Well Cooper, if he plays, will get 49 free throw attempts by himself.

Never trust auburn
Or the pearl of the nile

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Not an ideal start for Josh Primo

 

[cpat4bama]

Do they even call push offs anymore?

 

[WAR_GA]

More folks in the stands than usual.

 

[onebamamaniax]

They have to start taking better shots when driving

 

[onebamamaniax]

Just dump the ball off

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Auburn 17-10 with 11:30 left in the half. The Tide has forced seven turnovers which have led to 8 points.

 

[cpat4bama]

JQ getting to the rim with ease

 

[OatsMeal]

Need this Quinnerly to make a deep tourney run. He looks incredible right now

 

[aggietider]

I know everybody says their kids are this and that and I get it. I’m board too. But I’m serious, my 6 year old boy is obsessed with basketball. Auburn just got that shot clock violation and he said....Alabama NEVER does that!!
I have a video of him from 2 years ago when he was 4. It was late in the season. He keeps up with everything about SEC basketball. He could just rattle off the SEC standings at any time.

 

[grichards56]

There's a game going on ,guys.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Don't let up, destroying these cow humpers is the only thing that matters.

 

[cpat4bama]

Pearl rattled early. Looks like he’s bout to have coronary.

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama leads Auburn 21-10 with 9:49 to play in the half.

Alabama is on a 7-0 run while Auburn just committed its ninth turnover of the game.

 

[onebamamaniax]

Shack feeling it

 

[cpat4bama]

Why can’t Herb just finish like that always at the rim lol

 

[onebamamaniax]

hopefully this starts the offensive fire again!

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Auburn has five turnovers in the last 4:19

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Welp, the offense is clicking so far. Just let Herb dunk from now on. The barners look like they would rather be some place else.

 

[cpat4bama]

Geez with these cameras

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

Geez with these cameras

I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea, he should be fired on the spot.

 

[vegas man]

On loose balls our guys try to do too much. Just grab the damn ball. You don't have to be fancy and initiate a fast break every time. Just grab the damn ball.

 

[onebamamaniax]

I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea, he should be fired on the spot.

He should get a raise! The other cameras were having difficulties, with out those cameras we would be watching nothing.

 

[bgrantm12]

Love the way we are protecting the ball and making good passes. Only 1 turnover is awesome. barn with 11

 

[vegas man]

And Nate Oats is a saint. I would be losing my sh*t over these guys not running the offense. It's simple drive and kick it out if the defense commits. Really, it's that simple. When we do this good things happen for the offense.

 

[vegas man]

The team needs to get its mojo back shootings threes before the NCAA tourney. Missing way too many open threes.

 

[G.O.A.T-23]

He should get a raise! The other cameras were having difficulties, with out those cameras we would be watching nothing.

Yeah I made that statement before they mentioned the technical difficulties. Maybe he should be fired for being responsible for the technical difficulty. Somebody needs to fired for me having to watch a game like this in 2021. We have put a damn rover on Mars in the past week or so but can't get a decent broadcast from T-Town...

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Halftime: Alabama 37, Auburn 27.

Herbert Jones has 8 points, three rebounds and four assists for the Tide.

Auburn has 15 turnovers which have led to 17 Alabama points

 

[mowens75]

Hoping our outside shooting comes back sooner than later. Need Primo hitting shots and JP to more consistent.
