Gameday thread: No. 9 Alabama vs. Kentucky

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.
He working his way up the draft board
 
Man the only way Bama can lose this game is to keep playing like their playing, lets go guys.
 
Sarr keeps wanting to shoot 18 footers and we seem bound and determined to prevent it.
 
If we can eliminate the sloppy turnovers, defend Sarr a little better and see a couple 3’s go down in the second half then we’ll be fine. That was not a good first half and we’re up 3. We got a tough win last game against State. Gonna have to win another tough one tonight.
 
First time they played the Cats got 30 in the first half. 32 tonight. Got to keep the defensive intensity.

Alabama and Kentucky are tied at 38 with 15:41 to play. The Tide has missed its first four shots in the second half.

Petty has the right idea. Got to suck it up and get to the rim. Really need Q to play big this half and carry this team for a few minutes.

Forget 3s, we can’t hit layups. We’ve missed somewhere around ten. Reese missed one 2nd half that was wide open and was just pure laziness on his part. The question was did the team have the mental make up to avoid rat poison and come to play with the target on their back. The answer to this point has been a resounding No.

Can’t play lights out every night. Just gotta find a way to win games when you don’t have your best stuff. And losing is part of it too. Not playing your best and losing doesn’t mean your buying into the rat poison stuff.
 
how do fans know which players Avery Johnson brought to the university? The ONLY ones missing layups.

I didn't know they were losing

You assume it’s rat poison when the team plays great and loose for a long time and catapult into the top ten and look like a completely different team. Bad turnovers, many missed layups, showing signs of laziness that weren’t there before.

Maybe we aren’t as good as everyone says? Maybe we are good but went on a crazy stretch? Or maybe we aren’t playing well against a talented team? It doesn’t have to be rat poison.
 
It was pretty obvious we were hitting a wall against Miss St. UK and Mi$$ $t are two of the most physical teams in the SEC and were beat up bad. I appreciate the hustle though and these guys are trying to pull out a win. Respect.

Also how long did we think UK would keep losing games? Honestly
 
It’s not negativity. It’s knowing that we can’t keep our style of play up, without having true physical play on the inside. Have you not watched Gonzaga play. With all 6-11 players???? Just keeping it real.
 
We literally can’t play worse than we are. If we can get hot for 5 minutes we can put Kentucky to bed. Their offense is bad and can’t score quickly if we can just get a lead.
 
Vitale was right on early in the game when talking about us trying to make the damn hot dog sports center pass when the easy pass would work. That has continued into the second half. AggieTider is right when he says you can’t always play your best, so let’s try and find a way to win an ugly game.

ROLLTide!!!!
 
Petty has twice as many turnovers as buckets. The turnovers have been terrible this game. Luckily for us, UK is playing almost as poorly as we are and we can obviously still win.
 
Well I see the negative Nancy's have show up
Bama just needs to find a way to win. It's basketball and you can't expect a team to be on their game every night, you're gonna have some games you don't play your A-game.

This is a crappie UK team; you have to find a way to put them away. I loss would not help in trying to get a top seed.
 
Ellis has been brutal tonight....I keep thinking we are missing someone that is going to show up and make a play.
