Make bama put the ball on the floor. Close out hard on the three and make them drive to the basket and contest the shot. no need to foul, odds are we will miss the layup if contested. Pressure the ball hard. We have no one that can dribble with consistency. Our best dribbler, JQ, is a turnover machine. Petty cannot dribble. Also, whoever reese is guarding, use his man in a pick and roll. Reese hedges to hard on the screen and is routinely out of position. Lastly, if the other team goes on a huge run Oates will not call a timeout.
The formula to beat bama is simple
- Thread starter kimbell
- Start date
I consider the season over now. Now that everyone knows what to do, I doubt we win again.
There is a blueprint to beat every team in America, drawing it up and executing it are two totally different animals.
ROLL TIDE!!!!
Exactly! Simple! Just don’t let them shoot from three, contest every shot, close out hard... sure. That’d beat everyone.
yea it must not be too damn simple. we are 14-4
The blueprint is for Bama to win is to shoot better from everywhere on the floor and rebound better ..
Bama looks tired too.. not an excuse
Bama looks tired too.. not an excuse
Seen the “ tired” excuse a lot this week. These are kids - they are not tired. Physically beat up but not tired.
If that’s the plan, very few can execute it. This bandwagon is about full. I guess some need to jump off. Just remember if you get off, you may have to ride like this the next time you try to get on.
There's an ebb an flow to every season. To think we were going to keep.rolling teams by 20 to 30 pts was unrealistic. We go 6 and 3 from here on out and we'll win the SEC. RTR
Everyone wants to consider themselves experts when something bad happens lmao
I agree especially on the timeout calls that are never used . We must of had 5 turnovers in the first 4 minutes. To wait for the TV timeout on the ROAD is ridiculous in the first half . My other pet peeve is NEVER running a inbound play . We have 5 guys standing around with their hand in the air. Love where this team is headed. They will learn from these last two games and get better.
We need a week off to heal and rest. Of course so does everyone else.
come on guys. yeah it's a loss, but this is not football. You have losses during the season. We just happen to win 9 in a row which is incredible no matter if the SEC might not be the best conference. Our last 3 have been more difficult, but we won 2 of them and had a chance in this one against a great team who's beat several top 10 teams and it was on the road. So just take the loss guys and move on. This team has played great and we are considered to be a high seed in the tournament right now.
And we have a ton of those on the basketball forum! Especially the ones saying being tired and worn down isn't a reason.
Maybe people who pay for service that has an open forum enjoys expressing their opinion. If people quit expressing their opinion, the site will not exist. Be careful
Wrong. Played a ton of basketball. Did Oklahoma look tired today? No. It is an inaccurate excuse and observation.
Yea- that is it. Alabama is just more “tired” than every other team. They are banged up- not tired. Comical.
It's OATS. If y'all are going to talk about the man, at least spell his name right.
It seemed like there was a point a couple of weeks ago where he was calling timeouts when a run was happening. Now he's not doing it for some reason. Or, I could be crazy, which is always possible.
Love you @aggietider
I'm not sure if you are talking to me or the guy I responded to but all good. I said "Oates hasn't called a timeout all season" bc...Oates isn't our coach. I was just joking around. I actually respond to every "Oates" post I see like that....
All good. I don't mind being called out, or being wrong. But I'm going to spell the guys name right...just needed to get that straight.
maybe that is wht we are 14-4 and undefeated in conference play. i think he knows what he is doing
half this board was ticked because we have not gave him a big raise with an extention and big buy out last week. now half the board thinks they know more about coaching than he does
I think some of our fans think everything has to be perfect in every game. What we saw in the LSU game will probably never be seen again by any team. It was perfect. It has now spoiled some of our fans. I love perfect, but I have no problem with ugly as long as they both result in winning.
It’s just the football way of thinking that people carry to other sports. They hold the same standard to every sport and it’s comical.
Thanks so much for your input, please let CNO know about the simplicity of beating this team so he can correct it.
The FOG invasion was bound to happen when we started winning.
