in the game tonight. With that said, a lot of time left.

Quinerly does the same thing, there was a time that that was called, but not anymore.

BTW, is Bradley told to go out and check somebody 35 feet from the goal or does he do it on his own? He seems to get a worthless foul called on him for doing that way to often.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

 

[pwestbro61]

Self induced distractions. Do not like the body language I am seeing. Nor the effort.

South Carolina 24, Alabama 23 | 5:15

Brandon Miller leads Alabama with 10 points on 3 of 5 shooting, including 2 of 4 from beyond the arc.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

The game is stopped due to a fight in the crowd. Not a great look for SC

South Carolina 24, Alabama 23 | 5:15

Brandon Miller leads Alabama with 10 points on 3 of 5 shooting, including 2 of 4 from beyond the arc.

Miller is pissed right now.

Definitely. It's fun to watch him vs. GG

 

[Dpeterson26]

Every time JQ is in the game it mess up everything. ****!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pwestbro61]

Quinnerly is awful right now..

 

[coastalbarry]

That last dunk by Miller might have been his best all season…insane

 

[aggietider]

?

Judging by what I’ve read, I don’t think he deserves anything in legal terms. But he deserves to be booed every night. He needs to remember how stupid it was to be there and how he could have pissed his whole life away.

 

[aggietider]

Why did the game go to commercial mid play?

 

[aggietider]

This is one of those nights everything is going right for them. Not sure we can do enough if it keeps going like this.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

This half was what Nate Oats was afraid of. I think Alabama comes out and takes care of business after the break.

 

[jmillerbama]

Un****inbelievable! Even God dont want us winning this game with all these bullshit shots falling. I had a feeling this was coming!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

South Carolina shot 56% from the floor in the first half, including 5 of 10 from beyond the arc.

 

[aggietider]

I’ve never learned how to post a picture. Sears mom posted on Facebook. She’s mad he hasn’t played much tonight. Doesn’t seem like she’s a big Oats fan. She said the scouts are there tonight. Guess she doesn’t watch many if she thinks the scouts are only there tonight.

3 of those had no business going in.

I hope he gets booed every time he touches the ball for the remainder of the season because if you are a true competitor which he is you absolutely love pissing off the opposing fans.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

I missed the last minute and half because of this crap

 

[pwestbro61]

South Carolina shooting completely out of their ass. Ridiculous.

Someone needs to tell her if he did not pick up those 2 stupid early fouls he would have been on the floor more.

ROLL TIDE!!!!
