Alright Oats you better have Bama ready, got Thad's # on speed dial.

 

[Crimsontide3413]

According to ESPN they are missing Reaves and Williams. Reaves is their best player.

 

[gdh1954]

I don’t ever root for opposing team to be missing key players but this kinda levels the playing field a little bit. We’re dealing with our fair share of bumps and bruises.

Not super excited about the 11am tip on the road. Still can’t afford to come out flat.

Their leading scorer I know. I’d rather play them with those guys. Now if we win it isn’t as big of a deal. And if we lose, we lost to them not even close to full strength.

At the end of the day we need wins. By the end of season this will be a win over a top 25 team and no one will care that they were missing two players imo

Agree to disagree on that one. Getting beat by them without 2 starters and their leading scorer could be the hair that’s split to keep us off a certain seed line. If we win, it doesn’t matter.

If I recall, OU beat Texas earlier in the week when Texas was missing several players and their HC. This Covid stuff will all even out in the end

we are missing our only true center and herb and reese are limping.

 

[pfaud001]

So excited to hear announcers with masks on.

Oh I agree there. The absent players hurts us in a loss but not in a win

Three straight TOs is not a good start!

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Roll Tide!

 

[aggietider]

Three straight TOs is not a good start!

Wouldn't have been against a timeout there to wake some people up.

 

[BamaLegacy]

3 turnovers in 4 possessions...not exactly crisp...almost a 4th. OK not taking advantage is a good thing

 

[aggietider]

We are the worst lob throwing team in the world...

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

For whatever reason, WE CANNOT ALLEY OOP!

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

Our passing is lazy

 

[Tony_Tsoukalas]

Alabama had five turnovers in the game’s opening four minutes allowing Oklahoma to go on a 9-0 run to take an early 11-2 lead.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

We are looking for the 3 and not the drive and kick.

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Offense out of sync again

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Herb and Reese should ride the pine this whole game. Luckily it isn't a bigger lead at this point

 

[cpat4bama]

Early start time has them coming out flat.

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

I've lost count of the TOs!

 

[aggietider]

I'm not one to complain about announcers. I don't really care for most of them honestly but I don't like this Dan D guy.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Our passing is lazy

"herb is lazy." fixed it. 2 turnovers and 1 that should have been credited to him but wasn't.

 

[kimbell]

Oates is awful when it comes to calling timeouts. Stop the momentum

 

[RammerJammer210]

I can live with off shooting - the turnovers and lack of focus drive me crazy though

 

[grichards56]

Gotta settle down. Not ready for a big stage.

 

[anon_z8qxv7qt5719f]

If we started playing better the announcers would probably get better!

 

[BamaNavyCPO]

Someone has to step up and settle this bunch down! We are giving them easy points.

 

[BamaLegacy]

What a train wreck of a start...waaaaaay too casual...Bama is not ready to play game to start and/or isn’t respecting OK. As a long suffering Bama fan it’s hard not to see this kind of play and sort of expect bad stuff...want to be a positive in-game poster...so we will see if Bama can get their heads out of their butts

 

[kimbell]

Best way to beat bama.... pressure the ball. No ball handlers. Q is the only one and he’s a turnover machine.
no chance Petty plays n the pros. Can’t dribble

 

[D Isaiah T Billings-Clyde7]

Yea I’d line to see a timeout used when we clearly need lit into.

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Oates is awful when it comes to calling timeouts. Stop the momentum

yes. by now he should count on herb and Reese handing the ball over.

 

[jrippolito]

Did not come out ready to play.Reese missing those two free throws hurt !

 

[bamabuilt22daddy]

Play Keon, jq, gary, primo, and Ambrose. Get the other lazy players off the court
