BOL Round Table

If a team can just stay within 15 points with about 10 minutes left we will fall apart and loose the game. Happened multiple times this year.

Yea, I almost hate to watch them play because I know how agonizing it is every time that I get my hopes up with them

Watching them is excruciatingly frustrating. They seem to be so close to a complete team, but are just missing something. Its really painful to watch them be so close to a really good team, but just fall short.

Sounds a lot like the shula days. You just wonder how you're going lose the whole time.

Give me a new coach or new players with better shooting, either or both would be ok

What really bothered me was two separate occasions we failed to even get a shot off before the clock ran out. Once before halftime with :05 left and again coming out of a timeout with :04 left on the shot clock. That's coaching

Grants not going anywhere

Mike Shula coached a program that should be in the top 10 year in and out. Bama Bball is the equivalent of North Carolina football. Grant has done an excellent job and were lucky to have him

So Shane, you are telling me that Alabama bball's max is winning 20 games and getting ousted 1st round? That's bs. Gottfried at least had us #1 at 1 point and made a run in the tourney so I know we are capable of more

It's hard to play against the team, crowd and refs. W got hit on every defensive possession it seemed in the first 10 of the second half, and they mugged us with no calls. I understand home cooking but it rarely applies when we are he home team and I resent seeing it applied at other venues when we don't get the same benefit. Those early second half calls absolutely affected our style of play on both ends, making us less aggressive defensively and afraid to go to the basket in fear of a player control foul.

Still, in a neutral venue, we can beat these guys. That is the moral victory that can pay dividends if we can get the right pairing and get to play them on Sunday at the SEC tournament. Our team is playing much better than we did in January.
