Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[engineerVOL]

Kept them at arm’s length all game. And just fell apart when we needed a few stops and buckets. Honestly do feel like Barnes didn’t put the right guys out there down the stretch.

 

[RikidyBones]

Bailey ... Sheesh.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Not sure why everyone is complaining about tonight. We played with and almost beat a top 20 team without our best two players and both of our backup PGs in foul trouble the whole second half. All on the road...

Because I hate Bama

 

[Orange Studs]

No matter what, this team has to find someone that can score when the team goes completely cold inside the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half. That has happened to us a few times.

Just wish we had that one shoot the lights out guy. One that when the game needs to be put away he steps up and drains it on a consistent basis.

 

[JT3]

I don’t get the lineup that Barnes plays

I don't either. We had no inside game today with a guy like BHH on the bench.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I expected we’d lose because we don’t beat Bama at their place and we were missing two of our best players, but then they had to go and lead the whole game and choke it away at the end and now I get to be angry. Great.

This.

 

[SpringBokVol]

And now Gray having a good game. This night took a turn.

 

[turdherder11]

Perhaps he needs to earn his playing time versus being given.

I think he had 8pts in the 1st half? Not bad.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Feel like Bailey gets too long of a leash compared to BHH or Powell.

We are going to be a very good team by March though, so much depth and as the talent starts matching the effort of Santi, Fulky like ZZ & KC are doing guys like Powell, BHH, & Mashack could start having bigger impacts.

 

[engineerVOL]

Came in here to see the aftermath. I see the irrational over reactive drunk posting still predominates. See you guys tomorrow.

Hurts worse when it’s the West Birmingham Assless Chap Fighting Vulcans.

 

[zhangliao04]

We lost by 5 on the road against a ranked opponent down our top 2 players. Not looking for silver linings, but do that to any team not named Duke and it’s hard to do.

 

[KB5252]

This team is simply better when they don't chuck up 3's left and right. We got something going in the paint and then go away from it to close the game, that was a mistake but the three was wide open, hard not to take that shot but a higher percentage look is what was needed there. Hindsight is 20/20 though.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I hate Alabama.

 

[SpringBokVol]

It would have been better to be blown out.

Instead we lead in the first half by 10 only to let up and give them a 10-0 run to close.

Then we lead the entire second half and collapse in the final two minutes again.

Yep. Again, we are a good team but not a true contender as much as we wish we were.

Not worth it. It doesn't change anything. lol

 

[JCP201]

We lead the whole game until the end-- we obviously would have slaughtered this team with Fulkey and Chandler. Shoulda coulda woulda played this or that guy more or less--- After the game is over, I think Powell would have been a better choice then Bailey, but Bailey had gotten a bit hotter-- and Powell hadn't really scored-- BHH can get in there and score, but not so good at the defense. It is what it is..

 

[Smokey123]

I stand by my statement after seeing who took those shots at the end. Chandler would’ve given us a way better chance

Fulk puts up another 20/10 game against this team. Chandler is amazing and will be a first rounder, but this team has nobody down low outside of Fulk and ON. ON is very inconsistent especially vs good bigs. Uros just isn’t starter level, BHH is a huge defensive liability that takes plays off that has yet to put it all together

ZZZ played good tonight overall but made a few mistakes late, Santi is good too

All true, but good teams find a way to win when it matters. They should have won this game.

I think we all knew what was coming.

 

[Smokey123]

Yep. Again, we are a good team but not a true contender as much as we wish we were.

You said “this team is crap”

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Yep. Again, we are a good team but not a true contender as much as we wish we were.

We keep landing talent but just can’t break through. I think we’ve probably about hit our ceiling. 2018-19 was probably as good as it’s gonna get if I had to guess.

 

[Orange Studs]

Not defending or disagreeing just wondering if CB see's a whole different Bailey in practice? Just a thought.

 

[JT3]

Perhaps he needs to earn his playing time versus being given.

No doubt, but he gets pulled too early after 1 mistake when other guys make mistake after mistake. No reason, with Fulky out, he isn't getting 25 mins.
