RPI 68 (ESPN)
SOS 69


GEORGIA

14-12, 6-8
RPI 55
SOS 13



 :dog:     

SOS is not going to do us many favors down the stretch. We really can't afford to lose either of our last two regular season games, and it may still take running the table in the SEC tourney.

Tide has 7 points in first 10 minutes. 14-7 UGA.




 :facepalm:

Davis hits back-to-back 3's. UGA 18 Tide 10.

Ingram with 3 fouls already. He has no points, rebounds, and 1 assist.



 :facepalm:

Tide 2/10 3 pointers



 :deadhorse:

Tide FG% 5/24 20.8% 


 :(

30-18 UGA  Half



 :wall:    :facepalm:   :eyeroll:

Tide making a run & lots of energy from the fans. 40-36 UGA. Davis with 15, Hall 9 points. We're driving the basket and not throwing up wild 3's.



 :clap:

54-51 UGA     Key 14 points, Davis 17




 :clap:

Once again, total inconsistency. Norris did nothing all game, same with Collins, and Johnson. Ingram disappeared in the 1st half.

So frustrating and disappointing. The tournament is out of the picture. All we can do is wait for the recruits to arrive and hope next year's team can find a way to score.

Indeed!  I could have kicked a puppy after watching that.
Think how disappointed Jamos and 2 were; they went to the game. 
 :(

Disappointing, but not surprising.  This team has been inconsistent all season.  Sloppy, ugly first half.  Played much better in the second half, but not enough for the win.  Not sure why the team plays poorly at home, did they stay in a hotel?

Certainly not Holiday Inn Express!!   :lol2:

I'm glad to see I am not alone in being so disappointed & frustrated about this loss at home. CAJ took the blame for the loss and I agree, this is on him and the players. We have been scoring well when we drive to the basket, create action under the basket, use our size to rebound missed shots, and get everyone involved in the game due to this activity. Instead, we go back to throwing up 3's, standing around, and basically watching each other. Why did the coach allow this to happen in the first half? What was he thinking? I think of our first 14 shots, 10 were 3 point attempts & we hit 2. WTH was that all about. We finished 4/23 in 3 pointers for 17%. I just don't understand why this keeps happening and we keep shooting so many 3's, mostly in vain. We are not a 3 point shooting team.

Yeah, it was the Hotel California.  They checked out, but they could never leave.

I watched the game last night. I thought we might pull it out, but, I still see a little light at the end of the tunnel!

Yeah, I do too, just not the Big Dance, probably the hot dog & potato chips lunch also called the NIT.

Truthfully the NIT might be better for this team. They'd probably go out in the first round of the tournament, but could make it to NYC in the NIT if they put three solid games together.   

:lol:

Bama's top scorers are freshmen, plus the incoming class, give hope for the future.  So yes, another "Wait until next year" season, but things finally do seem to be moving in the right direction.   :unsure:
