re: Alabama vs Texas A&M

Lolololol, and this is why everyone hates a gump.

Because we clearly and rationally point out reality?

Bama was already SEC Champs and won't effect their seeding. It was meaningless loss but whatever makes you sleep tonight

---

One resulted in 3 points from the foul line for TAMU on what was an obviously cleanly blocked shot,

Check the replay, bud. Miller hits Taylor across both wrists on the 3 attempt.

When you have arguably the best team inn the country, it's not a good look to whine like a little bitch.

Hard to beat the zebras. Difference in free throws was the difference in the game and then some. When one team takes nearly 3x as many FTs as the other, the refs are definitely too involved.

---

this is why people hate Bama. yall get unquestioned favoritism by SEC (see Auburn travesty this week)

and then you bitch about call discrepancy when you are a pussy 3pt shooting team playing a hard driving team that hapoens to lead the country in free throws attempted because of their relentless attack of the basket.

Really, Bama- y’all should grow up and wean yourself off the Birmingham tit.

dunno. The most disciplined player on our team fouled out solely due to phantom calls. One resulted in 3 points from the foul line for TAMU on what was an obviously cleanly blocked shot, and one removed a 3-point play on what was clearly not a charge, and collectively these calls removed the best player in the league, and possibly the nation, from the game. Not sure how one could claim that didn't affect the ending.

This is so fricking stupid. The charge was close, but certainly not a phantom call. Charges are like that. Credit A&M defense. The hack on the three was obvious as hell. On his 5th foul he tackled Dennis. All three were good calls, you inbred doofus.

All this stupid arse bitching by Bama fans is cracking me up. Why are they taking this loss so hard? I guess they’re pretty shook that they haven’t beaten A&M in basketball since 2018.

I was there as a freshman in 89 and the team was never any good. Happy to see the joint packed and loud.

I arrived in '90. The Barone era was pretty tough to watch.

Does not bold well for TAMU moving forward that they needed that level of assist from the officials on a night when Bama couldn't hit a 3 to save their lives.

---

what?

Most of those were legit fouls called on Alabama, maybe you're seeing this in crimson-colored sunglasses

quote:

---

The one against Miller was especially egregious and took 3 points off the board.

---

Explain how that foul was "egregious", don't want to flame, I just want to know

It was clearly a blocking foul. Like multiple other charges they called, the defender was sliding under the player while in the air. That isn't a charge by any interpretation.

This one was especially egregious because, coupled with the missed goaltending call, it took 5 points off the board that would have put Bama up by two scores. Instead, TAMU goes to the free throw line. 7 point swing on just those two terrible calls or no-calls.

Then add in the terrible foul that was clearly all ball on the 3 point shot, and you've got a 10 point swing. The refs changed the outcome of the game.

ETA: It is what it is. We should be able to win even with bad calls from the refs. Stupid turnovers harmed us the whole game. That doesn't mean I'm going to lie and pretend those awful calls and no-calls didn't happen.
