Jesus, what a crazy half. 'Bama seemed determined not to take the lead every time they were within 1 point, and then Illinois hit a 3 right after multiple times.

oddly I think both teams can go into the locker room and say "we should have buried them when we had a chance"

Worst half of basketball from Biz and very pedestrian from Philon and Wrightsell. They are shooting the lights out, out rebounding us…

And we’re down one.

Entertaining half of BB. Need to get the lead. Don’t think we ever lead in the half.

Bristow can help this team. I hope Bethea looks like a difference maker when his time comes. Quality depth is imperative in SEC and tournament play.

Did not.
Had one and one while we were down one, then missed the front end.
And then Illinois pops a 3 to go back up 4. Lol

I feel like Alabama misses the front end of 1-1s more than anyone in the country.

Weird half. Felt like we should be down big but stayed close the whole half.


I feel like we do a lot well in every game. Just not all consistently. Like there’s a lot here, but the team doesn’t have an identity yet(outside of Oat’s typical system).

This team could still go a number of ways, so I don't want to speak too soon, but I can tell I've still got a little of the old Alabama basketball mindset that says we must capitalize on a specific player's time here because without him we won't be very good next year.

Going all the way back to Herb and Petty, then Miller, Quinerly, Sears... It just doesn't seem real that we could still be a competitive team this season because, in my experience, a lot of those guys would've been the unicorn that heroically put the team on his back for a couple of years, might've gotten us an early exit tourney appearance, and as soon as they're gone, we're back to square one.

The wheels could still fall off this team, sure, but Nate's proven that he can maintain a level of success at Alabama that I've never known in my lifetime.

So either they get the rebound or we’re called for fouling.
