Fall over Sears... wish he was in Europe

 

[vol94]

We are fouling every dam$ possession. Just can’t keep their guards (Sears) in front of them.

 

[Lankykong]

You guys blaming refs are wacko. Both teams playing reckless. Ugly, not the refs that are hacking and bumping

Not blaming the refs, objectively Lanier was not touched on his jump shot foul, he just fell down. Objectively Sears flopped on the Lanier offensive foul. Objectively Dubar got elbowed in the chest on the “wonderful” Bama iso play. These are really dumb things to miss.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I’m concerned Bama’s athleticism going get us into foul trouble. We can’t stay in front of their guards. Hopefully we can steal minutes from Dubar. I don’t know if Boswell can have success against Bama’s guards.

Boswell defends pretty well. It’s the other end where he loses his pants.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

Now that is a foul

Going to foul, make it count lol

 

[Volfan574]

This game should be prison rules basketball

 

[RockyTop140]

Best part of Gaineys game is the mid range pull up.

 

[tnvols72]

with all of these fouls we will be lucky to have enough to play in the 2nd half

 

[RockyTop140]

Sears is hooking

 

[YankeeVol]

Nice dish

 

[TNgradmom]

Mark Sears looks like a galloping gazelle on his way to the basket…..what a cocky little twirp…can’t stand him!!!

 

[vol94]

Seriously? 15 fouls called in less than 9 minutes?

They aren’t bad calls. Refs calling it tight in both ends.

On an another note, Gainey is so slow.

 

[YankeeVol]

Sears is hooking

Dude sucks

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

These fouls have to favor Alabama given the bench disparity.

 

[Namorto1]

Stop freaking fouling.

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

This is worth saying again, this is how it will be called come tournament time. Nice practice for us and I like the way we responding!

 

[Freak]

Igor with the good look... and yet another foul. Ugh.

 

[ttocswob]

Boswell in

 

[suave410ec]

There we go Milicic. Better!

 

[TrapVol]

Sears is drawing our defenders every time he drives the ball. Definitely hurts not having Ziegler in there to defend.

 

[vol94]

Boswell defends pretty well. It’s the other end where he loses his pants.

Agree - turnovers. He struggles to protect the ball.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

10 to 6 on fouls

 

[berryvol]

Boswell defends pretty well. It’s the other end where he loses his pants.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say the offense looks like the average VN poster is running it with him out there. I hope he sticks around bc the potential is there, you can just tell he’s so lost with getting us into everything - also seems uncomfortable handling the ball with the SEC pressure.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

Double bonus with nine minutes is a problem.

 

[tnvols72]

Going to have to make FTs with shooting at the 9 min mark
