Trendon being from Alabama and friends with the Bama players really made this game special. Say what you want Trendon played his ass off. He would be the Ideal five man in Coach Oats system. Hopefully Frenchi can develop into that type player with a better outside shot.
 
He and his brother ( Indiana) both could have helped the Tide . Beating LSU three times this season is awesome . Wade money bags can’t coach at all . He recruits great players but it’s like Wimp says they don’t play hard on a consistent basis. They played well today especially Watford .
 
Watford played a hell of a game but ultimately let his success go to his head by getting cocky on the Tiger's final possession. He should have tried to drive to the basket and draw the foul. Two free throws late could have easily decided the outcome of a one point game. Got to be smarter than that.
 
Watford did play a great game. You could tell he was fired up to beat us. I don't think he ever was close to siging with us. His older brother did the same thing when it came down to Alabama and Indiana. He chose Indiana. I do not personally know the two players but I do know their dad. He is a Bama hater. Always has been so not surprised neither son came to Alabama.

He was probably shooting 70% give or take when posting up around the low block. They had plenty of time to run a play try and get Herb switched off for him to take the last shot down low. Im no bball expert but thats what im doing. Made no sense. Shows you that Wade just dont have a clue when it counts

Yeah I've heard the same thing also. Don't think He was ever really considering Bama.

He was getting to the basket at will all day; that's the Curry effect. Everyone wants to end the game with a highlight 3.

Um whaaat?

What I said. TW was killing us down low in one on one post ups. So my point just shows how garbage of a coach Wade is cuz they had plenty of time to run a play to get Herb switched off of TW on the block for the last shot. I was terrified. But luckily their coach is garbage and TW is cocky shooting that 3

To be honest I did not see some much organization from them on offense the entire game. Seems like they just do what they want on offense. There were a few ill advised deep 3's they took late in the game when they were clearly beating us in the paint. I thought that was the difference in the game. Give them credit though, I believe they only turned the ball over 5 times the entire game. That was why this game was not a blowout as compared to the previous 2 games.
 
LSU has three of the best five players in the SEC. I just hope we can win our fourth meeting of the year. Watford is everything that Harper told us Watford was.

Like I say, I would love to beat LSU four times this year. Bama fans argue that statement.
 
Should have overplayed the left shoulder spin, especially down low...

Watford was spinning left most of the time (called for hooking early on) which allowed him to shield defender w/ his body and finish w/ his right hand, power up on the backboard

adjustment to the left shoulder spin would have made him pivot to his right,

require him to finish with left hand or if he used his right hand would have been unprotected from his body and he couldn't shield defender.

Same you can tell they have talent but no direction. This game they said screw it we are gonna street ball it and honestly it worked out as good as it could lol

Not trying to say Wade is a good coach but remember that with 7 seconds left the play call was for Watford to cut/curl towards the baseline and get the inbound. The ball was thrown over his head to half court. At that point there is no look at the coach and call a play, it turns into your prize player making the right play one on one. Everybody clears out. Watford could have just as easily tried to penetrate but with the way that game had played out there is no guarantee the whistle gets blown. Another thing to consider is fatigue. Shooting the three is the easiest thing to do in that situation.

Watford played BY FAR his best game of the year yesterday. Has not looked like that hardly at all.

Yea i get that about 7 seconds left but im more talking before the blocked shot just before that inbounds play. They came down the floor with 19 seconds left. Me as a coach down by one im running a play to get Watford the ball down low and even trying to get a switch off herb. Say what you want about watford we didnt have good answer for him down low if thats where he had the ball
 
On the last play I thought Herb did a good job if staying in front of Trendon. I’m not sure Watford could have gotten around him, apparently he thought the same thing.
exactly. our best defensive player against their top scorer for the day. watford was not sure about the clock and if herb had cut him off and forced a pass, time might have run out.

he shot and they had a chance at a tip in. about all anybody could ask for
