Jones should’ve been given a flagrant foul throwing an elbow on the first play of the game

And, yes, I’m watching today. I hope TX and every Bruin everywhere is, too.

Huge that Bama sat one of their best in first minute of game with 2 quick fouls!

I imagine it wasn’t academically difficult to transfer from Yale to Alabama.

We need to stay down on their 3 pt attempts; less fouls and less popcorn machines

Do you think Coach C scouted their out of control dribbling? 3 charges all drawn by Tyger. Plus 2 uncalled travels.

And that’s more on us missing and not their defense, so presumably that’ll pick up.

We are at a clear athletic disadvantage. We need to play as hard and tough as we can muster.

bruinballer's avatar

Clearly the best team we've faced this tournament. We need to step up our D!

And our rebounding effort.

Juzang asserting himself. Good move.

This is a game where we really miss Smith and Hill. Hill was our rim protector and beat defender. Cronin has done a great job with what we have left and we can win this game, but that last uncontested drive to the hoop was telling.

Can we get a rebound??

Our small lineup is giving up lots of rebs. Where’s Etienne??

Expand full comment
gbruin's avatar

Lots of long rebounds off their 3s, too. Really hard to know where to go for the boards. But I agree, get Mac in there for some more beef down low and stop their drives to the rim
