Getting killed on the glass. They have the squeegee.

You know, only being down 9 is basically a win for us.

At least we got the lead to single digits going into the half.

Mission accomplished. Now muster up 20 minutes of defensive intensity and control tempo and we might steal one here

I'll take a 9 point deficit. Let's have another good 2nd half and take this game.

If Rando gets that midrange J to fall it's gonna be unstoppable. No one seems to be able to get a hand in front of his elevation. Big if.

I'd like to see us slow it down and just simply pound the ball inside to Jeter. Alabama really doesn't have a great post defensive presence.

If they start collapsing we could kick it out and pray someone can make a 3

Have to slow the pace a lot, our transition defense is absolutely atrocious while our half court defense is very good

The offense is pretty bad and I doubt they can score >80 to win so the defense will have to hold them to 30 -/+ points in the 2nd half.

Their length seems to bother us but we also have wah to much one on one going on. Smith should never be allowed to do anything but spot up.

Their guards on doing a nice job if cutting off Coleman and BWill from.peneteating and kicking. Randolph had 3 or 4 nice looks he just didn't get down so hopefully that changes this half.

Would love to win and make Greenberg talk about us!!!

Don't bet on it. If ESPN talks about the UA the discussion will have either "FBI", "Scandal", or "$150,000" in it.

I love how ESPN is openly rooting for Alabama. It's like a national tragedy that we're made this a game. :lol:
