re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

Last night we scored more than USA in each half than they did the entire game.

No. 22/22 Alabama Overwhelms South Alabama in 56-Point Victory

The Crimson Tide eclipsed 100 points for the third-straight game to open the season in 102-46 win

The No. 22/22 Alabama men's basketball team overwhelmed the South Alabama Jaguars 102-46 Tuesday night in Coleman Coliseum. It marked the third consecutive 100-point game for the Crimson Tide to open the 2023-24 campaign, the first time that has occurred since 1956-57.

Mark Sears led four Alabama (3-0) players with a game-high 17 points, while freshman Sam Walters added 16 off the bench, Nick Pringle (12) and Mohamed Wague (10) also contributed double figures as all 13 UA players who saw action scored at least two points.

The Jaguars (1-2) were led by Maxwell Land scoring 15 points.

Head Coach Nate Oats Postgame Comments
"That was a lot more like what we are trying to get on the defensive end. I thought our effort was significantly improved from everybody on the team. Thought some guys really stepped up … I think I think we've gotten 23 threes up every single game. We'd like to get a few more off as long as we're shooting it. But we've been pretty efficient. Offensively, our guys had us down for 1.52 points per possession which is about as good as you're going to see anywhere. This was not a super high possession game, I think we had us down for 67 possessions, so not that many possessions to score 102 points. I thought we played hard no matter what the score was. Overall, I am happy with our effort. We need to get one more great defensive game against Mercer Friday night going into that Thanksgiving tournament in Destin."

Been sick and had to catch a replay this morning. Really liked seeing the defensive intensity dialed up. They missed a bunch of shots better teams would have made, but we contested pretty much everything and had them completely out of their offense. They basically spent the last 30 minutes of the game making drives into traffic or throwing up contested 3s.

We may be the best shooting team in the country too, which is nice to see. Personally I'd like to see us go ahead and score 100 in every game.

They downvote everything in this thread. Even during the off season. It's fricking hilarious how much time and effort they've put into following our thread.

Through all of this Alabama basketball did not disappoint me, so maybe this is finally our year.

If we lose to Mercer, permaban Robot Santa.

This is probably the slowest lego portfolio ive ever waited for. 3 years and counting. I still have lego sets not officially retired yet.



This is the lego set that is going to be my cash cow. Bought 10 mario sets of 17360 @ $25/each. Retail is $69.99 with it currently at $59.99. Will be worth around $80-100 once retired per set.

I did that one to beat him to it LOL
