I believe that's what the kids these days call "getting mogged".

Alabama has dealt with injuries the entire season. Arkansas having players foul out is because Alabama got aggressive and the game went to overtime.

Don’t make excuses.

The shot chart from the game does not reflect this.

Alabama shot more 3's and Arkansas had 16 more shots inside the arc than Bama did. The stats do not agree with your explanation for the foul discrepancy.

Alabama also drove and had success getting to the rim. Of course Alabama is going to shoot more 3’s but overall the went inside, attacked and got Arkansas into foul trouble.

If Arkansas’ strategy was to shoot less 3’s and score in the paint, it didn’t work. Arkansas was 43/87, Alabama was 40/71 with a 58-46 advantage in the paint. There’s a reason Arkansas hit more 3’s and still lost.

When you can't play interior defense without getting whistled, that's usually how that works.

Arkansas went inside more then Alabama did. The only difference is they didn't have the home whistle.

You got home cookin'. It is what it is.

Those whistles led to Sherrell scoring 26 with 13 rebounds? Sounds more like Arkansas took away the three, got bullied and thus fouled more and now their fans are making excuses.

ETA - yall were up 13 near the midway point of the second half and couldn’t capitalize.

Literally yes. A tight whistle one way will cause interior defense to be less aggressive in contesting and concede more. This isn't a new concept.

Alabama was +15 in free throws and won by 2 in double OT. You're in denial.

It isn’t - neither is driving and being aggressive when a defense is committed to taking away the 3. Alabama adjusted, Alabama won.

Again, you're saying this like Alabama was the more aggressive team driving the paint. You weren't.

And yet Alabama scored 30 points from three and 58 paint points.

Find me a game this year where that same ratio applies for Alabama. Arkansas was short handed, Arkansas was dead set on running Alabama off the three point line, Alabama attacked and the stats show it.

You can cry “home whistle” but again, Arkansas shot 49%, Alabama shot 56% - Alabama’s strategy worked, Arkansas’ didn’t, Alabama won.

They are both really good players, and a joy to watch. No need to hate.

Print the rings. Why does this matter? Philon will be a lottery pick and maybe your guy too. Alabama won head to head, so scoreboard……..
