[BamaMoon]

Good shout out by Philon to Sherrell. He came through big today.

I like the aggressiveness he showed today. Need more of that from him!!!

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Team gets a week off from games. Definitely need it.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

Those free throws almost got us today. Roll Tide.

[TideEngineer08]

That was a big second half turnaround on the road

 

[BamaMoon]

These announcers are definitely pro OU.

I don't pay attention to them much, because I'm usually watching while reading or posting, but I do think it's become pretty normal for TV commentators to root for the underdog.

It's why in football it always seems the announcers like it when teams do well against us. It's become the norm in basketball too!

 

[BamaMoon]

That was a big second half turnaround on the road

We definitely won that without our A game.

I hope this off week will be used to work out some of these kinks. We won today, honestly, despite ourselves.

 

[AlistarWills]

A dub is a dub. Good job gutting that one out in the end. Hoping some character was built these last 2 games and we can spend the week getting healthy.

 

[BoSox Tider]

Let's go!!!!!!!

 

[rolltide_21]

RTR. Just keep surviving and get some guys healthy

 

[BhamToTexas]

Whew, I’ll take it.

But I didn’t care for the fouling strategy late when we aren’t shooting our FTs all that well today.

 

[Bazza]

Good win for the Tide today - congrats - fans sure got their money's worth!!!

 

[AlistarWills]

Has anyone seen what the word was on what happened to Derrion Reid? That was crazy looking and for him to come back in the game later was astonishing.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

We took some good shots today that just didn't drop, especially from 3.
If we had hit just 3 or 4 more of them and 75% of our FTs we win by double digits.
Good win on the road against a tough team.

 

[atlbama]

Couldn't watch the game yesterday but love reading through this thread to understand the flow of the game! Seems like a tale of 2 halves. Also looks like OU has an amazing free throw defense!

 

[teamplayer]

Great 2nd half response to get a gut-check road win! Roll Tide!

 

[CajunCrimson]

Whew, I’ll take it.

But I didn’t care for the fouling strategy late when we aren’t shooting our FTs all that well today.

I agreed with strategy. But it was early. But with the new emphasis on continuation, if they get close to shooting motion you run the risk of giving up 3 free throws.

 

[BamaMoon]

If he made that 3 point shot on the continuation foul, it could have been a 4 point play if hits the FT and we lose!

Leg cramps is what I heard someone say.

His legs appeared to lock up just as he jumped. They didn't even flex when he came down.

Tough break for him, but I was glad to have him off the floor for a bit.
