Title: Bama played Creighton Tuesday; Creighton showed up, Bama not! Post by: pmull on March 13, 2016, 08:09:15 PM I assume we will go to Omaha since Creighton is the higher seeded team.
Quote No. 5 seed Alabama will face No. 4 seed Creighton in the first round of the NIT Tuesday at 8 p.m. CT. Both are 18-14. The NIT will be an opportunity for the Tide to end a promising first season under first-year coach Avery Johnson on a positive note. Without a single player that averaged more than 8.2 points per game last season, UA started 16-9 and 7-6 in the SEC, beat four ranked teams and won a game in the SEC tournament for the first time since 2013. What makes this season any bit disappointing for Johnson and Alabama is that the Tide was so close to making that first NCAA tournament appearance since 2012. http://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/index.ssf/2016/03/alabama_misses_ncaa_tournament.html#incart_river_index Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: pmull on March 13, 2016, 08:18:08 PM Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia are in the NIT. LSU is left out.

Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: ricky023 on March 13, 2016, 10:30:35 PM Golly, I can't believe USCe didn't maker it. You know I believe our football prowess in the SEC makes the rest of the country so jealous that any way they can come up with to slight any SEC out of any tourney they will do it. I am really sick for some of our teams that should be playing, besides we beat Ole Miss and where are they at? RTR!

I see several teams that could've or should've been in the NCAA. I have to say I won't watch none of the NCAA tourney but I won't watch the NIT either because tomorrow the cable company can go away and their monthly cost. I got Netflix through my daughter and we can use the money to repair our home now. lol, Go Bama. RTR!
Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: Jamos on March 15, 2016, 05:47:10 PM Some of the players got into a fight at practice yesterday and CAJ just loved it, said he's been looking for some of the players to get a little fired up. Let's see if any of that type of energy carries over into the game tonight. ;)

Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 15, 2016, 08:18:55 PM Good game for Tide against a Big East team. Good energy & movement, so far. 9-8 Tide.
:popcorn2: Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 15, 2016, 08:20:13 PM Jimmy Taylor has boards for hands. He's mishandled the ball 3 times already.
Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: 2Stater on March 15, 2016, 08:21:31 PM We look pretty tight so far.
Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: 2Stater on March 15, 2016, 08:41:09 PM Bama is ice cold. They must be shooting 10-15% from the field. Awful. Creighton leads 25-16.
Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: 2Stater on March 15, 2016, 08:51:22 PM Uggggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! How blasted ugly was that first half? Bama shooting about 24% from the field and most of those were early.
Creighton leads 30-19. Apparently the team fighting amongst themselves in practice, didn't help. Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: Chechem on March 15, 2016, 09:08:13 PM RELEASE THE OFFENSE!! >:( >:(

Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 16, 2016, 02:53:56 AM Glad I forgot to watch this stinker. Now go get some players in here.
Title: Re: NIT: Bama to play Creighton Tuesday 8:00 Post by: pmull on March 16, 2016, 06:46:54 AM What once looked like a promising season ended badly.We ended the season 2-6 in our last 8 games. We lost our last two games by a combined 44 points.
I am ready to move on to next season. Title: Re: Bama played Creighton Tuesday; Creighton showed up, Bama not! Post by: Catch Prothro on March 16, 2016, 06:57:11 AM (http://rs58.pbsrc.com/albums/g240/hupsi-u2/Comics/pepelepew.gif~c200)
Title: Re: Bama played Creighton Tuesday; Creighton showed up, Bama not! Post by: 2Stater on March 16, 2016, 07:04:52 AM One of the announcers at the game said it well, concerning Bama's season: "When Alabama went from being the hunter to the hunted, things went south from there".
Title: Re: Bama played Creighton Tuesday; Creighton showed up, Bama not! Post by: BillBrosky on March 16, 2016, 07:15:56 AM I do remember getting slapped away from the children's table for sticking my finger in my sister's dinner roll.
Fond memories of my childhood brought to you by Bill and Jimmy Dean's fine breakfast foods. Title: Re: Bama played Creighton Tuesday; Creighton showed up, Bama not!

Post by: ricky023 on March 16, 2016, 08:03:06 AM Well I didn't get to see it but next year I have to think about it, we will be young next year won't we? So it is going to take probably 4 to 5 years to really have a chance to play big BB. The NCAA is going to HAVE to see us at 23 or 24 wins to invite us I guess. After last night can't blame them from what I read here. RTR!
