Basketball vs. Arkansas - Sat 5PM SECN

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

At least we know Beth Mowens isn't in Tuscaloosa.  (she's currently calling the A&M-Vandy game before ours)

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

We're still playing the 2nd half of the Auburn game apparently. Down 7-0 right off the bat.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Giddens has fumbled it away twice and Key/Sexton messed up a 2ft pass all in the last 90 seconds.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Only down 16-12, so far, which is a freaking miracle considering the best descriptor for our play so far is "bumbling."

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Had no typing fingers while I grilled some burgers and made a salad.

Bama up 41-37 with 16:11 left in the 2nd half.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

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.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

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.

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Down by five points with 1:34 left.  <crosses fingers>

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

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.

Losing sucks. Drowning my sorrows at Nick’s In The Sticks while waiting on a table.

It's at least a 3 Nicodemus night!

It is even harder to win basketball games when the other team scores more points than your 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.

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.

[Catch Prothro]

Focus was terrible.  No mental discipline.  Way too many turnovers (17?).  Yuck.
