Albama vs Tennessee in Basketball

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

UT 17/26 FT, Tide 6/9. Without FT’s UT would be dead as a doornail right now.



 

Regular season college basketball has been the most lopsided home officiating for years.

Back when Wimp and Sonny had their morning show on JOX, the one thing they always agreed on was "you're down by 15 going into Rupp Arena."

Not sure how long it's been since we've beaten a #7 team on the road, but I'd imagine it's been a month of Sundays.

TIDE WINS!!!! 71-63.

Hell of a job by Bama.  Got to start hitting those free throws.

[Marshal Dillon]

I've seen Alabama basketball in these types of positions several times in the last few years, and we seem to lose about 90% of them.   Hopefully the team has grown and we can show some mettle in the last 8 minutes.

BINGO!! I said the same thing to my wife. This was a big test for Bama and they passed it. We may have a real PG in Quinerly. Tennessee and Rick Barnes are the real deal which makes this win so good.

It wasn't a particularly pretty game, but what a big win!  Conference road wins are always so hard to come by, but over a top 10 team.  Wow!  Roll Tide!

Thought CNO has fixed our FT problem last year.  Guess not.

Anyway, an SEC road win is always a biggie.  

[Marshal Dillon]

We have started 2-0 in conference play which is great.

That's one of the things that's more on the individual.  You can't waste practice time making everyone shoot 200 FTs in practice.  I don't know what the NCAA limit is on practice/film/workout time a week in basketball (it's 20 hrs for football and I'd imagine it's less for BBall).  Something like FTs has to be individual pride and dedication.

FTs are also probably the shot that's the most "mental" since you have what seems like forever to think about it.

Good stuff as always MD. I will add:

Good:

Held high powered UT to 63 points, they avg 79.
We rebounded well. UT has been killing opponents on the boards.
We had 11 assists.
Josh Primo is going to be a stud.

Bad:

Alex Reese could not buy a bucket and did not score.
We only forced 9 UT turnovers

Ugly:

Free throws shooting must improve. Only Quinerly (2-2) shot over 50% at the line.

[ricky023]

Our stats make the score more interesting. If we had bad somewhere we had to have great to beat the #7 team in the nation and was undefeated. RTR!
