How do you know AS isn’t playing defense? That was his first foul and a weak attempt at that

Why are Sherrell and Williamson both in to close the half Nate?????


Have you seen the rebounding numbers? Can’t blame him

Serious question does Noah have his original hips?

Williamson extracts our ability to do anything. I'm sick of it, the guy shouldn't play

Awful half of basketball but it’s the fault of Oats and Murphy and how they put together a roster. Teams that emphasize having extreme size for going all in on rebounding will smoke our rosters unless they are a bad defensive team.

Not sure how you're supposed to "get loose" from 3 when the other team is allowed to hold you every possession.

I have a feeling in my gut that there is no point to even watch the 2nd half.

Don’t see how we can win this. Getting beat everywhere except fouls. When you give two or three chances every possession you might as well go home.

As if Williamson knows how to get a rebound, what a fuking joke. He just made it painfully easy for UT to drive straight to the basket on the inbound play because Noah is covering a guard at 3/4 court

It does suck when certain teams don’t have to give you freedom of movement. Our offense depends on it.

But it’s not, this is typical Alabama against these type teams. Every now and then they will shoot out of their minds and win one but the tough athletic defenses always give Nate’s teams trouble

Same thing every time.

They mug you.. repeatedly.

It’s why those pukes never advance in the Tournament.. because fouls get called in the tournament.

The way to stop it is hard foul them.. I mean HARD foul. The refs will call it tighter if you do that.. but we won’t

This is correct. I didn’t have the optimism others had before the game started, but was hoping the refs would be a little more focused on calling blatant fouls restricting our movement. UT with this whistle is impossible for us to beat

Someone put an Alabama hat on Stringer Bell so I can use this meme I use for the Raiders against any team that can rebound or dive for loose balls.

I keep thinking we break some ceiling, where I see toughness, shot blocking, offensive and defensive rebounding consistently in games and we're a legitimate final four team, it's not always there but it's there enough, and I'm content, and then we play fricking tennessee.

Williamson: 2 ORB in 5 min
Sherrell: 0 ORB in 15 min


Williamson is terrible, but he hustles on the offensive glass more than anyone not named Mallette or Allen

This is not on the officials. We have a soft team full of soft players. We’re watching them grab rebounds over us.


It can be both ways: we are playing soft. Tennessee is also being allowed to hold and hand check our guards into oblivion. You are not supposed to be able to use your arms to prevent an offensive player from driving past you. Not sure we've had a possession where this hasn't happened multiple times.

The boards problem is us absolutely getting outworked. Offensively, we are not being given freedom of movement which absolutely cripples our offense.
