Title: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 04:59:59 PM At least we know Beth Mowens isn't in Tuscaloosa. (she's currently calling the A&M-Vandy game before ours)
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 05:05:23 PM We're still playing the 2nd half of the Auburn game apparently. Down 7-0 right off the bat.
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 05:12:46 PM Giddens has fumbled it away twice and Key/Sexton messed up a 2ft pass all in the last 90 seconds.
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 05:21:31 PM Only down 16-12, so far, which is a freaking miracle considering the best descriptor for our play so far is "bumbling."

Bama up 41-37 with 16:11 left in the 2nd half. Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 06:37:35 PM We have absolutely no sustained focus. I'm not sure at what point you quit saying "they're young" and start calling it a coaching issue.
Hogs up 56-53. Ingram going to the line with 7:44 left. Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 06:50:12 PM This is concerning. A whole lot of ugly play in this game. It doesn't feel like we've improved. Arkansas has not played a very good game, and we're trainling by 8.
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 06:57:28 PM Down by five points with 1:34 left. <crosses fingers>
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on February 24, 2018, 07:15:27 PM 73-70 loss.
It's been a bad three game stretch for Bama basketball. I'm not sure if they young players are mentally fatigued and have lost focus, but there seems to have been some regression. It's really hard to win basketball games when you consistently have more turnovers and fewer rebounds than the other team.

It's at least a 3 Nicodemus night! Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: N.AL-Tider on February 25, 2018, 08:09:48 AM 73-70 loss. It is even harder to win basketball games when the other team scores more points than your team... :'(It's been a bad three game stretch for Bama basketball.

Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: pmull on February 25, 2018, 08:42:01 AM 73-70 loss. It's been a bad three game stretch for Bama basketball. I'm not sure if they young players are mentally fatigued and have lost focus, but there seems to have been some regression. It's really hard to win basketball games when you consistently have more turnovers and fewer rebounds than the other team. Arkansas played harder and was more physical than us. Their defense was very aggressive causing us problems getting into our offense. Most processions the shot clock was under 15 before we got in our offense and made our first pass. We had several shot clock violations and several more just throw up a shot before the clock runs out. Those are wasted processions equal to a turnover. We had no answer for their #10. We were out rebounded, out scored and out played in the post. Hall had 4 points and Giddens had 0 rebounds and did not score. It appeared to me Arkansas wanted this game more than we did. Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: hscoach on February 25, 2018, 09:12:13 AM I see players turning down open shots. Is this a confidence thing or a coaching thing about running clock? How many 30 second violations did Bama have yesterday, I think 3 or 4. They also had a couple of last second shot that were horrible. A good point is that it looked like Key was getting more involved with the offense.
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Catch Prothro on February 25, 2018, 10:47:57 AM Focus was terrible. No mental discipline. Way too many turnovers (17?). Yuck. :yuck:
Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: Chechem on February 25, 2018, 11:00:07 AM I may have to bail on bb.
The whole issue is ugly right now. And losing doesn't help! :( Title: Re: Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN Post by: 2Stater on February 25, 2018, 02:14:19 PM It's as ugly as it gets, right now. Biggest black eye in sports since maybe the "Black Sox" scandal? :dunno:
