Not a good sign for Bama that Duke has a lot of turnovers and is still up by 9.

Turnovers are even 6 -6 and Bama is leading 9-7 in pts off turnovers. Duke getting easy buckets in the paint and Bama going 5-19 from 3 is the difference.

Bama has had more shot attempts than Duke and is just missing. Duke isn't stopping what Bama wants to do. Bama just isn't finishing.


The first possession of the game was a shot clock violation after our shot attempt missed the rim. They’ve got multiple blocks, forced TOs, and jump balls. We’ve gotten some O boards, partly due to shooting poorly, but Duke’s defense has absolutely stopped us on lots of possessions. Don’t think Sherell shooting 4 3s, Reid and Grant both shooting 3s, etc. was a big part of our game plan.

Our Only chance to win this game is if we hit some big 3s early in the second half.

Cooper Flagg has played like shite and that won’t last forever

We're just whiffing on our shots.


Other than the two made 3’s they dared Sherrell to take we have barely had an open shot all night. Multiple possessions have resulted in the shot clock being a factor or having to take mid range shots, both of which Bama hates to do.

Nah, they're focusing on Mark Sears. He just needs to figure out how to use that to our advantage.

Your guy Barkley said the same thing to start the half: Bama is shooting poorly.

Duke shooting 56% to Bama's 40% is the difference. Yet it's only a 9 point game. Bama can score in bunches.

He said Bama can't beat Duke in a half court game which is obvious to anyone watching.

The ONLY chance Bama has is to get out and run.

Hard to do when Duke doesn't miss many shots. And when we do we don't attack the rim

Duke doesnt take stupid 3s that end in long rebounds.

Our transition will only work if our guards can run before they can set back up.

So far their length has been a problem for our little guards. Our big men don’t create their own shots they have to be assisted

To have any chance, Bama needs to make this second half a NASCAR, street-fight, 3-point shooting contest.

They're shooting 56%. It's not like they're shooting 75%. And Duke had a single rebound advantage.

Just whiffing. Open look after open look after open look.

ETA: Can't even hit an open dunk.
