Why do they insist on covering 33% of the screen with some stupid graphic? Show the actual freaking game!!!!

They take care of the ball and they win by double digits...
 
Memphis leads Alabama 33-32 with 3:03 to play in the half. Both teams have 10 turnovers
 
JQ gets in his on head and you can tell when he’s going to be off for the night. With that said Shack hasn’t played well so far either, but with that we are down only one. Turnovers got to get less.
need some offense from Keon eventually. Also need Miles to know what he can do.
great night so far from JD and Bediako has played ok.
 
Memphis leads Alabama 37-32 with 24.8 seconds remaining in the half. The Tide has hit just one of its last nine shots.
 
Horrible by JQ. Dude is just off tonight. Good defense on him, but he’s just off. Not a good end to the half, but that’s why we have 2.
 
Gary has to go up strong with it. He looks scared every time.
Yeah he’s got to finish better around the rim. Several do. And we get in some trouble when we’re forced into half court offense. That last possession was just… pathetic. Memphis has been a dumpster fire, it would’ve been nice to jump on them, but hopefully we’ll pull it together and play a good second half.

Don’t like who we’ve had take the 3 point shots tonight. Too many from the bigs. Also, JD is going to have to learn to score besides the dunk. If he can become a scoring threat, we’re a legit natty contender.

Alabama failed to score over the final 3:59 of the half, going 1 of 9 during that span. Meanwhile, Memphis was able to go on an 8-0 run to take a 37-32 lead into the break.
 
Gotta make some adjustments to that double team they are bringing and gotta adjust on their ball screens.

I know we expect the guards to play better but give a little credit to Memphis' guards. Not a lot of open looks outside and when there is an open guy Memphis is making sure that it is Gary or Gurley.
 
-Got to have better play from our 2 starting guards. We win because of them and we need them.
-Let’s stop having the big guys shooting for quick 3’s. Shoot if you’re open and not rushing it.
-Keon we need you to hit an outside shot to get some confidence back that you can hit
-Miles just try not to turn it over and keep on hitting those 3’s
-Love the assist from JD and he and Bediako play well together.
- Gary needs to play like a big man even though he really isn’t. Haha! Go strong to the basket. Refs are going to call foul if you don’t and/or you are going to miss the layups
- Got to stop the turnovers and continue to create turnovers for them

No question that Memphis has had a ton to do with who has open looks at the 3. JQ and Shack will need to figure it out to win this though.
