Game thread?

[Drebin]

We're kinda loose with the ball early. Gotta clean that up.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

No blood no foul being the name of a bama game.

 

[Slow Natives]

As great as we are on defense, we give up so many wide open 3s.

 

[Dawghouse]

Won't matter if bama keeps hitting 3s like this.

 

[Podgy]

Glad the announcers addressed you know what. I just wish they had said that Alabama has good shooters and of their best shooters is out.

 

[RockyDog]

That punk hit a 3 and made a finger gun

 

[Drebin]

They won't. We just can't have so many empty possessions.

[MSUDAWGFAN]

I'm already having to put it on mute because I'm tired of hearing these announcers lick Nate Oats' balls.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

It's rough in there, real rough.

 

[Drebin]

As great as we are on defense, we give up so many wide open 3s.

That's kinda by design though. It worked to our benefit yesterday, but also hurt us against Vandy.

We change defenses often though. Jans will make an adjustment.

 

[Dawghouse]

Does bama normally chuck up this many 3s?

[RockyDog]

Bama has hit a cold steak and we turn it over and throw up air balls. Sheesh

 

[Drebin]

It's the poison of starting a game hot. We'd be in really good shape here if we could secure a damn rebound and quit turning the ball over.

 

[RockyDog]

We’ve matched their cold streak and been worse

 

[mstateglfr]

Does bama normally chuck up this many 3s?

they shoot 29 per game on average...and make 10

 

[mstateglfr]

Predator has entered the game.

 

[Slow Natives]

I really do love this team, but sometimes it just feels like we have a bunch of football players playing basketball. Hard working guys that are just not quite basketball players.

 

[RockyDog]

Take a TO! Damn JANS!!

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

Our guards are getting beat badly off the dribble.

 

[Drebin]

If Tolu would post his guy up deeper it would be an all you can score buffet. Instead we're getting the ball to him further out from the basket where he's not comfortable and allowing other guys to run at him defensively. And we're forcing bad shots. Just keep it simple and get the ball to Tolu in the post.

Alabama will go stretches where they don't score today. We just have to take advantage by rebounding and not being stupid with the basketball.

 

[Podgy]

"We just want to do the right thing"

Of course they do. Who would ever doubt their intentions?

 

[Seinfeld]

Are we going to crack 40 today?

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

They have not scored a point since I walked in the room to watch this game. Only problem is Bama has scored either. They should be beating us by 30 points and they may be sorry that they're not I hope so.

Nobody wants to shoot the ball, and if we do try to take it to the damn goal, they won't call foul on Alabama, so what are we gonna do? Ask for some points, please.

 

[Drebin]

Why do all Tennessee fans look like douchebags?

 

[jkpz28]

This is looking sad.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Why do all Tennessee fans look like douchebags?

It’s a God given talent that they possess.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

This reminds me... the day the doctor looked at my mom after I was born and said I'm afraid this is gonna only get uglier.

 

[L4Dawg]

The effort just isn't there today.

 

[patdog]

Why do all Tennessee fans look like douchebags?

How could they look like anything else?

 

[Seinfeld]

As much energy and effort as this team has shown all year, this is frankly a downright pathetic performance

 

[Drebin]

I've seen enough. I've watched this team all year and this is the first time I've seen us look this bad....and I mean out hustled, out physical-ed, out effort-ed, and generally not showing up for a game. This is something we saw all last year, but I haven't seen under Jans until today. I'll give Bama some credit for how they're playing defense, but we played much better than this the first two times we played them. We are beating ourself.

 

[FlotownDawg]

We are playing like we secured a tournament spot with yesterday’s win and today’s game doesn’t matter. I still think we’re in but getting blown the 17 out might put us back in the First Four in Dayton.

 

[rynodawg]

We did just have an OT game yesterday while Bama is fresh and rested. 17 these murderers, time to get ready for Selection Sunday.

 

[mstateglfr]

Bama is 2 steps faster at every position.
2 steps faster to rebounds, 2 steps faster on drives, and 2 steps faster on D.

This is brutal.
This is shaping up to be worse than the '05 Bama loss 98-49.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Mercifully the half ends. That was rough. Idk what we can do other than pray at this point.

 

[onewoof]

This is about a week's rest for Bama. After getting beat by A&M. That's why they look so good. Watch them tomorrow and then comment.

That's not a good excuse. If our guys are tired, we've got bigger problems.

Yep, mailing it in today. That's alright. The announcers can enjoy their circle jerk.
