LETS GOOOOO!!!

 

[shake_weight]

please don’t put petty back In. Please

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

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

not at all. Clearly said 2nd half. Also as long as its most minutes. Also, I hope Reese keeps proving me freaking wrong. I just know the future is much brighter than even our season and talent this year.

 

[50 Pesos]

Nice flurry of points!

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Petty sits, bama jumps out

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

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

what's he gonna do? potentially miss a 3? we been doing that all game already. I feel the same you do on miles and also for Ambrose.

 

[biggoop]

Keep Petty on the bench

 

[StablerCountry]

Don’t knock Resse , he has us back in this game. Two big threes.

Yes. But these guys are what we have now. That isn’t changing. And Ellis hasn’t given us a thing today.

Huge boost by Reese...Bama needed someone to step up and Reese and Qm making shots leads to a Herb steal and dunk...TO Gaels

 

[cpat4bama]

That was a push off!!! That’s 3 on JQ

 

[aggietider]

Put JQ on that little walk on. Why’s it so hard to figure that out?

 

[Bocat69]

Iona doesn't have enough depth. There shots will not fall down the stretch. There legs are spent. Time to turn up the tempo.

 

[sipsey37]

Mustache REESE is 💰 lol let's go

 

[aggietider]

We’ve made the same amount of 3’s. +16 in the paint. And lead by only 8. They are killing us in the midrange I guess.

 

[cpat4bama]

Geez that was a weak call on JQ

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Can I get a +/- on petty?

 

[aggietider]

JQ should be the only one allowed to throw the lob.

 

[shake_weight]

We begin dominating and decide to bring petty back in to help Iona get back in it

 

[shake_weight]

Can I get a +/- on petty?

He’s playing like a guy with - 2 arms

 

[cpat4bama]

You can’t box out anymore? Clean box out by Gary called a foul.

 

[3travious]

Can petty stop attempting shots please?

 

[cpat4bama]

We begin dominating and decide to bring petty back in to help Iona get back in it

It wasn’t cause he wanted to. JQ has 4, but coming back in now.

 

[TideFever]

We just have to not give them points and make free throws and we should win. Going to get scary if they hit a 3 point shot or two.

 

[StablerCountry]

Put JQ back in and let him play.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

You can’t box out anymore? Clean box out by Gary called a foul.

Yea WTF was that? Gary was boxing out and the other guy was all over him and Gary gets called.

 

[xcop]

At some point JP has got to get back to hitting at least some of his shots. The next team we play will be much better than Iona.

 

[cpat4bama]

Yea WTF was that? Gary was boxing out and the other guy was all over him and Gary gets called.

Ridiculous

 

[bama42]

They'll start falling for Petty. Hes just in a slump. We make alot of stupid decisions and that's more of a concern to me. Finishing around the rim is horrible.

 

[cpat4bama]

Gary gets poked in the eye and gets called for the foul!!!

 

[banksie1186]

Jesus man make your fvcking free throws

 

[100%Bama]

Jones carrying team

 

[mowens75]

win!

 

[Holt Ironman]

How many times has Petty been playing with his hair when the ball was thrown into play? At least 3 times I have counted?

 

[cpat4bama]

Live to fight another day

 

[aggietider]

Defense won that one in the 2nd half. And aside from JQ and Herb, Reese and Gary made winning plays down the stretch.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

JQ back gonna hurt from carrying us these last 6 games. Oats is a LEGEND for doing this with this team.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Yes. But these guys are what we have now. That isn’t changing. And Ellis hasn’t given us a thing today.

Ellis plays such a vital role on d that is often overlooked. OATS is an absolution legend for taking this specific team and having the season they've had. wow.

 

[shake_weight]

Well at least we’re not one and done

 

[StablerCountry]

Charles Barkley called it. Said Bama would win by 12, probably 14 at the half.
