ESPN2 now. 10-8 K-State

We have played over 5 minutes WITH NO TURNOVERS!



 :o :o :o

Tide 3/5 in 3 pointers. 12-11 K-State




 :popcorn2:

Tide not in-sync on defense. K-State playing short-handed. Should catch up to them late in game. 20-18 KSU.

KSU killing us in offensive rebounds, 6 to 2. KSU has taken 24 shots, Tide 13.



 :panic:

KSU has 8 fouls, Tide only 4. KSU 25 Tide 23. We can not afford to lose to this team. We are at home and K-State program is struggling.



 :popcorn2:

KSU is playing their game and keeping us at a slow pace. KSU has 26 shots, we have 14. KSU is NOT a 3 point shooting team but they are 5/10 right now.




 :facepalm:

We are being out-played and out-hustled right now. Reese misses lay-up. 30-25 KSU.



 :wall:

KSU 8 off. rebounds, Tide 2. 34 all.




 :popcorn2:

37-36 KSU  HALF-TIME




 :stop:

KSU has taken 34 shots, we have 20 shots at goal. This is how good the KSU defense hs been. Slowing the game down, limiting our shots, killing us with offensive rebounds.




 :dog:

Tide showing energy with 5-0 run, 41-37 Tide. Great steal and score by Kira Lewis, 43-37. Two more off. rebounds to K-State. 43-38 Tide.



 :wall: :wall: :wall:

Petty with 4 fouls, he sits. We have 2 offensive rebounds, KSU 16. Unbelievable. Reese & Shackleford need to start scoring. 47-43 Tide.




 :clap:

Great pass by Jones & score by Shackleford. Shackleford now hits a 3, 53-43 Tide. Glad they listened to me.
Now Lewis hits 3, 56-43 Tide.




 :clap: :clap: :clap:

Tide 7/14 3 pointers. 15/19 FT 79%. Jones drives and scores and fouled. 59-43 Tide. Tide has kicked it into high gear with 14-0 run. Block by Bama. Long 3 by KSU 59-46, then offensive foul by Tide.




 :popcorn2:

Tide playing sloppy, 61-55 Tide. Tide can’t get penetration or get off a good shot. Another offensive rebound for KSU. Lewis turnover and score by KSU, 61-58 Tide. Lewis trying to do too much. Too many Tide players standing around and watching instead of playing.

77-74 Tide



TIDE WINS!

Bama held on and figured out a way to win.  Made FTs late in some critical situations.  (Can't believe I just wrote that!)  But all this sloppy play late in games is gonna hurt if they don't get it cleaned up.

I watched the Baylor-Florida game afterwards. How did we not beat Fla. They are awful.

MD thanks for all the updates to keep us informed. It looks like we are a normal BB team. We do good a few times and have a bad day BUT we still get the ugly win. That is what makes tourney teams good. RTR!

Home cooking (and some terrible late game play).

We've gotta stop putting "now" on titles!   :lol2:

The SEC/Big 12 Challenge was split with 5 wins each. SEC winners were Auburn, LSU, Arkansas, Kentucky and Alabama. SEC losers were Miss State, Texas A&M, Florida, Tenn and Missouri.

It was another win for Bama and it wasn't pretty but it was another win and that is very important as we get close to tournament time. If there is one huge positive with the team so far it is the number of fans turning out for the games. The last three games have been well attended, over 10,000 at each game with one being a sellout and another very close to a sellout and that was one of their major goals for this season, put the fans back in the seats. The games are sometimes tough to watch but I see a lot of effort from this team and that is something I haven't seen in many years at Coleman. I think Coach Oats will recruit well and there are brighter days ahead for the program.

Thanks J. How is the atmosphere in Coleman these days?

Coach Nate a little irritated by the performance.

(http://“We’ll take the win right now and hopefully learn," he said. “And guys will be mature enough to know that we need to fix a lot of things even though we won.”“Our offensive rebounding that we gave up is disastrous and really could have cost us the game,” Oats said. “Our turnovers are still too high. They got 31 more field goal attempts up than us. That’s usually not a recipe for winning games.”“For him (Petty) to get a [technical] and pick up his fourth [foul] is a big deal," Oats said. “That’s early in the second half. We needed him. He’s got to learn from that.”)
