Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Sugaray13]

He had a chance to put the game away at the end of the game. We were up by 5 and had chances to go up by 10 when Bama wasn't hitting anything but we just for whatever reason can hit clutch shots. Its frustrating not to be able to put away teams. Killer instinct.

Last 2-4 minutes of each half killed us. Up 10 in first half ending in a tie at the half. Up 5 in second half and lost by 5. Got to be able to finish both halves.

Wanya gone make an appearance tonight with OU blowing out Oregon.

who?

 

[KB5252]

Not really…it’s been allowed much more the last 5-7 years. Just google videos of traveling in the NBA. Corey Brewer takes 7 steps without dribbling.

Bama travels a lot as Herb Jones did last year too.

We did as well, multiple times. What the refs did tonight that stood out most was letting them set and step out into picks on the move. Drove me nuts.

I like That Barnes doesn't work the refs excessively, but tonight I would have been in their ear on those.

 

[DaddyChad]

My recollection is that plenty of people said it was a mistake to let him go - due to recruiting - and I am quite sure they were right. Should have made an offer he couldn't refuse.

Wife wanted to leave.

I just hate that we’re getting into SEC play and BHH, Powell, & Mashack didn’t get more minutes in the “soft” part of the schedule.

Nothing better than game experience.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I can count on one hand how many times I've been critical of Coach Barnes but that game tonight wasn't his best game.

 

[Smokey123]

So you enjoy losing? It’s one thing if you just get flat beat like Villanova did us but WE lost this game.

When did I say I enjoy losing?

You’re crying about something that hasn’t happened

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I feel bad for Andy’s dog tonight.

Check back in March SEC tourney and NCAA tourney will be disappointing. Hope I’m wrong. Already too many red flags.

Is the basketball game over? Good.
VOLS 62 Purduke 14

Ok and we can cry about that in March if it happens. Not in December when we lose a very close game to a top 2 SEC team without our two best players one of which is a lottery pick

This team is young at some key positions. We'll improve, but what I see in this team is so much better when the offense is balanced and works inside. Barnes has allowed these gaurds to push bad 3's too often.

 

[31VFL]

Our baby girl and my boy has the flu. Not as concerning for the boy but definitely the one month old with no immune system. Would appreciate any prayers. Thanks boys and girls

Prayers!

Red flags being, “can’t put away a good team on the road when missing our two best players”?

This team is very inexperienced, KC, ZZ, BHH, Powell, Uros all weren’t here or rarely played last season & are getting quality minutes this year.

Just need to keep playing at this point, the more time playing together the better we’ll get. I hope KC is the only player we lose other than graduations.

Alabama isn't a top 2 SEC team. They're not very good. Mid tier this year.

 

[SpringBokVol]

This game doesn’t matter. It’s Dec. we will play meaningful games in March.

Red flags as in shooting terribly bad see Nova, Texas Tech, Tennessee Tech and losing two games now we should have won.

 

[volfaninpa]

I hope tomorrow the football team takes my frustration out on Purdue with tonight's basketball game result.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

I see Oregon brought the same D they employed against Utah.

Disagree

 

[InVOLuntary]

We played a huge stretch of minutes with Olivier, ZZ, uros, VBjr, and JJJ. No shooters on the floor. Easy to defend that lineup.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Disagree

It will play out that way. They've already got some baaaaaad losses. I can easily name 4-5 teams that are better. KY, Vols, AR, Auburn. They're no way a top 2 team in the conference.

Let's go ahead and focus on what really matters, and that's clobbering the trains tomorrow

I was about to post they are a number 4-6 team in this league. We agree on who the better teams in the league are.
