We have to get better with our FT’s. We shot as good as Shaq did back in his NBA days...

Our seniors like Samir and Purifoy basically didn't show.
J'von played like a guy from Lee College.
It is what it is...we will have more nights like this, but we are still tournament team in a transition year so...#hailBruce

Not only the free throws but many poor decisions early in the shot clock.
There is no way to guard with refs like that. Over 30 fouls is bs

Sick of seeing this crap. Good teams adjust to how they’re calling the game. Bama has a ton of fouls too. Refs are not why we lost the game. Not even close to why.

It sucks our 1st loss had to be against Bama.
P.s. I still haven’t fully recovered over the hose we received against UVA

Just don’t let this become a losing streak. Even if we lose Saturday which will be tough, keep it at 2 losses. This team can win 12-13 SEC games

FT shooting and turnovers. Doughty probably had at least half a dozen tonight. I would bet he had more TO's than points.

We would have been better off of Samir never got off the bus.

Agreed 13-5 is not out of the question. Another of our top 5 most difficult games comes saturday

Everyone has an off night. Everyone. Cut Samir some slack.
We dropped one game. It happens.

The turnovers/sloppiness were a fluke, bad night type of thing. The FTs are another issue. We are gonna need to drastically improve our FT shooting to make a real run.
Bruce needs to lock the fellas in the gym to shoot FTs for a few nights until our percentage rises.
Or... give a salary incentive for FT percentage.

I don't think anyone thought we'd go undefeated, but I sure would have liked to have lost to anyone BUT Bama. Every sidewalk fan on my social media feeds had to say something about it. I've probably been in Coleman Coliseum more than 99% of Bama fans.

We had many poor possessions where we settled for bad shots early in the shot clock. We couldn't take care of the ball and had many unforced turnovers. a lot of self inflicted damage for sure. When is the last time we had 2 guards foul out (and our #3 guard had 4 fouls)?

I read on twitter that Samir tweaked an achilles last night in the first half. That obviously didn't help things.
Our issues last night boiled down to: have to play more inspired from the tip, clean up lazy passes, work on FT shooting, and stop trying to force things when they aren't there.
Wiley also needs to work on his put backs. He's a great player but there were multiple times last night when he would get an offensive rebound and his put back attempt reminded me of a 2A girls basketball center just throwing it at the goal hoping it goes in.

I liked the part where we missed about 4 putback attempts on a possession...par for the course in terms of how the game went.

We missed so many shots at the rim. It wasn't just Wiley. bama did a good job of contesting those last night, but I bet we missed 10-15 layups.

A senior shouldnt have THAT kind of off night when you play your in state rival.
Samir needed to make adjustments after his first half, and it seemed like he got worse and just forced his play even more.
I agree that guys have off nights. I can remember Harper having a terrible night every once in a while. But not like Samir did.
