Beat #5 and #8. Could have beaten #1. Bama is a top 10 team

But can they run the ball?

So proud of our guys tonight. They battled and brought it home. We have a team guys. Let’s enjoy it. ROLL TIDE!!!!!

Good times (in bottle)!

We got a player in Bristow

He was the X factor in the game IMO.

With Sherrell a non factor due to fouls against a massive team, he came out of nowhere, ate minutes and was all over the court.

Tremendous effort from the entire team but he could be a difference maker for Bama this year.

2/3 against three straight top 10 teams in November is wild, with #13 Gonzaga next. Oats pretty much saying, "we'll play anyone, any time, anywhere."

And the AZ game in Bham is shaping up to be huge. Think I have like 13 tickets to that game already

Yep and Bol Bowen got his block on the last 30 seconds.
Is Bethea gonna play this year or no?

Looks like Nate is already situationally substituting.

I want to reiterate this post by TideSwamper as Oats’ late game moves were light years better than the Purdue game. Team played better tonight but coaching was better as well. That’s absolutely huge if Oats truly learned something (I vaguely remember him leaving JQ in on a last defensive possession against AU in ‘23 when we were tied with the shot clock off and an opportunity to sub due to made basket or dead ball…I almost lost my mind. Fortunately, we got the stop and won in OT to cut down the nets). Good late game substitutions could be a “game changer” for us in these close battles.

Wanted to reiterate once, not triple post. Chicken needs new machines
