That stretch killed us, we had all the momentum down 2 with the ball, and then…. It is what it is though, on to the next.

It was a bad stretch. No doubt. But TBF to Miles, we all thought he had a pretty significant knee injury in the UGA game and he wasn’t supposed to be back until UK at a the earliest per the reports this week.

I think foul trouble led to him playing a hell of a lot more minutes than he should have had to play.

Only thing pissing me off tonight is us letting that walk-on get a 3pt play to put them at 100. That was the only pathetic effort I seen

I think he needs to come back next year. He is setting himself up for the G-League for a couple of years if he leaves. It would be interesting to see who would start between him and Jaden Bradley

Bediako shows potential(the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half tonight was outstanding)he just needs to get tougher and stronger

Go watch football highlights because that may be the dumbest assessment I’ve ever seen.

Tell me you’re an FOG without telling me you’re an FOG.

Y’all LOOOOOVE to say the dumbest shite whenever we lose. Just mind boggling sometimes

Been following Alabama basketball since the late 70’s. Where do you disagree?

Rojas is terrible, Holt 1-13 (.077) from the field, 1-11 (.091) from three and Davison can’t shoot or defend and turns it over way too much. Compare him to Kira Lewis who was really good at UA but can’t even get on the floor in the NBA.

I’m not overreacting to last night - they are really good, at home, etc. If we could somehow come out of this week 2-1, that would be amazing. 1-2 wouldn’t even be that bad.

However, what stood out to me last night was why Auburn is so good this year. We brought back more than them. We brought back Shackleford, JQ, Keon, Gary, etc. They brought back Flanagan and a few other role players.

Jabari is a sort of a unusual case, in that he was a top recruit that was even better than expected. But everyone else: Green, Kessler, KD Johnson - they just nailed the transfer portal.

We, meanwhile, just haven’t gotten enough from our newcomers. It was really JQ and Shack carrying the team at times last night.

Nate has done an amazing job, but I think it’s questionable whether or not he’s really adapted to how much the transfer portal has changed things. Outside of Quinerly and Bruner pre-injuries, it hasn’t been good.

I think it has to change your philosophy about recruiting to some extent. For example, do you bring in freshmen that aren’t ready to contribute - that may become good players in 2-3 years if they stick around? Do you bring in JUCOs? I think Pringle looks physically ready to play, but they better feel strongly about him, because you don’t NEED to go JUCO anymore.

Pearl only brought in one high school recruit last year, to go with 4 transfers. And nailed all of them. There’s some luck there, but it’s just an amazing use of the portal.

(Edit: Nimari may well be really good. Again there is some luck involved - Pearl didn’t have one of his transfers pick up a season ending injury)

This is it really. Every single one they brought in from the portal seems to be elite. The sad thing is, that is scary. Pearl will be able to just hand pick any player he wants from the portal due to his success while the rest of CBB is left with the "scraps". That is one area Oats HAS to try and catch up on. I also feel like we have just been unlucky on the injury front since Oats has been here, whether it is before the season or during the season.

Pringle has no outside shot either.Maybe he will turn into a Donta Hall type.Jd doesn't have that junkyard dog attitude like Sexton had.

first post in over a day so forgive me if this was discussed.

I see where JD did not start and Q did. Good move. JD played over 20 minutes with 0 points but had 4 assists

I had other obligations so did not watch the game so i usually go to the stat page to see what players did

Everyone knows of real smart people who have no walking around common sense and are insecure with other people. Do we have any BB players who are talented athletically but have no BB IQ, Kind of an analogy with smart people lacking common sense.
