I hope you didn't expect us to win this one. Bama has way more veteran experience than we do. The hope is that it is more competitive than the Ole Miss exhibition. So far, not super competitive.

KJ looks to be the only guy, at this point in the year, capable of playing this caliber of an opponent.

Gonna get those long-awaited Horseshoe renovations done cheap with all the free bricks.
Need to see something out of Kylan at some point. Hes been fine defensively but he needs to be able to be a threat to score in road games like this
I’m afraid this will turn into Gonzaga Baylor. Gotta start playing at a different level and fast
Nelson just tossing us away with pushes
A lot of stuff for this group to improve on
Reminds me of 2022-23. An assortment of great parts that just haven't quite figured out what it takes to consistently play hard and compete/beat teams. Unfortunately, those saying this is a two year project look to be correct. Hopefully this group proves us wrong, but miles to go to do that.
On a positive note, glad to see Kj going for his shot. Some of these players need to slow their volume of jacking shot up. Woof
I’ve posted this multiple times in the past week more subtly until now: we are slow and soft. How is that supposed to get better over the course of a season?
No. Eff that. I'm okay with us being outplayed, but some of what's happening out there is because of our leaders not leading by example. Panicking and not playing hard enough. Boswell needs to step it up, or we need to give other guys like DGL the chance to step into that leadership spot.
Too soon
Shades of the UConn game
Offense hasn’t been good, but D is what is most disconcerting.
Yeah Will
Best post in 1st half.
