Crimson Red Sports

Coming up after wich v wash on ESPN2.

If you're looking for the wich wash score, it's in the ncaa tournament thread.   :-\

Okay, if you don't want me to cheer for the Witches, just say so.  What's this thread-switching stuff?

[settles in]  "Go witches."  

"Halftime??"  Time for a refresher drink.

Bama 72 - 68

C'mon Bama bring your agame tonight. Roll Tide!!

73-69

Bama 66-62

89-30

(http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/sp/ap_photo/20101229/all/l4925678.jpg)

Our game starts 20 minutes after the conclusion of this Wich/Wash fiasco. ESPN can't dutch us tonight.

I'm back after a weekend visiting my family.  



ROLL TIDE!!!!

welcome back

Thanks.


Nice to be back.   My nephew was wearing his Trent Richardson jersey when I arrived.  Slowly but surely I'm overcoming the "but you live in TN" crap he hears from his friends.

Early indoctrination is the key. RTR

I've been indoctrinating since birth..... but he's pretty surrounded up there. 

I'm imagining all the Wichita fans getting rooms at the Penn Hotel near the Garden. Seems the "rooms by the hour" sign should've tipped them off.

7-5 at the commercial

Releford length of floor for lay, then a steal and layup:  7-5 BAMA.  Time OUT.

Siamese twins? Sad.

Great quickness by Bama. 

3 by Davis = 10-5 BAMA.

XLNT pass inside to Green for dunk: 12-5 BAMA.

Another turnover on Releford (carry?).  12-7 BAMA.

Another missed free by us (Releford).  13-7.

"BAMA"

Green layup: 17-17

BAMA 19-17

Releford incredible layup: 21-17.

That guy is a magician.  

Anybody else watching or cheering ???????

Bama shooting 60%

And every shot is from 2' away.  We're playing well.

watching

cheering


Roll Tide!

Thank goodness.  RTR

Mitchell with a 3: 24-19 Bama.

Finally a foul called.

Crazy action under the basket.  We got hammered and missed 4 straight layups, but got fouled.  Shooting 2:  26-19 B-A-M-A.

28-19 (15-2 run for Bama).

We've got this.  They aren't anywhere near their scoring average.  They may not make it to 60.

Bama out quicking Colorado.

CO has at least 10 turnovers this half.  Great quickness by THE GOOD GUYS.

"Time out.  Bama ahead 28-19"

Not knowledgeable enough about basketball to post while watching....


so I yell at the good stuff and pay attention

Green from 10', and we're ahead by 11:  30-19.

 2:59Bama 30 Colo 21

 #+
keep yelling

30-21  2:25

CO hits a bomb: 30-24.

Swapping long shots now (not our game): 33-26.

Bama shooting 50%/ 40%

34-26 and just 25 secs.

Refs checking to see if CO hit the rim......

34-26 and CO holding for last shot.

Roll Tide!!!
Roll Tide!!!
Roll Tide!!!
Roll Tide!!!

Nice!!!

I am.

And I'm NOT finishing the laundry that's waiting on me.  Those of you who were posting during the women's NIT game know why.


Roll Tide!

Green got his first foul ( ;D) with 6 secs before half.

34-28

RELEFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RELEFORD like a rocket the length of the floor for layup and a foul:  36-28.  1.4 secs left.

Releford's awesome.

That layup going into half time could really set the tone for the rest of the game.

Foul called with 1.8 secs.  Hines foul (1st).  They shoot 1:1.

I can't believe they get 2 free throws with 1.8 seconds left.  What was that about?

55% free throw shooter nails them both.  36-30.

Colorado will need a huge 2nd half to hit their 80pt. per game average. RTR

Bonehead play.  Threw it out of bounds.  But CO missed last shot:  Halftime with a 6-pt lead.  36-30.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3435/3290440655_2e8081dc02.jpg)

Roll Tide!

Has Colorado missed a free throw?

Indeed.  The Tide is rolling.

We are quicker than these guys.  If the refs let us pressure, and not start calling ticky-tack fouls, we should win easily.

The announcers just said that CO's game in slashing to the rim.  We've blocked them out well with Green and Hines inside, plus pressured well outside.  We look good right now.  Just keep up the pressure and keep the refs whistles quiet.

8-8

That's what I thought.

