Title: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on January 31, 2015, 08:03:09 AM Quote Alabama will close out the month of January when it travels to Lexington, Ky., where the Tide will take on No. 1 Kentucky on Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network. It will mark the second meeting in two weeks between the teams, as the Wildcats captured a 70-48 win in Tuscaloosa on Jan. 17. http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/013015aab.html Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: roll tide roll on January 31, 2015, 08:06:20 AM Quote Alabama will close out the month of January when it travels to Lexington, Ky., where the Tide will take on No. 1 Kentucky on Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on January 31, 2015, 08:12:02 AM I have been dreading this road trip all year. I do not see anyway to win this game but I hope we play well at make a game out of it. I am not sure what to expect. Whatever happens today will not define the rest of the season. I expect to come out of this game 3-5 in SEC play. How we do from there on out will define the season. The team could quit or they could keep fighting and win some games. I hope they fight. I have made up my mind we need a coaching change but this is still our team and we need to support them.

Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on January 31, 2015, 11:11:49 AM Read the article linked in the opening post. Lower leg is hurt.
Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: Marshal Dillon on January 31, 2015, 11:16:31 AM What happened to Tarrant? Quote "Ricky Tarrant will be out (Saturday). He's got a lower leg injury, so he won't be available. We'll know more about his status after the weekend. As far as right now, he's out for tomorrow's game, and that's all we really know as of right now." Without Tarrant we are really in trouble. He's the only guy not hesitant or afraid to take the big shot. :wall: Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: Jamos on January 31, 2015, 05:13:08 PM At least I don't have to threaten to leave at halftime when I get upset tonight, I can just change the channel. ;)
Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: ricky023 on January 31, 2015, 05:48:30 PM Awww, hang on my friend. Bama is going to come out in a 2-3 zone and hammer Kentucky in the first half. RTR!

Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on January 31, 2015, 06:26:25 PM We are playing hard. We just can not match up with the talent UK has. Their size and length is too much for us.

We have to tighten up right now because we are on the verge of a blow-out.

:facepalm: Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on January 31, 2015, 06:39:11 PM It is getting ugly. We have no answer for the UK size and length. I will be glad to get this game over and get on with the rest of our season. We can at least complete with the rest of the SEC.

CAG has us playing hard. The loss of Tarrant is a killer plus UK is shooting 20/32, but our D has been bad, too. Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: ALTideUp on January 31, 2015, 09:53:58 PM The ESPN highlights literally do not show a single Bama basket. They do not even show, even for a second, a Bama player in possession of the basketball. I see we played them to within two in the 2nd. That's as close to good news as we get tonight.
The worse it gets the more respect I have for Levi, playing his heart out every game. Title: Re: Alabama At No. 1 Kentucky (6:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on February 01, 2015, 07:57:14 AM Thank goodness there is no more games on the schedule with UK. We get Mizzou at home on Wednesday. Surely we will play better in that game than we did against the barn and Florida. Then we have a stretch of LSU away, Miss State away, Vandy home and barn away. There are some wins in that even though several are away from home.

They do not even show, even for a second, a Bama player in possession of the basketball. I see we played them to within two in the 2nd. That's as close to good news as we get tonight. Yes, Bama played a better second half, which is typical of this team.The worse it gets the more respect I have for Levi, playing his heart out every game. I heard the announcers say that Kentucky had its highest FG % of the season in this game. They were hot, more talented, and Bama had no chance. I changed the channel to watch Duke v. Virginia. A very good game with two very talented teams. The talent on the court was something you don't see watching Bama playing, except when they play KY. Duke hit two late threes and went on an 11-0 run in the final few minutes to give Virginia their first loss of the season. The main thing Bama is missing is a good Big player under the basket. Between lack of rebounds and poor passing (turnovers), Bama has frequently shot themselves in the foot this season. If they weren't sloppy with the basketball, this Bama team could actually be towards the top of the SEC. If they had a decent Big guy under the basket and stopped the turnovers, they might even be second to Kentucky.

There is not a chance in this world that Bill Battle would have fired anyone when he first arrived unless Judy Bonner had told him to and that wasn't going to happen. Battle has given Grant 2 years which I consider the norm under those circumstances. I firmly believe that there will be a coaching change in the near future so let's move on because there is nothing that can change what has already happened, only in the future can something change. I've enjoyed reading the opinions on who might make a good coach at Bama, it's much more enjoyable to read.
