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!

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:

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.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:30 PM:
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.

Oweh with a fast break slam!
Dioubate for 2

Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 01-03-2026, 01:33 PM:
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.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:33 PM:
KY with their 5th team foul Aberdeen with his 4th foul!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-03-2026, 01:34 PM:
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.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:34 PM:
Nate Oats trying to break that momentum again

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-03-2026, 01:35 PM:
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:
Bama is 14-28 from three point land!
KY's 3-14.
That's a 33 point difference!

66-53 at the under 12 minute timeout!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:41 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!

Pope sucks this game. His lineup makes absolutely no sense at all!! Does he even realize what is happening this game?
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 01:46 PM:
We're not getting any defensive stops!
Bama with a 17 point lead with under 10 minutes to play. What is the pause in the game for?
Did Oats need another break?

Bama has missed their last 8 three point attempts!
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 m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-03-2026, 02:05 PM:
Bama has hit 14 three's to KY's 4
30 point differential is hard to overcome!
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!

It’s a mystery.
