Gameday thread: No. 9 Alabama vs. Kentucky

James Rojas is dressed out and taking part in warmups.

"We’re hopeful we can maybe get him by game time,” Nate Oats said Monday.
Get him by game time? Odd statement. He hasn’t been out near as long as JQ was has he? Or maybe it just seems that way.

Heading into the first media timeout, Alabama leads Kentucky 10-2. The Tide has made its first four shots. Joshua Primo already has 7 points.
 
Alabama leads Kentucky 17-12 with 11:33 left in the half.

The Tide is 7 of 10 from the floor but has five turnovers.
 
I hate when JQ walks it down. No passes. No movement and just plays 1 on 1. Not his fault. But I hate that. And don’t tell me 55 can guard Petty.
 
Alabama leads Kentucky 19-16 with 7:41 left in the half.

The Tide has four turnovers in the last 5:29. Alabama has seven turnovers on the night.
 
Kentucky is making it a little tougher. Not biting as hard on the dribble drive.
 
Poor guy, Rojas gets fouls called on him even when he doesn’t foul. He doesn’t need any help.
 
Was worried about losing that ability to play so loose like we have coming up to this point. Now ranked top ten with real pressure on, they look a lot less loose. Hopefully that’ll wear off.
 
Quinnerly seems to be forcing it a little early.
We’ve put him in some bad spots too. Just let him walk down and go one on one with no ball or player movement. All the help standing there starring at him.
 
Let’s use the bonus to our advantage and draw some fouls and let Nate draw something up at half time
 
Alabama leads Kentucky 26-22 with 3:55 left in the half.

Joshua Primo has made his first four shots, two coming from beyond the arc. The freshman has now made 12 of his last 15 shots from 3.
 
Weird how much Q is struggling lately

I like him alot but he does seem kind of streaky. That might just be his thing at this point and that's why oats has him coming off the bench. My expectations for him this year might have been a little off.
