There’s a school in Texas that likes to squeeze round balls. Maybe they can help.

I do have to say the officials have been ridiculous. You can't breathe on Lurch Edey without getting a whistle while he parks in the lane and elbows you in the mouth. Even the announcers on TV were pointing out the touch fouls.

Basketball is terrible for the home team getting all the calls. Creighton was 21-29 at the line..Bama 8-13. Come on. Doug Shows and crew were the MVP's for the home team in a 3 point game.

Now Bama goes to Arizona, probably another close L with more home cooking.

They could be better defensively and these games will pay off later in the year, but this looks like an NIT year unfortunately. Close losses and moral victories do not get you in the NCAA's

The officials are not the reason why Bama is losing the games. Y’all have a lot of issues on defense.

Rare that I agree with this fat retard, but he’s right. Alabana just sucks dick hole. Not a good team.

Oats is not a great coach. He can recruit but he is missing something when it comes to the X & Os. The style of offense they play is very shallow.


I haven’t watched one millisecond of Bama this year. But, I agree. Oats plan ever year seems to be this: recruit really good shooters. Have all but one run to the three point line every play and jack up as many threes as possible.

They live by the 3 ball. If it falls, they win. If it doesn’t, they have no game.

They are ranked 103rd in KenPom in defensive efficiency. They are getting crushed because they can not defend a team worth a shite!

Not just by the 3. Oats wants either layups or dunks and 3s -- but no midrange 2s at all. It's fun to watch and play, I'm sure, but I'm not certain that strategy takes a team very far in the tourney. Opposing coaches know going in exactly how Bama is going to play on offense every game.

And as you said, when the 3s aren't falling, they lose.

Plus Bama's D allowed Creighton to shoot 55.8% from the floor overall while themselves shooting 46.7% overall and just 18.2% from 3 to Creighton's 33.3%. That's not a recipe for a W. It wasn't all about the gap in fouls.

Can't play a lick of defense and I don't see an epiphany coming on that front either. Their core problems are essentially unresolvable. There is no rim protection on this roster.

They scored 82 points without the 3s falling. Their problem is defensive not offensive.

Yeah they barely hit any 3s last night and could have still easily won. They just need to get over the hump and learn how to win together. We will be fine….

Last year they were murdering all aspects of the game both on and off the court.
