How did this a-hole make the cut? Even non-Bama fans were calling this clown out.
I’ll never understand how they reward officials and bad officiating. Even in football. The refs from the 2022 UT game were given a playoff game and then allowed to officiate the Auburn game this past season.

I know I've only seen one game of him, but I'd rather see Shows get our game than Kissinger again. Dude, moved into first place for worst official for me in one game. It's honestly impressive that he could be that bad and still somehow get selected for the Sweet 16. Is he the NCAA's Mr. Fix?

Only open if the defense is slacking. Its good to force 3s, stay out of foul trouble and rest a little on defense.
I think it mainly has to do with game pace. For everything Alabama does offensively to speed up gameplay, they also want to speed up the opponents as well on their offensive end because he feels like in a hurried up game we will always be the better prepared team for that style. Zone defense when played right grinds down pace and doesn't lend itself to a lot of bleed outs on rebounds, steals, etc. you just end up in a half court game.

When the D plays extra hard the legs become weary which affects our O. Especially on the outside shots. Anyone BB guru want to comment. I am theorizing before some of you call me out.

not Ala related but this is disappointing to me after the great season they just had

I only played at the high school level so that’s my level of expertise lol. However, our coach forced 3 of us to be shooters. Everyday, all day, shooting. We became deadly. Fast pace, 3 point game. The only time we struggled was when we had a hard defensive game from shots not falling. Bama was just about at the end of the tank when we won the other night. That’s the risk of this system, the steam will run out if the shots don’t fall on top of having to play hard defense on a strong inside team.

It's the new reality until someone somehow puts some limits on the portal and NIL. I can't blame the kids. If someone offered me a raise every year to jump to a different company I'd probably do it if the offer was big enough.

"Bama was just about at the end of the tank when we won the other night."
You're spot on. Our slump towards the end of the season that several attributed to "lack of effort" was what the NBA folks refer to as a rookie "hitting the wall." Oats acknowledged it without using the exact terminology. The break before the SECT and the first game loss gave the team time to get their legs back. So they were able to play with much more energy. But the poor shooting on wide open shots and misses at the rim against GCU IMO were indications that they were, as you said, at the end of the tank.
The critical question at this point is whether Oats recognized it and actually allows them to recover sufficiently or burns out what little they had left. Who gets the 50/50 balls, if we are a half step slow on D and commit fouls, outside shooting on open shots, etc. against UNC will be a good indication of whether he has actually learned the lesson.

The strategy Oats uses needs a deeper bench for sure but we lost so much from last year it’s prolly our best bet to just keep the peddle to the metal and hope for the best. Hard to just change philosophies at this point. We are what we are and I’ve enjoyed it.

Against Charleston, we played at a much quicker pace. We threw the ball ahead almost every trip and got shots up much quicker.
Against GCU, especially in the second half, we were walking the ball up the court most trips. I'm sure not having Trelly and Mark having to play 39 minutes had a lot to do with that, but we are so much better when we push the ball up the court. Even after made baskets.

This was also interesting

Yale, ranked 302nd in the nation shot 16 FTs per game. Vs Auburn, a team they were clearly at a physical disadvantage against, they shot 31.
Auburn shot 22 (1 below their average)
GCU shoots 25 per game. They shot 37 vs Alabama
Alabama shot 22 (1 below their average).

Under no circumstances do we want that a-hole.

KD leaving. Auburn insiders hinting that Broome might be staying. Pretty much the best case scenario for Auburn fans.
