Alabama Post Game Thread

[BGesus4]

Newton shot 1-6 but he controlled the game, singlehandedly got us in the double bonus early, went 6-6 on ft's, his one field goal was the three that sealed it, he had 8 assists, 1 turnover, and 4 steals.

Dude is a baller.

Really a true pg. No one ever makes him pickup his dribble. Only does so when he has something to do with the ball. Great vision and pace. Can score when needed but doesn’t need you to have a big impact.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

In my drunken group-text with Scot-e I said our FT's were critical tonight. 87.5% Well done kids!

Joey Calcaterra is an X FACTOR. My favorite Husky right now

Yeah he has his place for sure. It is nice to have John Gwynn scorer coming off the bench when we need points.

 

[AntG168]

Btw that wasn’t our most complete game. We should’ve won by 20+

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

In May.

April, if you're going that route.

 

[Jbirdp5]

Playing the game Sunday at 10 is awful, I know it’s an nfl Sunday but damn

 

[3rdbass]

Yeah to spread the lead with AJAX and Diarra in tells you a lot. It was all about D.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Not a walking bucket, but holy s___ does he know how to draw fouls. Gets us in the bonus, converts at the line, and puts defenders on tilt.

You must have missed the game against Oregon.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Sunday 10pm. So 7pm for you

Full service response. Nice.

 

[Kemba429]

Best start to a season since 13-14’ before that 10-11’ we all know what happened those two years. This team is special. Having Sanogo, Hawkins, Newton, each can put up 20+ any given night is an absolute luxury. Not to mention the supporting cast & depth that we have this year. Big win, but cant let off the gas. Cant wait for Sunday night.

When Sanogo missed his 1st 2 FTs, I was a little worried. But I'm thinking he needs to be more tired and sweating more profusely in order to make them.

 

[HooperScooper]

Before anyone complains, it's a lot better than playing at 3:30 on Sunday.

 

[Huskyforlife]

1. I hope Sanogo gets an NBA contract. He’ll change his families life regardless, you can just tell he works his tail off. Kids a winner.

2. Andre is an X factor regardless of the shooting. His passing/energy/defense/rebounding is all so high level. His ball denial on Miller was huge.

3. Our starting backcourt put up a donut in the first half. We led going into that half. This team is deep with options.

4. Alex might be a future nba player. So much offensive skill, and solid defense for a freshman.

5. The refs forgot what a blocking foul was apparently. The emphasis on flopping was ignored today.

 

[NowInStorrs]

So should I get a Joey California shirt or a Hawkins shirt? Or Clingan? Or Sanogo? Hmmm. Or maybe Karaban or Newton.

 

[caw]

Ok let's just disagree on his impact on this game. He did get some nice rebounds I will give you that. you can't refute his offense was horrible. He also got beat off the dribble a lot in this game unlike the other 2. Not saying he was horrible but just not as good as the past 2 games on D.

His shooting was bad and so was his shot selection.

I don't think you can discount how much pressure he took off Newton by being able to bring the ball up the court. Alabama hounded him and Newton all game fullcourt.

The fact the team had only 12 t/os all game and 5 came from the frontcourt (Adama - 3, Karaban - 1, Clingan - 1) is a miracle. Boxscore only has 11 assigned, so one was the shot-clock violation? That's fantastic.

 

[superjohn]

Joey California is shooting 61% from three this season.

 

[auror]

Why is the joint less than half full? Unreal.

Every team in our bracket is from the East Coast (or Midwest) except Oregon and all their fans decided not to come after they were so bad. Not exactly the same Thanksgiving weekend destination as say Maui or Atlantis.

The Gonzaga-Purdue game is pretty packed.

 

[Scoe]

A great team win. The true mark of a team is how you respond when things aren’t going your way, we beat a very good Bama team tonight, we’re able to respond to their punch and when we punched back we kept on punching them.

 

[Punkbo]

Sunday 10pm. So 7pm for you

How about if I live in Guam?

 

[mauconnfan]

Danny and Sanogo both had bad finishes to the first half. Both righted the boat 2nd half.

Nice win!

 

[Austin316]

How about if I live in Guam?

That’s in 20 minutes for you.

 

[alphasigko]

Have.not seen anything like that final RUN in YEARS! I AM FREAKING STOKED! GREAT win!

 

[RedStickHusky]

No one has come close to beating us this year. We just dominated a loaded Alabama team for about 25 minutes and held even for the other 15. We’re top 5 good. We should accumulate a bunch of wins in a down big east

The other 15 was them coming back to tie from down 15. We had two runs, they had one.

 

[Scoe]

Yeah but he isn't remotely close to a PG or an NBA guard. Love his effort and rebounding. Not a fan of his overall game but he has a purpose just wish his offensive game developed more.

I thought he looked better on offense this game of course I wish his shooting was better.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Mental toughness and killer instinct. This team has IT.
