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

This was about one of the worst offensive performances of the season. We had our opportunities to win in regulation and couldn’t take advantage. UCLA did enough when it mattered
 
Game over. Terrible game. Lost at the free throw line.

Enjoyed watching them, but they did not step up for this game. Oats has a flaw, it’s calling time outs to stop the opposing team run.

Alabama dreams usually die in the sweet sixteen.

If the refs call the foul on Gary’s shot inside Bama wins. But bama didn’t make their free throws that’s the difference. Bama will be back.

We weren’t prepared mentally. We started so poorly with Herb’s fouls. I think we thought it’d be an easy game based on their seeding.

Our FT shooting has been terrible most of the season. And we are a streaky 3 point shooting team. We lack consistency so hopefully that is something we can get going forward
 
Bama lost to a 11 seed ...

absolutely schooled by Cronin and out hustled

every where on the court by UCLA...

free throws

Offensive rebounds by UCLA

Herb Jones should never shoot three point shots.. that’s coaching

and UCLA defended in the half court better than we did and always had an answer with a set of quick hitter
 
Bama guys just did not step their game up tonight. Not sure why but it was tough loss.

Maybe next year. But this team had it at their fingertips. Just could not handle the moment.

Can't base the season on one game even when it hurts When we lost to West Ky I thought the season was over.
You can literally base the season on one game when your in the nCAA tournament ...right?
So I don’t get your point
 
was a fun ride, shouldn't have even been a contest, but we flat out blew it

Petty going cold this past month really crippled the team offensively

No excuse for ever shooting that poorly at the line at this level. That's some JV type stuff there.

Hopefully everyone that is eligible returns for next season, and we keep our coach

And hopefully mich blasts ucla tuesday

that’s why I don’t really watch until the SEC tournament; everything up to that point is basically a dress rehearsal for the finale
