Alabama BB @ Wichita State Tonight

[SUPERCOACH]

I thought it was a horrible timeout.  When they blew the whistle I just knew the other coach called the timeout.  My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that we called it.  I would love to know why he did that and what he said to the team.

I think we have a much better team this year and will do pretty well in SEC play.  Unfortunately that may not be enough to get into the tournament.

Hind sight is a wonderful thing, it gives us all a chance to make the right decisions. All of these "what ifs" are only speculation that they would have made a difference. Sure, I wish some things had never happened last night but they did and the team lost, move on. I saw a lot of things in the game that I thought were game changers but I didn't see any one specific thing that I felt was the total reason for the loss. If there was one thing that I thought was a big reason for their loss, it was the missed free throws. Bama has been a good free throw shooting team all seaspon but last night just wasn't their night at the line.

That game is over and hopefully that's the way the team feels, go back to practice and work on the mistakes made last night, mentally and physically and get better. It would be nice if Bama had fans like Wichita State has at home games, I think their winning percentage would improve as well as the team morale.

I watched the game, and still have it on DVR (for the moment).  We should have won that game.  We choked, plain and simple.  The pressure of getting a huge road win got to them in the end and they caved.  Also, Taylor fouling out was huge on the defensive end at a time when we still had a big lead.

A victory could have launched a brilliant season.  I am afraid a heart breaking loss could have the opposite effect and it will be the same thing as previous years the rest of the way.  It is critical for CAG to regroup and get these guys thinking the right way.  It is obvious that we have quite a bit of talent and depth compared to previous years.  Coming that close to beating a highly ranked team on their home floor could light a fire under them if they look at things from the right point of view.  Or they could also look at it as yet another frustrating loss on the road, just like last year.  How they respond to this loss will be key to the outcome of the season.  If they can get over the psychological hurdles we can still have a great season.

Perhaps Grant should bend Saban's ear about the motivational training aspect, and what contractors Saban uses.   

But I agree with Jamos, a loss is a loss and time to move on.

We had possession of the ball so the other coach could not call the timeout. Speaking of timeouts, on the last play of the game we had 1 timeout and there were 9.4 seconds left in the game. We had to inbounds the ball at the far end of the court, if we inbound and call the timeout immediately, we get the ball at half court with at least 8.8-9.0 seconds left in the game. The coaches could have set up a play and have some real time to get a decent shot. Like I said, poor coaching strikes again.
