- Well I haven’t had to write one of these in a while. Be prepared for FOGs to say the sky is falling and this team is not very good or overrated. Anyone in their right mind knows that Alabama is a top 15 basketball team and Oklahoma will likely be there too. This team could’ve quit down 12 with 10 to go, but they fought back and even took the lead. Oklahoma was without their leading scorer, but Alabama just did not play well to start the game or end the first half and it cost them. They were outscored 17-2 in the first 5 minutes of the game and last 2 minutes of the first half combined.
-You can tell this team has lost a step or two being banged up. They have played average games the previous 3 games, and were good enough to pull 2 of them out for a win. With Herb playing below 75%, Bruner missing multiple games, JQ being sluggish after missing a few games,Rojas hurt, and Reese banged up it’s been tough offensively. They do not have that same burst when driving that they did before, but the players with get healthy and get it back.
-Look at the positives. Alabama really battled to get back in the game late. In the past, Alabama would’ve folded and it would’ve gotten ugly. This team is resilient and takes the attitude of the coach and that’s how coach Oats is. The team is just getting to reliant on beating their man off the dribble and cannot right now. The staff will have to find different ways to get Primo and Petty the ball.
-Alabama faces LSU at home on Wednesday with a chance to go 10-0 in conference. That will be a huge game before traveling to Missouri, and then the schedule really opens up.
