re: 2017-18 Alabama Basketball Season Thread: 20-16 (10-11)

UPDATE DAT OP!

Despite looking lackluster at times, it's promising to see how resilient the team is. They've overcome adversity multiple times and shown to get out of offensive lulls.

I really wish we had Bola back for one more year. Being able to dominate the boards was really great last year.

Wow. Feels good to know Petty can have a terrible offensive game, a top 25ish team can go off on us in the 1st half and hit three consecutive 3pt prayers at the end of the game, and we can still win the game.

I know. It's awesome.

Yeah- their ball movement is incredible.

Here's the really impressive thing - through 4 games, our ball movement looks the best I remember since Wimp's days. There was a pass in the paint to Hall for a dunk last night that made my jaw drop and at the time he was the only returning player on the floor.

If our guys continue to grow, they won't be the only really dangerous team come March.

If you're thinking of the same pass, that was from Avery Jr. Shout out to him by the way. I had given him a lot of shite, and he shut me up with the way he played last night in limited minutes.

To me that's what is also impressive. When we landed our freshman class, we knew we would want to pickup the tempo, but most of us expected the returning players to have to have some time to adjust. Through these first four games, the returning players have looked like they've been doing this fast-paced offense their entire careers.

Having Sexton allows everyone else to be who they are, role players. They don't have to worry about who's night is it to get 20 or 30 because the Young Bull will get it for us every night. All they have to do is do their jobs.

I think i remember the play you’re describing and it was Petty.

Brian Bowen is out at Louisville, I wonder can we get him here.

Watching Purdue-Tennessee. How long has Haas been at Purdue? I remember wanting him when Grant was here.

best part of the Aub hoops thread is their fans completely ignoring the part where their president says he knows things nobody else does. According to them, the University is being so unfair to the program/pearl.


the second best part is them saying they should just play the players (who cares about violations) and then in the football iron bowl thread calling us cheaters.
