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

Get Petty out now!

 

[xcop]

Petty playing worse as we start

 

[majorwood482]

Petty almost missed a damn layup

 

[cpat4bama]

Pettys hurt

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

PETTY isn't even good enough to sit the bench today

 

[onebamamaniax]

All the height advantage and shooting bad shots

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Petty has lost it mentally. Gotta sit him

 

[majorwood482]

Lol i get you make a nice block but if you hit the dude in the face also its still a foul

 

[aggietider]

I'm not placing blame on anyone. It is what it is. Some players still have lazy habits that come out and wouldn't you know it, all these players played under CAJ. Coincidence? I think not. Oats is a goat and has brought very limited talent to indy as a 2 seed. honestly crazy good coaching

I’ll take Oats over AJ 100% of the time. But Oats has had those guys longer than AJ. They’ve played deeper and practice more than AJ did. I don’t blame AJ for many of their habits. I just think that’s part of who they are and it isn’t changing.

 

[aggietider]

what? the / clearly states one or the other. Gotta play them the most minutes the 2nd half and its an easy dub. just like when that lineup is in most times.

I meant 6 guys the whole game. You’re suggesting we never play Petty, Reese or Bruner? That leaves us pretty limited with numbers.

 

[cpat4bama]

Lol i get you make a nice block but if you hit the dude in the face also its still a foul

Yea can’t believe that wasn’t called. I real time in looked like a block, but when you slow it down it was a foul.

 

[shake_weight]

Petty is the best player on ionas team

 

[shake_weight]

Pettys injury was a perfect opportunity to put him on the bench. But no we’re gonna ride him all the way to an L

 

[Sweetlou10]

I’ve never seen such a great player absolutely fall apart mentally so quickly

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Primo needed to take petty’s minutes

 

[onebamamaniax]

I'm having flashbacks of past bama teams

 

[mmcolburn]

Petty hurt his elbow! He needs to come out!

 

[cpat4bama]

That’s a shooting foul!

 

[banksie1186]

Nice defense Reese. Way to leave your feet

 

[BamaLegacy]

Bama shooting 15% from 3pt....where did our shooters go? Playing really hard, but the shooting is atrocious.

 

[shake_weight]

Out hustled

they want it more

 

[banksie1186]

Primo needed to take petty’s minutes

? You know Primo is hurt right?

 

[shake_weight]

This is hard to watch. We couldn’t play any worse.

 

[banksie1186]

Ross is the best player on the court by far. Kinda sad they're allowing one guy to destroy them like this

 

[aggietider]

They are taking care of the ball and getting better shots as a whole. Their half court offense looks like a nice big juicy steak and ours looks like Ramon noodles.

 

[banksie1186]

2-7 from the line for Petty. Lol

 

[AirBoozehound]

Of course we wait for the Big Dance to play our worst game of the year.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

That layup ended a three and a half minute drought for Alabama.

 

[shake_weight]

We are laughably bad

 

[banksie1186]

I mean we can't stop anything they do right now. Gotta play with more intensity

 

[cpat4bama]

Can’t shoot threes and can’t get to the rim without getting blocked. Somethings got to give.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Iona 45-44 with 9:59 to play.

Alex Reese hit a 3 to snap nine straight misses from beyond the arc for the Tide.

 

[aggietider]

Gary, Reese and/or Rojas are going to have to make some plays in this game down the stretch. I

 

[onebamamaniax]

My head hurts

 

[50 Pesos]

Petty is the best player on ionas team

Maybe he will foul out.

 

[StablerCountry]

This game is hard to watch. I hope these last ten minutes goes Bama’s way. Enough FT points left out there to have a 10 point lead. Worst shooting all year by everyone not named Herb.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

I don’t like this one bit. We pissed away opportunities to blow them out, and when you let them hang around the pressure builds and this shit happens.

 

[jmillerbama]

Why the hell are we so afraid to play Darius Miles? See if he can spark this damn offense!

 

[BamaLegacy]

Petty has taken 20 shots (8 FTs included) and made 6...3 FTs and 3 layups...with 4 TOs and 3 fouls...that’s is amazingly rough

 

[shake_weight]

Petty is out. We have a chance
