I've had too much jack danirkd

Gaines was in the game for his defensive play. Which he did what he was supposed to do. He was subbed bc Alabama, smartly, saw the matchups and would create a mismatch with Santi on the switch vs Herb Jones. Barnes made the right adjustment. Gaines needs to take this as motivation and work on this offensive game and his free throws. Which in my opinion he should have been doing since the summer... a player can be extremely valuable to a basketball roster if they can consistently shoot 80%. The fault can’t be placed squarely on Gaines. We turned the ball over way too many times and had an opportunity to keep the lead at 10+, so he would’ve never been in that spot. Maybe this is great experience for our team in the tourney when they face adversity vs a good team...

Lol wut. Bama was the 1 seed

Because it's Alabama and I hate Alabama and they will never get any respect from me. And you don't blow a 14 point lead

You cut off the wrong foot. I blame lefty over here for this loss.

Gaines isn’t an SEC player. Never has been.

 

[Nashvegas31]

The run of 4-5 charge calls screwed us. We got hesitant to drive to basket and be physical which has been when at our best.

Bleeding out.no big deal.

Would have won if anyone but Ticket shot those free throws. It is what it is.

That would have put us up a whopping 1 point with 25 seconds left. Far from a sure thing.

If Uros had dove for even a single ball, maybe we win.

If we don't waste 4 possessions throwing shiz alley oops maybe we win.

If we attack the basket more once Bama had 6 fouls just halfway through the first half, maybe we win.

Lots of reasons any team loses a game. It is only human nature to focus on the ending.

Hopefully we can get some unbiased officials in the big dance. If they exist.

True Story... This is the first year that I want to the west bracket. Get outta the suspect south.

First or second round exit. Probably won’t even make the tournament next year so it is what it is. Let’s go have fun wooo

That's Karen to you.

 

[volatil]

I can’t find it in my heart to blame Gaines for getting on the floor. Scrapping to get us the ball. It actually was a bad call. Bama guy didn’t really foul him.

He came in, did his job. Can’t imagine the pressure he felt in that situation. Feel bad for the guy. Feel worse reading disparaging comments about him.

Nah. At least as far as next year goes. We'll be a tournament team. I'm confident.

 

[VolGee4]

Who other than chandler will be good next year? Bailey?

Springer and Johnson are gone.

Chandler, Mashack, Bailey, Vescovi, Walker (maybe), but VQ has already said there will be 2-4 transfers out and in. We will add talent. I’m not convinced Fulky is gone either. We won’t be bad.

 

[Devo182]

If we're a 5 seed, which #1 do you want?

Zaga
Baylor
Michigan
Illinois

Baylor ALL day. Lost twice recently.

[LA Vol]

The 4 straight phantom charge calls turned the game. The refs allowed Bama to basically do whatever they wanted to us and called us for fouls. This league is corrupt and we should leave it.

The only way for things to change is for schools to stop taking it and start speaking up. Call out bad officiating, provide proof and pay the fines. Go public, be vocal and demand better. If the SEC tries to muzzle schools for speaking up, speak louder. Staying silent lets them beat you twice.

The chance of UT speaking out: zero.

In the meantime, UT could try to remember how to protect a lead, make FTs under pressure and close out games to get the W.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

We took some bad shots at the end of the game too

 

[Volator]

I have to vent: we have some dumb basketball fans. Sorry, I’m done.

Fixed your post. Not limited to basketball, universal ignorance on all sports.

Those two freshmen are good but they have to find a way to eliminate their turnovers. They each had 5 turnovers today and the team had 19 total.

I don't think we lose all three of James, Springer, and Johnson.

They dont speak out because they don't want to get fined. Its not worth it because things aren't going to change.
