100% right that FTs are the kind of thing that gets you beat in the tourney if you can’t make them consistently. Some of these guys can shoot better than they have been. It’s bizarre.

Did Aden Holloway shoot them? Youngblood missed 2 and corrected it during crunch time...as did Sears.

GO STAND IN A CORNER!

I'm very happy with the win dude. Already said that. Just objective.

It's like 80% of this board is determined not to enjoy this win and focus on all of the things 'Bama did wrong.



I don't think so at all, I think 100% in this thread are fricking thrilled we won. Some people are pessimists and only focus on the negative stuff but still love the team, it's just their way. Others are sunshine pumpers and others critique the bad and enjoy the good. No need to hate on any of those groups IMO, because we're all posting on an Alabama basketball thread wanting a fricking national championship.

Can you tell me what happened down the stretch when Mark Sears/Chris Youngblood went to the foul line?

Not sure what your deal is or why you're yelling. I'm pumped for the win, just objective about my basketball team. I've also been a coach for over 20 years. I know what patterns look like

Bama didn’t play their a game and the other team had a guy play out of his mind. Bama didn’t make free throws and still won on the road.

I’ll take it. This was a great win, even if the performance wasn’t A+.

No, no sir he did not. Sears shot 2 fts and made them with over 13 min left in 2nd half

Of course we did some things wrong. But, I'm glad we're at the point we can beat a top 15 team, on the road, be nipping at Auburn's heels for the SEC title, be considered the 3rd overall seed for the tournament, and still be wringing our hands about not being perfect like all those other teams out there.

Huge win on the road.. To get where we want to be we have to be better at the line. Period. But they found a way.

We, as a fan base, may need to temper our expectations of this team in the tournament due to the ft shooting. We all see it. It is goibg to bite us in the arse if it doesn't improve.


No. You, as a fan, need to stop expecting perfection and be happy with a top 15 road win. We are a top 4 team in the country and we have beat some of the best teams already, coming off a final four run, with our most stacked roster ever. And you are over there poo-pooing on the victory and talking about "we should temper expectations" bc we missed a couple free throws. That shite happens man. MJ, Lebron, you; everybody misses free throws some times man.

You claim to be a coach. What kind of coach are you? I want to come watch one of your teams be perfect.
