Such a winnable game. Free throws and rebounding.

13/21 from the line. Some games you can get away with that. Not against a team like this though.
Broadcast was so so bad. One of the worst on memory in my opinion.
Did they talk about Illinois at all? Did they mention the injury context? Alabama wore down Illinois (who came back at the end) with a fully injured front court?
All of this pales in comparison to a quote from the first half: “With Alabama You see the score and they’re just down four. That’s just a couple of possessions for them”

Not guarding the inbounder late was dumb. 0 pressure to get the ball in in a college game is beyond me.
Going away from a zone that was working is definitely a coaching decision. Not saying this is 100% on coach but this team isn’t going to be able to defend the way Brad wants them too. Just not fast enough. Have to play zone about 50% of the time.

All I can do is.. SIGH
My disappointment is with Z. He really did nothing well. His defense is absolutely atrocious. If we continue to play big, we simply can't guard the perimeter.
That’s why you play these games…great test and an acceptable L, all things considered. We get better from this. We are top ten good and will be just fine.
Brad ain't shooting the free throws.
That game looked way too familiar. My enthusiasm is tempered a bit. We will see if they gel.
Wow this board is surprisingly very level headed….
Missed free throws and another guy going nuclear in a game that turns into a foul fest is the most frustrating way to lose a game…
We’re really good, but that’s a tough one to swallow as a fan.

They proved you wrong! Only gave up 90.

Free throws. Dumb mistakes. Game.
Was called a doomer for pointing out the free throw shooting after Game 1. That's why you identify room for improvement when you crush cupcakes. These things have a habit of coming around.
The good news is… we didn’t win this game
The other good news is.. it’s November
Yes, a win is better tonight. But this adds toughness to Mirk and Keaton. Rest of the team is nowhere near 100%.
Tonight takes zero wind out of my orange sails. LFG!
