Lol if you decided this bama team was great and unstoppable that is on you.

I dont think many people call a team ranked 10th in a given college basketball season as a "great team"

I guess this means that my boy isn’t invited back to anymore Bama basketball games.

Seriously, I think we’re ok. Need to get some guys healthy though. Let’s go win the SEC and do some damage in the big dance.

Tough loss to a decent team.


Decent team? They have beaten 4 top 10 teams this month, they are obviously better then decent. They will probably be ranked in the top 10 after beating Texas and Alabama this week.

They look like a top 10 team.

I think another big problem is we are so banged up we aren’t able to fully practice

I honestly I just think they were more physical than us. And that's not really hard to do when you give up about 20lbs across the line

And the way you offset that is to play quicker use screens and the refs don't swallow their whistle for them

I'm just glad that I can watch selection Sunday wondering where our guys will be seeded instead of having to wait for the NIT announcement.

Please don’t do this.

Yea it's not helping - especially now in a period where we need to make some adjustments

Bama needs a legit scorer to do any real damage in the tourney. Without one our chances are slim and none.

I mean I'm pretty happy that we've been awful offensively for 3 games and have played elite defense and played hard as hell with no quit in all 3 games.

We could have gone into our Alabama turtle shell in the last 2 games and we didn't. We just didn't execute.

I mean it's objectively better to lose on the road @ OU and reset than lose to some trash team like aTm, UGA, or Vandy, but if we continue to play the way we have the last 3 games we are going to limp to the finish line.

I can't for the life of me think of a team that is worse around the rim than we have been the last two years. I'm not alluding to our lack of depth inside, but guys who just can't hit simple layups.

Those back to back misses from Shack were inexcusable and shut down any momentum we could capture late.

How we respond 6pm Wednesday night, off a loss, ending winning streak is important.
This will test our mental toughness. In the past, losing streak would ensue.

We just don't have many thick guys who can finish with contact.

Shack has no ability to do it. Any layup or runner he makes under duress is purely luck. He just flips the ball at the rim.

Yep, they showed some heart and some fight when they could have easily folded and blamed the refs. Got a couple months to work on a solid "plan b" for the offense.

The SEC just looks weak. Florida is getting pushed around early by WV

To be fair West Virginia is the definition of a bunch of safeties and linebackers whose entire program is built around toughness.

Hard loss, because we definitely could have beaten that team, but it won't hurt our resume as long as we bounce back next game.

The LSU game will definitely be a barometer of how bad the offensive situation had truly gotten.

If we struggle to get good looks and turn it over against them then we're in some serious trouble.

Missed layups is like what our field goal kicking was before last season when we were missing short field goals & extra points. You gotta make those or to many times they cost you.
