re: Alabama Basketball 2012-13 Season Thread

I'm just disgusted man. I just watched the entire Mercer game and i'm gonna go ahead and be resigned to a shitty season. We will be lucky to win six conference games..........

what a horrible loss. Does this mean Grant is on the hot hot seat if he does not make it back to the dance. This was the year they were building towards. The loss of Carl and Steele can't be that huge. Steele was a leader but Carl was taking up a lot of space. Carl, in his third year shows little to no progress and Gueye is the same way

What happened to the two previous coaches that lost to Mercer?

Just got back from the game. I'm sure the problems/poor performance has been discussed at length, so I'll just point out that I witnessed 3 things I don't recall ever seeing before:

1. 5 minutes into the game the announcer invited everyone to move down to the open seats closer to the court (I'm sure so it would look better on TV)

2. A team shoot 3 airballs on 1 possession (Mercer)

3. A double-bounce bounce pass (from Lacey to Relevord cross court in transition)

Intredasting

I think some of them play hard but it looks like Jacobs doesn't give a shite nor does he try. Also, does Lacey disappear offensively because he takes possessions off or is it because no player can excel consistently offensively in our 'system.'

I thought the players played hard today. I remember at least 3 times where Jacobs dove on the floor after a loose ball.

The issues were poor execution on offense and mental lapses on defense.

But even if CAG is right about the players lacking some intagible, he recruited every player that played today, so it still falls on him.

It was another terrible offensive night, and one of the worst offenses in the nation couldn't miss the 2nd half, add that to the fact that their big man obliterated us down low, and you get disastrous results like tonight. I think it was Bryant that once mentioned that Jacobs might be unhappy with his PT and might transfer...go ahead dumbass. Your about as useless as a poopy-flavored lollipop. You have one thing you are decent at. A left-handed hook shot. Kudos! Everything else, offensively, defensively, rebounding, you suck at! He can't guard his shadow, can't get up and down the floor, can't rebound, and can't even do a simple drop-step to his right even when they GIVE him the whole right side to work with and place an extra defender on his left. I knew as soon as the ball was passed down-low to him it was game over. It's unbelievably predictable.
