I love this Arkansas uniform

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

 

[xcop]

I will feel better when we hit a couple of layups......

 

[TideFanatic]

Arky playing dirty already. The Arky guy got in Clowney‘s face screaming and a no call.
in the fight for the loose ball and Arky starts fighting while on the floor and no call.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Jahvon Quinerly and Arkansas' Anthony Black whistled for technical fouls with 14:12 left in the first half. The fouls offset, so it will be just Quinerly to the line because he was fouled.

 

[aggietider]

Why is Rylan running the point there?

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama 21, Arkansas 16 | 6:18, H2

Arkansas has made just one of its last 11 shots from the floor.

 

[aggietider]

Sometimes we are so insistent on throwing the ball ahead and we throw it to a guy running with a defender waiting 10 feet in front of him that’s 100% going to take a charge.

 

[budog]

Quinerly not playing is bizarre as hell right now, he looked fantastic. Maybe 2 fouls or maybe he said something smart after the T, but not sure why he is not playing.

ROLL TIDE!!!

ROLL TIDE!!!

He’s getting his legs back under him it seems. The last 2 games he’s started kinda getting where he wants when he wants at times.

 

[aggietider]

If Gurley can’t make the 3, he can’t play the 4.

 

[budog]

If Gurley can’t make the 3, he can’t play the 4.

Post of the night!!

ROLL TIDE!!!!

 

[budog]

I realize Coach knows this team, but is tonight really the night to try and get Welch’s confidence back? There is no doubt that the guy can play, but he just looks a step or two behind.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

 

[StablerCountry]

Sears hot. Where is Miller?

ROLL TIDE!!!!

Beat me to it…have not seen Welch make a single shot since he’s been back

 

[aggietider]

Pringle is about to get his chance. Charles and Clowney with 3 fouls in the first half.

 

[BaselineLeaner4]

We are in serious trouble I’m afraid

ROLL TIDE!!!!

Agreed. Not a game to try and knock the rust off

 

[RammerJammer210]

Free throws have killed us

 

[budog]

Free throws have killed us

We have missed 8 and they have missed 7

ROLL TIDE!!!!

 

[aggietider]

Has Miller even taken a shot?

 

[mmcolburn]

This game is making me very uneasy!!!

 

[aggietider]

What a possesssion to end the half. Let Gurley touch the ball and who knows what will happen.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 33, Arkansas 33

Mark Sears hit a layup right before the half to tie things up for the Crimson Tide. He already has 12 points, giving him double-digit scoring in nine of his last 10 games.

 

[RammerJammer210]

Has Miller even taken a shot?

Nope

 

[aggietider]

Nope

Looks like Auburn freezing out their top 5 pick last year. Run sets over and over with him screening and moving so he can get a look.

Think that was Dom

 

[coastalbarry]

Miller didn’t take a single shot, we missed a lot of FTs, we had people taking bad shots (Bediako 3), and we’re still tied. Just need to find a flow on offense and we should win by double figures

 

[xcop]

Get Miller involved and we win by 8 .

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Think that was Dom

Yeah, my bad.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Brandon Miller finally gets on the board with a layup to put Alabama up 35-33.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Charles Bediako picks up his fourth foul with 17:37 to play.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama 55, Arkansas 48 | 11:59, H2

Alabama has made its last four shots and is on a 6-0 run over the last 52 seconds.

 

[kimbell]

We are an undisciplined team. Bediako is so limited as a player. Play Pringle

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama 65, Arkansas 63 | 4:45, H2

Arkansas is on a 6-0 run. Alabama has made one of its last eight shots and hasn't scored in 2:41.

 

[cola68]

Clowney is mvp so far

 

[jmillerbama]

Typical road sec game! Bama missing layups, free throws, and getting out rebounded, and letting arkansas control the physicalness of the game!

 

[cola68]

Let’s go!

 

[cola68]

Miller is going off!!
