Alabama Post Game Thread

[Doctor Hoop]

Castle goes out with 4 fouls … and this team does not miss a beat. Stretched the lead out comfortably with the player of the game on the bench.

clingan has really got his legs under him now, no silly fouls. I’ll be disappointed if he gets hit with tricky tack stuff vs Edey

i want to see Clingan and Johnson running Edey rim-to-rim to wear him out. And if the zebras let him Clingan can challenge those baby hooks.

Karaban, Spencer had great games. Almost quiet great games with what Castle was doing.

Alabama 0 fast break points tonight.

 

[Palatine]

I’m surprised they got to 40 percent were overdue for a hot night. TN shines in the championship

Karaban's three pointer from 30 feet was the exhale moment for me. So nice to see that go in. If he is ready to bust out Monday should be fun.

I lost track of our record on the season until they put up the stat after the game: 36-3 is ridiculous.

Serious question: isn’t Purdue the best three point shooting team in America?

They were until the tournament when they fell to 2. But they don't shoot the volume of Alabama.

Dropped to #2 (Alabama is #21), but they shoot far less 3's. Their offense is run through Edey and then kick it out for 3's whereas Alabama is all about 3's

Number 2 in three point percentage but they dont shoot a high volume so they’re #89 in number of three pointers made.

That isn't exactly the Vienna boys choir.

Alabama 0 fast break points tonight.

Do fast break 3s not count? Their luck ran out.

0 fast break points for Bama is INSANE

Feels like we were playing a little jet lagged for 3 quarters of the game and then woke up just in time to put it away

jet lagged from a three hour time difference two days ago?

Those were transition 3s

 

[Stinger92860]

Even Newton's heroic shot was an awful play. He started our set way too late. Jacked way too many 3s. He must be better on Monday.

He ended 3 for 9 after starting 1 for 6. 33% is not terrible. He was a stud in the 2nd half.

 

[giddyup]

56-56 … it was nut crunch time and they didn’t blink.

 

[Kolumbo]

Those were transition 3s

At least 1 transition was a fast break

 

[housekeys]

Keeping Clingan on the floor and hitting threes at our average, we are tough to beat.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Nelson 15 boards was impressive.

 

[Devland]

Karaban and Spencer were leading rebounder with 8 each.

 

[housekeys]

When does a 14 point loss, feel like a win?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Castle made himself a lot of money tonight.

Best player on the court. There wasn’t a close second. This was his game. To do that as a freshman is amazing.

 

[my2cents]

Nor in any particular order:

• Alabama would have blown out Purdue or NC St tonight
• Sears had four blatant walks (and likely another four non-blatant) that were not called
• There were a number of moving screens that weren't called, and one would have nade the Bama football team proud

I couldn't believe all the missed traveling calls on them.

 

[Stinger92860]

Probably biggest program win and tightest clench job ever was over Gonzaga 67-62, to go to the Final Four in 1999.

What about Rip vs Washington?

 

[VivaLsVgs]

The Full Nelson was also an incredible call.

How bout’ the Kenny Loggins “Danger Zone” reference…..loved that one too!
