Thankfully Alabama only made 9 of 17 fta (.529).

The shots are going to start to fall in the second half. We’ve shot 39 fg to their 21 and we’ve got 5 turnovers to their 14. They’ve shot 17 ft to our 2. Im still confident we’ve got this.

We've created a ton of turnovers but are shooting as bad as I've ever seen. Frustrating!

Got to shoot better. We have twice the number of shots but one less field goal.

This is not a good team we're playing. I hope we don't blow this opportunity.

friars up 1 on brown with a minute to go.

update...Lindsey hits a 3 wit 47 secs to go...4 point lead.

Why is Robinson playing hero ball?
He's had 10 shots.
Fatts has been a non-factor.
26% shooting. Bama 52%. UGH!
Putrid interior defense and offense,
a major problem.

Half time down 7. Lucky it's not a lot more. The announcers say 'Bama is lucky URI has missed a lot. Bama is playing good D.

From Koch:



Final 5 1/2 mins without a point as well.

with those shooting %s is 17 free throws to 2. you would think we would be down 23 at the half.

I hope we start making shots. We should be ahead by 10 points instead of down by 7.

I got the stream going good I just needed to put in my Directv password

Our shooting is terrible

Can't have Akele and Cyril taking key shots at end of half

Dowtin giving us nothing

Going to be tough to pull out need a quick run to get back in this

We need to continue to attack the rim with Stan and Terell and have our bigs crash the boards. Too many jumpers in the first half. We can’t continue to do that because of their rebounding advantage. Smart possessions and we do need Berry or Cyril to give us something in the post.

First Half Observations...

Negatives:
- We can't throw it in the ocean. Some quality looks too.

- As soon as we get a run going Bama realizes they can get a deep entry pass and easily score inside. Why they haven't figured out that this should be their offense all the time? I'm not sure but I'm not complaining.

- Looks like streaky JT is back. And speaking of JT, IMO he's being too casual with the ball. A lot of good players do it (EC has been guilty of this). Thinks his athleticism will always win out leading to either a turnover, bad shot or failure to break down the defense.

- Does Preston have stone hands? I ask because Jeff missed him twice on what would have been a perfect alleyoop opportunity.

- Akele, Berry and CL have all been brutal on the offensive end.

Positives:

- I don't think Bama is a good basketball team. They're a collection of great athletes that are very careless with the basketball, they shoot free throws poorly and our guards are constantly breaking them down (we're just not finishing). I still like our chances.

- Jarvis looks to be picking up confidence.

- The cold shooting hasn't negatively impacted JT's defense.

Neutral:

- Sometimes when a team is cold shooting its because theyre not getting quality looks. I don't believe that to be the case here.

We were Outrebounded 26-16 in 1st half
Alabama may go inside more second half - I would
The zone Alabama went too seemed to frustrate us

Also, despite being a P5 school this is not an intimidating crowd or place to play.

pc n brown headed to ot

Can't miss thoses FTs Dowtin!

.....we have bigs??......

Dowtin PLEASE stop shooting! Don't even take FTs!

Wow, we're stinking up the joint so bad I can smell it a thousand miles away.

Jared......

this is painful to watch on both ends--but there for the taking--lets goooooo

Let's go

This team is not that good

STOP PLAYING LIKE ASS

WAKE UP

Man, these refs are atrocious!

And the team isn't performing much better.

even these announcers are painful

This is the worst f****** game I've seen since Hurley's first season.

BLUE MAN!

This is legitimately one of the worst basketball games I've ever seen. If we could somehow figure it out here we could run away from them. I don't know how good of chance there is we figure it out suddenly mid-game.

God Alabama is not good. We are laying an egg.

cluster...announcers suck, the stream sucks, both teams suck....

they just showed u 3...
rite after the fatts 3 ball...
but then bama scores 6 str8

We look like a Division 3 team.

i'll say it again...have not looked this bad since they were booed off the court vs. fordham

following this team is maddening.... i mean how could we look so bad against a team we "should" be handling, the effort and execution SUCKS .. as disappointing as it gets... trying to look at the positives, but I cant find any... a wasted opportunity seeing how they are playing without their best player

Opposition bigs running the floor for easy hoops.
Is langevine hurt worse than we know?
Berry can't chase at all.
Dowtin's been horrid.
3rd game in a row Terrell hasn't played well.
Cut it to 3, and collapsed.
Shit show game.

If we get it together we can stil get this game

Let's go

My stream is perfect. Indistinguishable from cable. Only good thing about this game.

One criticism I can have with Hurley is how we are so incosnsistent offensively. We look like a poorly coached team right now.

We're trying our hardest to lose this game.

The announcers got it right.

Fatts is much better than Dowtin.

Man i always say we can be hard to watch when we are bad

WTF is up with Dowtins shot? I was all exited because it looked so much better after in the season opener, Feels like it's been regressing every game since then.

I couldn't get any stream to work for me tonight (on three devices, not my doing). Got a text from my college roommate when I told her it wasn't working, "Be so happy you aren't watching this".

We have four assists in this game....FOUR!!!

this is bad

Enough w this soft shit Cyril

WTF

floater falling back Terrell

WTF
