Waiting on Bama and watching UNC get beat. I bet the alumni are unhappy.

It’s a crazy year in basketball, but I ain’t mad at it.

 

[aggietider]

It seems like we haven’t played in forever....just ready for the game.

Yah, at home by a bad team. Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas...lots of monsters in basketball are struggling. It’s crazy and the cherry on top is Bama.

 

[aggietider]

Primo is so soft around the basket. And away from the basket actually....

 

[cpat4bama]

Uh oh Bruner limping

 

[aggietider]

Did they call the last foul on Petty or Bruner? It would be two on Petty but the commentators don’t think we need to know. Will Bruner get back to 100% this season? He isn’t close.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama starts 0-for-4 from 3

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Primo is so soft around the basket. And away from the basket actually....

He's still a pup, but I think he has the brightest future at the next level of anyone on the team.

 

[cpat4bama]

Refs need to calm down with the whistle

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Primo has to settle down a bit.

 

[aggietider]

He's still a pup, but I think he has the brightest future at the next level of anyone on the team.

Skills wise, you’re right without a doubt. But some guys just don’t like contact. Kira would avoid it at all cost. Some guys seek it out, no matter how old they are.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Arkansas leads Alabama 8-6 heading into the first media timeout.

The Tide started the game 0-for-5 from 3

That’s a popular opinion and I’m in the minority, but I’m not seeing that. Doesn’t have the explosiveness or quick twitch athleticism.

 

[JJBama]

Damn refs are horrible so far. Good god

 

[Crimson_bloodbath]

Where is Ellis ? Starting primo was such a bad decision , so much bad happened around him .

 

[mowens75]

Boooo with the fouls.

 

[mowens75]

Well Reese is going to need hit the 3’s tonight.

 

[cpat4bama]

Jesus Christ that’s not a charge!!!

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

C'mon refs

 

[aggietider]

Shoot the wide open 3 Herb! Drives it into the teeth and gets a charge. I’ve said all year the Catch and shoot 3 is his best thing on offense.

 

[cpat4bama]

These refs need to chill on both teams

 

[mowens75]

12 fouls in 6 minutes

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Oats need a TO.

 

[cpat4bama]

Jesus Christ I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many fouls called not even 6 minutes

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Juwan Gary (shoulder) enters the game for Alabama.

 

[aggietider]

Oats need a TO.

He gets a bonus. The fewer timeouts he uses, the bigger the bonus.

 

[mowens75]

Wow refs this is ridiculous on all ends now.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

14 fouls called in 7 minutes.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

That’s a popular opinion and I’m in the minority, but I’m not seeing that. Doesn’t have the explosiveness or quick twitch athleticism.

He doesn't have Ellis type athleticism but at 6'6 he is athletic enough to get his own shot at in the NBA.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Refs have become the stars of the game.

 

[cpat4bama]

Ellis fouls more three point shots than probably anyone in the country

 

[aggietider]

He doesn't have Ellis type athleticism but at 6'6 he is athletic enough to get his own shot at in the NBA.

He isn’t strong enough with the ball to get his own shot now. They crowd him and that’s it. I hope that changes bc he can stroke it from 3 if he’s open.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Ellis fouls more three point shots than probably anyone in the country

I appreciate tat he's trying to close out on the shooters, but he does seem to come in a little too hard and get a piece of the shooter.

 

[mowens75]

Gary please just dunk the ball and no 3’s haha
