What kind of diabolical awful thing have they been planning for 2 weeks to spring on us?


Probably something crazy like Oats punching Petty and calling him a slur.

Said it after the Tennessee game: Alabama has turned the corner and is playing with the defensive intensity that Nate Oats wants. Combine that with all this scoring talent and this team can be dangerous.

With no JQ and Herb missing 10+ minutes.


I’ll say it, we play better offense without JQ. JQ like to walk the ball up the court and dominate the ball at the top. We get out and run faster and spread the ball more when he is out. I know this will be an unpopular opinion

I’m not 100% sure I agree... but what you say is thought provoking. There may be a little truth to it.

At least we’re not in terrible foul trouble. Reese with 3 but Bruner with 0, so maybe this is the half where Bruner plays a lot of minutes.

JQ is sometimes guilty of too much dribbling, but he adds to the overall effectiveness of the team. They've shown they don't need him to play 40 minutes. But I still like what he brings. And some teams are going to have different match up issues. If we play a team with strong defensive guards, we need a ball handler.

Please start the 2nd half strong.

Up 17 compared to up 7 at the 15 minute mark is.......not small.

The 10 3s we made were OPEN. There wasn’t anything that fluky about it. Cal about to go ballistic about their defense during halftime.


Yeah, they can block shots but they've had some absurdly bad defensive moments.

The worst was Shack just dribbling up the floor and no one guarding him so he hits a wide open three. Also that simple Reese hand off to Petty who'd just made 2 threes and both defenders just stand back and watch him make another.

It's not the Kentucky defense you're used to seeing.

Isaiah Jackson has four blocks, but two of them were goaltending imo and weren't called.
