Clowney, Sears and Quinnerly are no shows tonight. Distractions of this week are evident. Was afraid of this tonight.
GAME THREAD: No. 2 Alabama at South Carolina
- Thread starter Tony_Tsoukalas
- Start date
It’s a ridiculous post. But there’s no way it’s only about tonight. Problem is crap like that eventually filters down into the players heads too. My favorite part is she was like of course bc the scouts were there tonight he sat him bc of two mangley fouls. She called it political. Even though there are scouts at every last game he’s played in this season. He could have stayed where he was and played in front of no scouts.
I’m not sure the distractions caused them to make circus shots. I’m sure it’s affected the team but it’s more of them making more than one or two crazy shots.
R-E-L-A-X. South Carolina shot out of their minds in the first half, zero chance they will come close to duplicating that in the second half.
She’s a mom, nothing about this is a surprise or a big deal. Her son is probably the second most important player on the team so her posting on FB is a none factor.
I sure wish you would tell them that. I thought I was watching the 84 Lakers the first half.

If you complain to your son about his coach, it’s a factor. It gets in their head and they start to believe it to at some point. She didn’t just post this out of the blue tonight. It’s how she feels about Oats obviously. Maybe it never affects Sears but saying it doesn’t matter isn’t exactly right.
Again she’s a mom, every mom to include the mom of the worst player on the team thinks their sons should be getting more minutes and shots.
Sears has been playing basketball long enough to know it’s just a mom doing what mothers do. I nor you or anyone else has seen anything from Sears that would remotely suggest he has any problems with how he’s being handled by the coaches.
It’s like fans look to create drama sometimes.

Brandon Miller has 25 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 5 of 9 from beyond the arc.

This team can’t protect the ball for anything
Unless that changes it’ll be an early exit in March

Brandon Miller has 28 points on 9 of 17 shooting. He is 5 of 10 from beyond the arc while the rest of the Crimson Tide is 1 of 11 from deep.

We just need to settle in and go on a little run and we could take this thing over. Wouldn’t take a huge run.
A loss tonight and it will cost them the SEC title. And the national media and every fan base will smile.
We don’t shoot the mid range so we play like nobody else does either sometimes. And why do we have to guard the guy at half court right there?
One thing I’m certain that Miller is ready for in terms of the NBA…in his mind, he never fouls and he always gets fouled.
Ever seen anybody not take the ball out of bounds after a basket? He just took the ball and threw it like it was live. So odd. And Miller is a monster.
At least we got the win!
The way shots were dropping for them I was sure this was just one of those games where someone has a Garcia moment against us. This SCe team may lose their remaining games by an average of 30 points but tonight they were hitting some crazy stuff. That half court shot was just stupid.
The whole team was in a funk and of all players Miller seemed to be the only one playing with energy. Really worried now that the timing of everything is going to be this season's Bama basketball moment.
We gotta get Clowney straightened out. I hoped tonight he would show out but he's still off. Not sure if he's trying too hard or lost all confidence.
We can't have nights like this where all of our guards stink it up. Sears, JQ, Bradley... none of them were doing much good for us. Miller and Bediako carried this one.

I didn’t think that game was EVER going to end. Good grief!
Momma's going to be momma.
Sears played 35 minutes tonight. Miller played 43 minutes, Bradley played 35 minutes, and Bediako 33. Not exactly like he was benched. Maybe she has a point that he wasn't running point for most of the game but he was playing.
That call at the end of the game was terrible! His foot was definitely out of bounds and then threw it away! It should have been our ball! But we won and thats all that matters! Miller was Thanos tonight! With a two handed jam i havent seen since the NBA JAM game!😂🤣
Griffin has been on fire for weeks and never once shot the ball tonight… that’s a problem.
Huge win and one of the most impressive performances I have ever seen. This beats Sexton 3 on 5 showdown in my book.
Yeah, I still laugh remembering Sexton when he was shooting free throws with no teammates on the line he would go through the motions as if he had teammates there to give him five.
I thought for a few minutes they might find a way to win it, but in the end just could not get there.
I don’t know. That 3 on 5 game was amazing and against a better team.
It was amazing, but I think Pitino Jr called off the dogs before he realized what Sexton could do. I just feel like when everybody in America is basically cheering against you, you go and drop a career high and game winner. Tough to write a better story.
