Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama vs Illinois (Chicago) - FS1 - 8pm CST (Wed Nov 19)

[CajunCrimson]

This is a game where I wonder if playing 2 of the big uns inside would be useful.

We can’t run our offense like that.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Bristoe is impressing me

 

[BhamToTexas]

Both teams playing pretty ugly.

 

[CajunCrimson]

I’m really learning to dislike the B1G and their elitist attitude.

 

[cthorne22]

I know Noah Williamson is 7ft tall, but has he ever gotten a rebound. It'd be nice to know.

 

[AlistarWills]

Why does the ref stand there and let their coach whine about the call?

 

[bvandegraff]

Playing hard on D. Out of rhythm on O.

Playing hard on D. Out of rhythm on O.

Their seemingly excessive length is a problem. Kinda like Florida’s.

 

[BamaNation]

Bama 5-15 3Pt; 10-27 overall

 

[BamaNation]

We have missed at least 4 layups as well

 

[cthorne22]

Getting doubled up on rebounding is a hard way to win.

I really hoped Purdue was an anomaly

can't buy a 3 right now

Bama 32

Bama 41
Illinois 42
Half

Wow. 41 3p attempts between both teams in 1H

We are 8-21 and they are 8-20

 

[cthorne22]

Allen & Bristow look like the best all-around players right now

 

[bvandegraff]

I like how our guys don’t lose their poise.

 

[AlistarWills]

16 made 3’s in the first half. Rims got large in the last 2 minutes.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Lots of big 3s on both sides to end the half. Should be interesting.

Glad this didn’t age well. Need every 3 to offset their size advantage. Unfortunately, they were just as hot.
