Game thread: No. 6 Alabama basketball vs. Tennessee (SEC tournament)

stop throwing up so many 3's!!! We can't hit anything on the perimeter. We've got to drive the ball
 
We're as cold and generally off as we were hot and active yesterday. Looking at a loss if we don't settle in to how the refs are calling this game.

When we're getting called for fouls that wouldn't even raise an eyebrow yesterday and they're making crazy shots we really don't have a chance. They've hit one three off the glass and another from the parking lot that should have bounced back to the parking lot but hit the sweet spot on the back of the iron and just kind of died and fell in the hoop.

Hoping the vols come back to reality. Right now they're basically throwing a middle finger at analytics with a barrage of 10 foot shots.

herb sucks so bad under the basket. truly hilarious. pass the freaking ball. take your 10ppg for what they are, not a scoring threat.
 
Given how they've called this game that foul on Rojas is bullshit.
 
Halftime: Tennessee 40, Alabama 31

The Tide had 12 turnovers in the first half after committing just nine during Friday's win over Mississippi State
 
Not a bad spot with is well as they have been shooting. We will be there in the end.

if its within 10 its competitive. Bad half by us for sure. JQ is the only player that can compete out there at the moment. We have to sit herb. Honestly his d isn't worth blowing every open opportunity on offense.
 
Don’t come back from half time deficits often. Playing too inconsistent. Not finishing at the rim is killing Bama.
Tennessee just wants it more.
Hopefully Bama plays a better 2nd half.
 
Hate to say but up to now our play is a disgrace !! Gosh we turn the ball over a lot and a lot of the turnovers are unforced.Now the vols are a good team but they are playing over their head a little, too. Just hope we can bounce back.
 
Just 2 from Shack. That bs second foul call on him really hurt us that half. He ended up sitting most of the half. With Primo out and no one else but Quin doing much we're in trouble because right now Tenn can slow play us and keep us out of sync enough we can't make a run.

The group we had with Rojas and Reese on the court and no real scorer but Quin was really brutal to watch. Tenn pushed out to 12 during that little stretch.
 
exactly. we all know he didn't win secpoy off offense. but in games hes such a giant liability on offense when we are down its not worth playing him.
Did Herb Jones sleep with your wife? I mean my goodness man I get not liking a player but you lead this board in posts during the game and yet somehow you only say one thing.

I believe you've asked that before. and no. Its just that every time he touches the ball you know he won't score.
 
Herb keeps trying to prove he has an NBA offensive game- he clearly does not. It is ridiculous.
 
We've had a lot of wide open looks from 3 but when its Herb or Reese doing the shooting its not our best play. Jones, Reese, Ellis, and Shack combined for 0-7 from 3. Most were wide open shots. Speaking of Ellis, he's been invisible.

He’s not a good offensive player. The problem is our obsession with running the O through him. He’s the SEC POY. To suggest sitting the sec player of the year is a scorching take

No its not us running o through him. Its him running the o. Our o is not about taking it to the rim from the moment you touch it without passing it out Not at all. but happens with him in there. He was only poy based off of the 1st half when he wasn't completely useless. god he sucks. Look at it.
