Game thread: No. 2 seed Alabama vs. No. 11 seed UCLA (Sweet 16)

Bama leaving this game at the free throw line. UCLA murdering Bama with the threes. Bama better man up or they going home.
 
What a nightmare of a start for us. UCLA gonna slowly blow out out of the gym if we don't adjust early in the second half.

I’d like to know the percentages of what happens when Herb post or Herb/Petty drive it. They can’t be in our favor.
 
Blowout incoming, just an abysmal start for us. And it all started on a quick second foul on Herb. We've been out of sync the whole half. We'll have to shoot some crazy % from 3 to make up this deficit the way they are shooting.
 
Missing free throws, too many sloppy turn overs and getting blowed away at the three point line. That’s only three things that need fixed.

Terrible 1st half.

This is what happens when you face a good team that doesn't just let you shoot the 3 and that is what you rely on.

The good news for Bama, we have seen them catch fire. If not, good night sweet prince.

Poor ft shooting. They are shooting the 3 better than we are. The one guy is killing us from 3. Hopefully we make some good adjustments at the half. They have made it a half court game. And I’ve said all year, our half court offense just isn’t good enough. If it wasn’t for JQ, this game would be over. I’m hoping to see a lot of 14 and 11 together. More Reese too if he isn’t banged up. Shack, Petty and Herb haven’t given us anything on offense. Petty is guarding like the DPOY though.
 
UCLA is making their foul shots, and is like 5 of their last 7 from 3 pt land. We are shooting 4-10 from the FT line, and not well from 3 pt land. Back to the 80’s and early 90’s. Once we get to the sweet 16, we crap out, even when we are by far the better squad.

Not playing Reese! or Ellis or Herb. I know Ellis and Herb have fouls, but we need to play our best players. And where is Shackelford? Can't win without Jones, Ellis, Reese, and Shack. This is causing Petty and Q to force things. Puzzling.

Looking thru my Bama glasses. I think Bama can make a run in 2nd half. Gotta stop this one on one basketball and get back to what brought them here.
