Aden isn’t going to average 1-8 from 3 all season, for example


They played hella defense on him that first half and got him frazzled the rest of the game.

With our frontcourt the opponent can extend their defense against our 3 pt shooters. Just tough shots they have to take

Well I don’t read too much into losses to Purdue and Gonzaga in November lol.

They’d obliterate practically anyone.

Not if you can’t rebound. Elite 8 is probably our ceiling.

Allen and then Philon’s turnovers down the stretch just killed it IMO.

We probably lose even if they don’t turn it over, but that just killed our chances, especially Allen’s.

I don’t know that Purdue and the zags are the best sample.

Make free throws and somehow get and stay healthy. We got one young man thats supposed to be really good that hasnt even played yet and we just cannot keep Wrightsell on the floor, he could have been the difference tonight.

A little early for big proclamations like “Alabama has no path to winning a national title” don’t you think?

I understand the frustration with tonight, but this team is still gelling, we didn’t shoot it great and were still in it until the last couple of minutes. It’s a good team, capable of beating anyone in the country. They’ll get better as the season goes on, just give them a little time; we’re 5 games into the season.

Sweet 16 was what I was thinking, unless the bracket is favorable again like last year.

I don’t think people are freaking out but a lot see the writing on the wall with the roster construction for march. This team will have to be scorching hot shooting in March to beat the normal big dogs. We limit ourselves to playing one way only.


We’ve already beaten 2 big dogs without shooting the ball well.

Which would mean you had a helluva year. We’ve played 4 top 15 teams and gone 2-2 with all 4 really being toss ups throughout. We aren’t magically going to turn into a team led down by the 5 but I do have faith that we’ll figure out the rebounding issues to a point. The doom and gloom some of y’all have though is just ridiculous.

We shot it better than them. We just got bullied, again. Same M O, that’s what is frustrating

Nate’s best shooting team ever sure does shoot the ball poorly a lot.

Stop overreacting. We’ve lost to the #2 and #3 KenPom teams playing our C game. And we were right there until the end vs Both

Mallette has not been good. Trellys got a bad finger(and now a bad leg), Holloway has a bad wrist, and Bethea may be our best shooter and he hasn’t played. We will be fine. No need to overreact

Really missed Wrightsell..

Just couldn’t handle the 25 year old man that’s been playing college basketball since 2018.

No excuse for being 14/23 from line.

Two losses both had about 2 minutes of garbage play late that had a tied game, or close game, get blown open.

Sort of a Nate trait that I wish our teams didn't have.

Just got to close out frankly both halves much better

Saying this team has a sweet 16 ceiling. This team is much better than the Final 4 team. This team is better than last years Elite 8 team IMO.

When Bristow gets fully healthy and can go 30+ mins the rebounding will be much better.

It’d be cool if Oats would ever call a momentum timeout. Few did it to perfection tonight.

Your front court got bested by probably the best two front courts in the country. Whoopty effing doo. You could still have a very good front court without even knowing it yet.

Season is young.
