Baseball ⚾️ Game thread: No. 6 Alabama at Memphis

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

There we go. Put up a fight

 

[TideFan35]

How many times Memphis gonna slap the backboard during the shot? Thought that was frowned upon?

 

[frazor]

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

No way to keep the ball out of his hands. Already playing 3 on 5.

 

[GoHamm]

1 positive: we don't have to worry about JD leaving after the year hahaha

 

[pfaud001]

Isn’t Doug Chow the ref that screws us all the time.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

I do maintain that you cannot under any circumstance let the opponent go on a game altering 10-0 run without calling timeout. Oats finally called one after going down 17. We go on a 4-0 run after timeout and penny stopped it. Back to 18

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

I mean This team has barely been able to pass the ball and they are dropping dime after dime tonight.

He’s got to develop a shot. He is an incredible point guard, but outside of dunks, he isn’t a threat to score.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

We cannot rebound all the sudden

Wrong

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama trims Memphis' lead to 74-60 with 7:04 to play. The Tide has made its last six shots

 

[TideFan35]

Memphis cheerleaders could rebound on us the last two games.

 

[pfaud001]

Our rebounding is the worst I have seen. They must be tired from the Houston game.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Our rebounding is the worst I have seen. They must be tired from the Houston game.

It’s been awful. And we had been a really good rebounding team. Houston was just great at crashing but tonight we have just been beat to the ball.

 

[Holt Ironman]

Darius Miles needs to learn to rebound instead of just slapping the ball out. 4 balls he could have grabbed but let Memphis have the offensive rebound

 

[TideFan35]

I nominate Darius Miles as player most like to
Commit an unnecessary foul… Can I get a second?

 

[mowens75]

Let’s try to remember several weeks back we were going to be really happy with winning 2 out of 3 against Gonzaga, Houston and Memphis. And yes we thought we might have this kind of game against Gonzaga, but instead we are having it tonight.
I will say this I do think in the future even with this Oats system we might just need a beast inside and beast I mean a lot of weight and can fight for rebounds. I love Bediako and think he’s been good, but just need someone that can fight inside.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought if a player was too injured to shoot their FT, they couldn't come back in the game...

 

[frazor]

It’s been awful. And we had been a really good rebounding team. Houston was just great at crashing but tonight we have just been beat to the ball.

A LOT of standing around looking.

 

[TideFan35]

Memphis must be like 40-42 from the free throw line… and they’ve committed 2 fouls this half

 

[RammerJammer210]

Y’all bitching about Miles but he’s the only one who can make a 3 point shot tonight

Gary has been a great rebounder and suddenly non existent as a rebounder. That is his most valuable attribute

 

[mowens75]

Like to see Keon confident again.

 

[frazor]

Could have cut it to 12 and now two ft make it 16 again

 

[TideFan35]

That’s Ellis not miles

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Miles is bad at a lot of things that are required to be good

 

[TideFan35]

So now shack wants to shoot

 

[adsmith4]

If this loss is what gets Keon going again, I will take it.

 

[TideFan35]

Yea Keon has quit thinking about it and is letting it fly

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Looks like we are gonna get beat by double digits! What a let down!

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

If this loss is what gets Keon going again, I will take it.

Definitely the silver lining tonight. He is a guy that can go off offensively. It won’t be every game but we can’t have games where he does nothing

 

[Sweetlou2.0]

Cut it to 10 with this possession and we have a chance

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Let’s give it a run guys!

 

[TideFan35]

We are about to lose by like 3 and it’s gonna piss me off

 

[frazor]

On that last free throw Gary got pushed a good 5 feet on his box out. By the time the ball came off he was almost under the rim.

 

[adsmith4]

JD and Keon out here giving it their all. Just need JD to develop some offense.

 

[GoHamm]

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

We just beat back to back final 4 teams lmao. Let's chill with this narrative.

 

[TideFan35]

I’d like to know how many shot farther than 5’ from the goal Memphis has made.. it’s not many

 

[GoHamm]

3 minutes left and they had 3 total fouls this half hahahaha

 

[adsmith4]

JQ looks completely disinterested tonight.
