Game thread: No. 2 seed Alabama vs. No. 15 seed Iona

[onebamamaniax]

Oats is pissed and rightfully so

 

[aggietider]

Oats took a timeout! He’s mad. And that defensive asst is too. Not sure who they are mad at but they took him out.

 

[adsmith4]

Oats is furious

 

[shake_weight]

Iona isn’t shooting great and they’re hanging with us

and they’re playing a walk-on that’s barely played

 

[shake_weight]

Petty needs to be benched. He just ain’t got it

 

[banksie1186]

Jesus I can't wait for these seniors to be gone. Our three worst players are seniors. Petty, Reese, and Bruner. Why would Bruner ever take a three?

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Hopefully this is just a scare that gets them focus. But there is a reason I didn't have faith this team would get pass the Sweet 16.

 

[onebamamaniax]

Iona is not a good team, this first half is sad

 

[banksie1186]

I'm glad Herb came to play. They'd be getting smoked without him right now

 

[aggietider]

Jesus I can't wait for these seniors to be gone. Our three worst players are seniors. Petty, Reese, and Bruner. Why would Bruner ever take a three?

Bc he can shoot the 3? You’re selling all 3 of them short.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Iona 28-25 with 3:48 to play in the half.

Iona has made 5 of its last 7 shots

Alabama has been able to take advantage of a 21-10 advantage on the boards.

My goodness more of this? Really?

We can tell you didn't watch much Bama basketball, or your a troll

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Still think we catch fire soon

 

[aggietider]

Gary has to give us something.

All three of them are below average offensive players. If Petty is hot, he's great, but that's about one out of ten games. Bruner and Reese are ok defensively but contribute basically nothing on offense

 

[cpat4bama]

Gunna have to clean up the free throws

 

[banksie1186]

Who's worse than those three right now?

 

[shake_weight]

Petty can’t even hit his FT’s

 

[EugDan]

I hate when a cold player coming off the bench and taking an immediate shot

 

[shake_weight]

A ginger walk-on is leading his team to a potential upset

 

[aggietider]

All three of them are below average offensive players. If Petty is hot, he's great, but that's about one out of ten games. Bruner and Reese are ok defensively but contribute basically nothing on offense

You’re comparing them to some other elite team. They have all helped Bama get to where they are this year.

 

[mowens75]

Might need to sit Petty for awhile. Maybe it will fire him up.

 

[aggietider]

They need to clean up the charge/flops. It gets old.

 

[StablerCountry]

Leaving too many FT points out there.

 

[aggietider]

Why not let JQ guard the walk on? We need him on the court. He isn’t the best defender. So put him on their worst guard.

 

[shake_weight]

Omg petty

he’s not even hitting the rim

 

[cpat4bama]

Can’t end a half much worse then that

 

[banksie1186]

My God Petty can barely hit the rim at this point

 

[StablerCountry]

Sloppy basketball to finish the half.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Petty is trying to cost us the game. Holy shit man

 

[aggietider]

I love Herb and Petty. But one thing I won’t miss about them are the jr high turnovers they make.

 

[MobileBama]

Iona is out hustling us with freshmen and a walk-on

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 33, Iona 32.

Iona heads into the break riding a 7-0 run

Herbert Jones leads Alabama with 12 points on 5 of 9 shooting.

 

[shake_weight]

Doing everything we can to pull an Ohio st

 

[xcop]

Will CNO slap somebody at the break???

 

[onebamamaniax]

Jeez!!!!

 

[mowens75]

Our seniors are rattled and looking horrible. We have the lead so let’s come out in the 2nd and act like the #2 seed.

 

[shake_weight]

10 turnovers in the 1H. Pitiful

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Petty and Reese have absolutely no reason to see the court lately (Reese all year). if we want to stick it out it has to be JQ, SHACK, ELLIS, HERB, GARY/BRUNER. Gotta play the newer guys that play hard.
