Crimson Red Sports

The University of Alabama men's basketball team hasn't lost a non-conference true home game since December of 2013. The Crimson Tide can take that streak into 2016 with a victory tonight over Jacksonville State.

Would sure be good to have Hale back playing tonight.

We should be able to beat J-ville with out a lot of hard work shouldn't we? RTR!

JSU 21-17, 6:30 left in first half. Tide looking bad.



 :popcorn2:

JSU slapping us around on rebounds, 15-9. Tide 2/5 FT's.




 :wall:

You watching this game online?

23-21 JSU, 4:20 left in half. JSU 5/11 on 3 pointers, Tide 3/9.




 :facepalm:

No, listening on radio.

29-27 JSU  Half

One player for JSU is keeping them in the game, Jared Hamilton has 16 points.



 :facepalm:

Kessens & Edwards carrying the Tide. D. Hall was doing good on boards but got in foul trouble.



 :dunno:

Give him a scholarship!

Terrible offensive production in the first half for the Tide.

JSU announcers have been whining all game about Tide fouling & getting away with it. I think Stan White must be working the game. 30-29 JSU. We need to start using our size inside with Taylor, Kessens, & Hall.



 :dog:

JSU getting in serious foul trouble. One player with 4, 2 others have 3. Tide getting active and on 6-0 run.
33-30 Tide. Taylor blocks shot then Obasohan fouled going to basket.

Tide 8/15 FT's.


 :wall:

Tide 40-32  12:58 left. JSU has 2 players with 4 fouls, & 2 with 3. 44-33 Tide



 :popcorn2:

Tide D has shut JSU down. JSU is 2/11 in 2nd half. Now, 3/12. 46-38 Tide. Norris & Taylor big in 2nd half.

any way to  watch the game on line?

ESPN3

WATCHESPN is showing it.

JSU's best rebounder is fouled out. Three of their other starters have 4 fouls each. Keep pounding the ball inside. 51-50 Tide.

Our FT shooting is killing us.




 :deadhorse:

JSU just lost a good scorer on a foul out. JSU has 3 players with 4 fouls each on floor.

JSU is 4-10 for the year. Very embarrassing performance by Alabama. Their tallest starter is 6'7", another is 6'6". Other starters are 6'4", 6'2", & 6'2". Wow. What a lousy performance by Tide.


 :facepalm:

Tide 5/22 on 3 pointers.



 :-X

Why did Coleman take a 3 pointer with a few seconds left in a tie game? What is going on?

Another JSU player fouled out. Obasohan misses both FT's. Can you believe this crap? 55 all.

OVERTIME. I wonder if we can practice FT shooting during the break?

ESPN killed ROKU.

fekem

NO Carolina basketball.

NO ESPNU.

fekem.

I have never liked Herbie and his blonde-tips.

63-57 Tide. Coleman fouled on drive to basket. He hits both, 65-57. :35 left in game.

67-59 Tide. Final.



 :stars:

We played terrible but we got out with a win.

A win is a win.  WOOT!

WatchESPN had the game on their lineup, but I wasn't able to access it. Glad we won, even though it was apparently a very ugly game.

Did Hale play?

Hey hammer down. I rather another number in the win column than I had the loss column. RTR!

Nope.

I was looking for something to give me confidence going into SEC play.  These last two games didn't do it.

Hale dressed out but did not play. His shirt tail was never tucked in and his shoes were his personal ones (gray color and unlike others) and were not laced up. He was not expecting to play IMO.

I watched the game on ESPN3 (WatchESPN). Maybe you should pay your cable bill?  :dunno:

According to ESPN our RPI rose from 26 to 33 and our SOS went up to 76 after the Jax St loss. This game could have tanked our entire season if we had not woke up in overtime.

FYI Jax St RPI is 334 with a 2-11 record. Pretty poor showing by us last night but we survived.

 :lol2:

I'm not sure it was available to watch in Fla. It said "Unauthorized user code". I was able to watch the beginning of the TT-LSU game before they got it on TV, so I'm not sure what the deal was.

I wonder if we play to the talent of the other team? We have beaten some good teams this year with the likes of: ND, Wichita State and such. RTR!

It wasn't the game that we all expected and wanted to see but as some said, it was a win. You could definitely see the "holiday effect" on the team but Jacksonville State played their heart out and almost won the game. I think Bama gains more than a win out of this game, they had to reach inside of themselves and find a will to win and they did. They could very easily have done what the team had been doing the past few years, lose.

It was another close game but with each of these close games, regardless of the opponent, there is something that can be learned and I think this team is learning, faster than what some may want to believe. As it was said in the Karate Kid movie, "patience Grasshopper", and that is exactly the mood that I am trying to stay in this year. This team has a lot of energy and a will to win, plus a very good coach and staff and that's something us fans haven't seen in a very long time wouldn't you say.  ;)

I'm going with that, too, J.  ;)

No he wasn't. I'm not sure that he even talked with the other players during the game. He didn't have any bandages that could be seen or seemed to be favoring and injury of any type. This has been one of the best kept secrets ever on the Bama athletic campus. There's a lot of opinions floating around with most thinking it is drug related but I haven't heard a peep out of anyone that might be in the know. :dunno:

Nor have I, and I have inquired.

I guess the "holiday effect" didn't happen to JSU. What bothers me is that JSU is a lousy team (4-11), it's tallest starter was 6'7". This is a big concern with the SEC season around the corner. This game is definitely a wake-up call for Bama & I bet CAJ will approach it that way.
