Baseball ⚾️ Game thread: No. 6 Alabama at Memphis

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.
Yes very true. They are doubling on our shooters and not letting those guys get open from the outside.

I’m still trying to figure out how Gurley isn’t a big time threat from 3. He shot like 40% two years ago… what’s happening?
 
This may just be one of those games…
Don’t forget we are coming off 3 days rest from a game that was probably the most physical they will have all year. Memphis is desperate. Tough circumstances.
 
Guess they used up all their magic the last 3 games. If bama loses this game. If you would go told me 2 weeks they would finish that 4 game stretch 3-1 I’d take it.

So said it about Keon and now will say it about JQ. Need him to hit a 3 to get comfortable again.
and…we need to find away to get the rebound .

This is about to get uglier. Not doing a thing offensively that we want to do. If Memphis misses a shot they get the rebound and /or fouled. Hope I'm wrong but this is shaping up to be a 15+ point loss.
 
Memphis is running away with this one, leading Alabama 53-42 with 13:42 remaining. The Crimson Tide is 4 of 20 from beyond the arc.
 
4 for 20 from 3. Definitely not our night. Need JD to actually be consistent on o. Sure he gets assists but need some shots to fall. Shack is so up and down. Hope he can bring consistency as well
 
Well let’s see what this team is made of now. Need Shack to take over and until we hit some outside shots from our shooters please don’t let anyone over 6’7 shoot it from there

This team has to get rebounding under control. I know some nights just isn't your night, but rebounding is a reoccurring problem...
Memphis leads the country in terrible shots that turn into offensive rebounds. At this point its a strategy for them ha
 
Bama style of play keeps apposing teams big men out of foul trouble and therefore in the game to collect 85% of the rebounds. Rebounds are killing us.

Jesus no. The last thing we need is the ball in shacks hands. He has his nights sure, but clanking shots off the rim isn't what we need
 
When you beat 2 final 4 teams back to back it's bound to happen. But man, the effort....smh

Ain’t going anywhere with this rebounding effort. Teams will
Shoot 35% against us and still win bc of the rebounds

Bama sleep walking tonight and looks lost so far. Shack needs to spot up more and leave the driving the lane to JD and JQ. The team just looks out of whack tonight.

Memphis is on a 12-2 run and leads Alabama 61-44 with 11:40 remaining. Alabama has 18 made shots and 15 turnovers.
 
We got to rebound and shack needs to take some 3s. He is the best 3 point shooter in the league. Time to prove it.
 
Just a bad night. Team looks gassed. Oats smoked crack then made out this schedule lol. Memphis is obviously not a great team but they aren’t the team that lost 4 straight either

Yeah not so sure this product could beat any top 150 team tonight. Guys look gassed. Everybody's getting beat off of the dribble ( I think they committed 4 lazy fouls in 2 minutes) and nobody is making shots. Legs are gone.
Yeah no excuses for playing like this, but we are definitely playing like we have nothing left. Plus playing a team that has just lost 4 and shouldn’t have lost 4 in a row at their house. Just a bad night. It happens in basketball. Something about home court and when you start hitting it seems you don’t miss at home.
its a bad night, but let’s play to the end and then move on from it.

Can’t rebound unless you aggressively go after the ball.
