Bama hit 22 three pointers in their last victory against Yale!

Bama opens as a 4.5 point favorite. Bama also is one of the best shot blocking teams in the country!

KY was swept by Bama last season in 3 games.

Today is the opening game of conference play. KY will be tested early!
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 11:56 AM:
 
Oweh, Aberdeen, Chandler, Dioubate (making his return to Bama), and Moreno are today's starters!
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 11:59 AM:
 
They're not giving KY much of a chance to win this game. It's been almost 2 seeks since KY has played. They may have to shake off a little rust today!

KY's 1-6 from the floor early! Bama is 4-6 early

Won't beat too many teams shooting like that early! We always seem to start slow!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 12:34 PM:
 
Nate Oats used a pretty good coaching strategy. He has the refs waste time blowing KY's momentum with a chance to cut into the lead. Then they start making class for him and V'oila, Your team has a double digit lead and KY will never recover from it!
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 12:36 PM:
 
Not sure how that was a shot clock violation. Bama rebounds the ball and loses it out of bounds and they say it was still part of KY's possession
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 12:37 PM:
 
Lowe for three

When did they start stopping play when the team that doesn't have the ball has an injured player?

I can't believe what I'm watching!
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 12:38 PM:

Bama with only 7 -- 2 point baskets in the game!
 
Posted by Bigcatdaddy (Member # 21) on 01-03-2026, 01:15 PM:
 
Absolutely no ball movement.
Easy to guard someone who just stands there — especially when they are all near. We do not spread the court and we do not move.
It’s just dribble, dribble, screen, dribble.

Pope has had Chandler TRYING to guard Holloway and he can't do it!
 
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-03-2026, 01:31 PM:
 
Why is Pope keeping Williams on the bench? We need someone shooting to habe any chance. I don't get it.

I am done watching not only for today but the season. Just terrible basketball players on this roster.

Chandler has zero idea how to get out on a shooter after a switch. 4 times today the exact same thing late and gives up a three.

Pope is not doing a good job in this game. Why do we have 2 5s in and no shooters? BF and Moreno at the same time is not going to help anything offensively.

Give Williams a chance. Did t he just hot 8 3s?? Why is Pope not playing him at all? It makes zero sense. Absolutely ridiculous. Can't keep trying to trade 2s for 3s. And hes a decent defender.
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:37 PM:

Not sure why he's not playing Williams either! He can surely defend better than Chandler and he's a better rebounder than Chandler. If CC isn't going to shoot the ball he's a complete liability on the floor!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-03-2026, 02:03 PM:
 
I guarantee if Williams played earlier this game is closer. Better defense, and a shooting threat. Pope has to do better. Dumb turnovers aren't on him, but the rotations are.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-03-2026, 02:18 PM:
 
Yeah. One team constantly moved and had good spacing and one team did alot of dribbling and standing. Offense is terrible.
 
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-04-2026, 05:42 PM:
 
For the life of me I don't understand why our coach doesn't start his 5 best players to open the game!

We start slow, fall behind, then play from behind for the rest of the game!