And...we've made 2 of 7 ( :o :( :( :( )

Bama shooting 52/40% but 2-7 from the line.

CO has 11 turnovers; keeping us going again: DEFENSE.

Box score here: LINK (http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=310880038)

Anybody out there who can't see it and needs the chatter play-by-play?

Was that ssmith's picture on that $2 bill?

Must be different commercial.  WHAT?

We score first time down: 38-30.

Green with 16 . I said earlier he has an opportunity tonight.

And second time down (Green outside): 40-30.

Quick fouls on Green and Hines.  Both have 2.

CO with two 3's: 40-36.

Better D by CO and good ball movement: 42-38.

"Time to shut this nonsense down."

Roll Tide!

I hope this works like football and our defense wears them down soon.

 #+ ^

Just us? Enjoy the game.

Me too.  I want a romp.

44-41.  3's

46-44 3's

46-45.  CO finally missed a free throw.

GREEN HAS 4 FOULS SUDDENLY.

We need to get it together and survive this onslaught.

(http://www.latindate.net/dating-blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/c17c03bc-fac5-4119-889d-aca042a8c124-210x300.jpg)
"Be a believer."

This could be tough with Green on the bench.

The biggest difference is the CO defense.  They're playing better.  We've got to get those turnovers against them going again.  Our offense can't sustain this half-court stuff.

47-45.

Tied.

CO up by 1: 47-48.

No commercials when we trail.  Down by 1.

Okay, time for a Coach Grant come back speech.

Back in front 51-50.

3's are killing us.  Down by 4.

Intentional foul.

We've got to be able to shoot free throws.  Releford will be at the line, down by 4.

Finally a foul-- but it was unavoidable this time by the refs

Even a blind ref could call that one.

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE


Roll Tide!

5:24 to play.  Down by 3.

Bama ahead 58-57.

RTR

Quiet confidence.  60 - 57.

60-57 good guys


ROLL TIDE!!!!

(http://[size=20pt][color=red]ROLL TIDE!!!![/color][/size])

Winner take all.

Green fouls out with 22 points and 5 rebounds.  UGH.

I BELIEVE!


Roll Tide!!!

WOW

 :pray:

Up by one with 9.1 secs. left.  Yikes.  Need a steal.

That will do!

ROLLTIDEROLL

 #+ for all present.  Thanks, boys.

Really glad for Green the tourney did not end tonight.

What a shot by Releford. Can you believe that was his first points of the 2nd half? Roll Tide. We're going to the championship game. WOOT!   #+

Great game. Roll Tide.

This.

And good night.....

Whew! That was a little too close for comfort, but the guys didn't panic and got the job done. RTR!! Tide vs. Shockers for the title.

I hope they packed their scissors because they are going to cut down the nets on Thursday.

ROLL TIDE!

Its a da#@ good thing we believed

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL TIDE!! :dance: #+

 :gn:

:gn:

Roll Tide!

wish I could have been here , saw a few minutes of the game and it was close when I did ...

Thank God they won !  I needed that tonight ! 


ROLL TIDE !!!! WTG CAG and the boys !!!! net cutting here we come !

SuperCoach looks to be the winner.

He predicted 66-62.

CONGRATULATIONS, COACH
######

Thanks.  I knew they wouldn't get anywhere near their 80, and I figured we would be a little lower too away from home.

:applause:  "Excellent acceptance speech, Coach.  Here ya go."  [hands over trophy]

My son was at the game last night , they were sitting behind the Bama bench. I'm sure he was in the Roll Tide chant that I could hear during the game. I haven't talked with him since early in the game, I was wondering if the Bama fans did the Rammer Jammer in the Garden last night.

Give us a Rammer Jammer report.

Who had that huge pic of ____ (was it Grant?) ?

Here's a great scenario: Bama wins the NIT, VCU wins the NCAA, CAG recruits tearing down nets all over the place.  :jump:

Well one thing for sure Colorado was a formidable oppenet. RTR!

Will he be at the game tomorrow?  If so, do you think he would mind taking some pictures for us?  I would really love to have some really hi-res photos of us cutting down the nets if we win.  I plan to use these to make a new desktop background to share here if I can get them.

Tonight is the night for the big game am I right? RTR!

Sorry I didn't see your post until now, he wasn't able to go tonight, work.
