Game thread: No. 9 Alabama at No. 24 Oklahoma

Just get in a rhythm offensively and we’ll be fine. Defense has been great. Good effort, crashing the boards, active hands.
 
Alabama cuts Oklahoma's lead to 12-8 with 11:46 to play. Alabama had eight turnovers in the game's first 7:20.
 
They need to settle down. After having 8 turnovers, we should be getting destroyed. Time for our run.

Yah. We took a good shot from them while we were handing them the ball. If we settle in, we are fine. I just wish Oats would have called a timeout after turnover 2 or 3. It was obvious we were heading down that road. Call it and wake them up!!!
 
Oklahoma already has 6 offensive rebounds. Pair that with our turnovers and they should have a pretty good lead, but they don't.
 
Shack can't let Primo play 1 on 1. He literally ran up under him when Primo was pulling up to shoot and brought his defender with him.
 
Oklahoma leads Alabama 17-11 with 8:38 left in the half.

Turnovers have been a problem for the Tide, but so has offensive rebounding where the Sooners hold a 7-2 advantage.
 
Fouled the ish out of Herb on that drive...grabbed him the entire time
 
Petty starting to feel it. 8 offensive rebounds for them. I wonder how many second chance points they have?
 
Giving OU too many second chance opportunities. Gotta rebound better!
 
Alabama leads Oklahoma 27-24 with 3:15 left in the half. The Tide has made six of its last eight shots from the floor.
 
So we jab step on the perimeter and it’s a travel. They do the same thing and it’s not. Then Shack gets called for a foul....for what exactly? Just bc there’s contact doesn’t make it a foul.
 
Herb has Petty wide open and pass faked it to him before he passed it to him.
 
Both teams shooting decent, but turning it over at a high rate...OKs offensive rebounds the difference in the game so far

Just wondering how many people here still want Reese, Petty, and Herb gone?

OU is playing great D; they are getting right up and Bama’s face. Bama has to start cutting of them, maybe set a few off the ball scenes to get shooters open.
 
I havent seen 3 walking calls in a game in years and years.... also double foul on rojas was bs.

Oklahoma is doing a ton of hand checking on drives...Bama needs to finish strong at the rim but is too often getting knocked around and making a weak/telegraphed pass that is easy pickings for the D

Still, this game is all on Bama...they should win this one

They’re playing D so far away from the basket it would be nice if we could execute a lob or two
 
Noticed something odd...Bama’s 10 TOs at half are all by 4 guys (Herb, Petty, Primo, and Q)...normally it is a bit more across the board than that

Those are our drive and kick guys which says a lot about OKs on-ball defense so far
