I never thought I would say this but I miss Bola, at least he fricking got rebound and loose balls.

I was close. We suck against these type of teams this year. Not even really good defense teams- just slow paced, shite style teams

Honestly I just hit a point where I realize I just don't want to watch them anymore.
Hit it tonight. Don't give 2 shites whether that makes me a bad fan/alum/whatever.
I get more emotionally unstable watching Alabama basketball than I ever do watching football. It makes no sense. I hate it.

You know, we could pay someone to recognize a change in circumstances like that and make adjustments to our strategy in response to those changes. Or we could just keep Avery.

We are never going to win a national championship in basketball and that pisses me off. We can't even make the tournament. fricking hell.

I thought our guys were attacking the basket, but when there are three guys standing under the basket, the right play is to kick it out. We just bricked a ton of open looks.

A shooter isn't what we needed tonight. We were in the bonus with 16 minutes left in the 2nd half. we needed to be pounding the lane and attacking the rim on every possession. It's monumentally stupid that we weren't doing that.
We had them in so much trouble and Avery let them off the hook. That's the dumbest coaching I've ever seen. Just stupid

I understand being mad at Avery, but good God our players were awful. Key only took one shot, Petty was off, this was the worst Herb's played all year, and Hall was awful. Our hustle was solid the second half just a poor outing. Mizzou's size intimidated or at least threw our guys off.
Posted on 1/31/18 at 10:42 pm to Cobrasize
Mizzou is shorthanded, has no ball handlers and is killing us pinning our guys on the block/pick and switches and getting big guy looks.
We have 10 guys who are long and athletic.
Seems like a good game to run and gun and press doesn't it? Nah, let's give token pressure and let them grind us down for 40 minutes. Great call.

We were in Bonus+ for the last 11+ minutes. We only scored what 3 buckets since then? 
Posted on 1/31/18 at 10:44 pm to TomRollTideRitter
The players were awful because they looked unprepared. We never made any adjustments during the game or anything

The 1st half was players. The fact that we didn't change ANYTHING defensively in the 2nd half was an abortion of coaching.
We just kept letting them slowly run their offense and pick and pin guys on the block. We didn't speed them up. We didn't attack their weakness. We didn't do shite.

Avery Jr. Is an annoying little piss-ant. There I said it.

We were down 2 at half. We ended up losing by 9. That says it all

Yeah it was really amazing how easily they controlled the pace. I thought our guys looked tired too. I don't know why, but they looked like they were gassed which shouldn't happen when you play 10 guys.
Posted on 1/31/18 at 11:08 pm to TomRollTideRitter
Avery wants us to play at an NBA pace, but has no idea how to impose that pace on a team that wants no part of it.
Posted on 1/31/18 at 11:10 pm to mistaken4193
Ive been telling myself the last 5 minutes...."We just gotta get to 19 wins"

Yeah our press is so half assed. We just send two guys up there to put their hands up. They aren't forcing the guy to the sideline or really forcing him anywhere. The only time our press does anything is if the opposing point guard just dribbles right into a trap.
