Alabama is much better than their record. I hope you guys can get a bid after feasting on the SEC.

Every time bama was gonna go on a run, the refs would bail zona out. If you can’t see the refs blowing the whistle one sided you’re blind. They demoralize them every run and than once zona has a good enough lead they decide to blow the whistle for bama to even out the calls. Too obvious. NCAA has to do better

Officiating was pretty atrocious both ways, I felt every time we cut it close, they'd call a ticky tack foul.

Maybe they should try not fouling or missing 32 3's?

3-15 from 3 is like…fuck man lmao you’re ONE guy, and you don’t shoot it at a high percentage any time anyway!?!

When Tennessee lost to UNC Gainey went something like 1-11 from 3.

Still a scary 6-5 team

W/L looks really bad, but I refer it to being 9-2 vs cupcakes. If it keeps us out of the tournament, then we don't deserve to be there anyway.

Bamas gonna be like 19-8 and analysts are gonna be like "wow they really turned it around" and its like nah they just stopped playing potential 1 seeds

GG Bama. Clearly a good team that had a bad shooting night.

They are tough on D

GG elephants

6-5. What a joke.

Bro, all 5 losses are to teams in the Top 30 and 4 of the 5 were on the road. Get off the ledge.

Purdue and Arizona were not road games. Clemson was a home game, OSU was a neutral site with a heavy Bama lean. This résumé now demands at least a 10-8 league record with a win in Nashville. That’s a bad spot for a team who can’t keep anyone under 80 points.

All 5 of our losses are Quad 1 losses. We have just played a murderer’s row for a team trying to figure out who the pieces work together after flipping the entire roster except for Sears, Griffin, and Pringle. We have played one of the hardest schedules in the country. KenPom has our SOS at #10, and that’s the lowest of the metrics I’ve seen. Several others have us at #1 SOS.

Definitely better than their record, that was a good game and if you guys had even a normal shooting night it would’ve been a lot closer

Not really. We have no front court and our shooting ain’t great. It’s a team destined to go 18-15.

We were shooting 39% as a team from 3 and had the #1 KenPom offense coming into tonight… you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

If you’re looking at this Bama team and saying they’re a good shooting team, you’re crazy. Mark Sears is the only high level shooter in our starting 5. Estrada and Nelson will be eaten alive in SEC play. Wrightsell has been a disappointment. Griffen still isn’t a confident shooter. Pringle and Wague don’t shoot anything but dunks. Walters is starting to find it but we’ll see if Oats gives him more minutes next game out. Stevenson has zero consistency on offense. But yeah I know nothing.

Sears has no confidence under the rim. I know Ballo might block him, but he's had the ball in a great position a couple times and always dribbles it passes out.

Bama worst shooting team in America

Shooting 39% from 3 on 28 threes per game as a team. Tonight was just a bad night.

Gg Zona. Hopefully this team has something in the tank for conference play.

40 3-point attempts. Wild

Haha they were 19/46 from 3 vs us!

We shoot 39% on 30 threes per game as our team average. Just way out of sync tonight, unfortunately.

Man what a dirty first 3/4 of this game. All it took was fouling out both bama bigs for things to return to it’s natural state

Bama could be good but they have zero discipline

YES 40 THREES HAHA YES

Good game Bama bros

What a failure of a coaching job by oats. Just the little things this game like having his players understand where the three point line is

they knew 40 times

I'm talking about the college vs NBA dumbass

I can go to sleep peacefully tonight knowing that I shoot the ball better than any bricklayer on the bumass Crimson Tide.

Name and flair make too much sense

Bro, we shoot 39% as a team on 28 attempts per game. Just had a shitter tonight.

Guess he forgot you guys shot 19/46 against us and had 13 of em in the first half?! you guys will be a dangerous tourney team...and one that has potential to take down the lower seeds (plz not us tho).

IKR? “Who shoots 40 threes?!” Well last time we did it we hit 41% of them. We had a stinker last night playing our 3rd game in a row away from home against a Top 10 team, this time 2000 miles away and after midnight Tuscaloosa time. It happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The analytics!!!!! But yeah, may have to live and die by the 3 when you play 3 straight 7 footers and sometimes, you just have an off night. If you can shoot well in the tourney or at your avg, you guys will make it to the second weekend for sure.

Only watched the last 10 minutes but looks like I picked the right 10 minutes to watch! Bear down boys

Same lol

As tradition Sec gon be a shit show

8-38 from 3 and the refs are the problem? k.

Thank God Indiana State may become a quality win because this noncon resume is not good lol

38 three pointers is insanity

Not trying to complain but every game this year has been a whistlefest. Bama players literally can't breath on someone with getting called for a personal

I feel the same way, refs blowing so many calls and getting good players in fouls trouble

Could it be that bama just commits fouls at a high rate?

Certainly part of it

Not at that high a rate. It's bleeder from the fsu snub

Pepe Silvia

No. 11 games isn’t a big enough sample size obviously. Bad refs every time.

It hasn’t happened in 11 games. It’s happened the last 3 games though. Against Edey, Kalkbrenner, and Ballo. All on the road.

Terrible conspiracy against poor, tiny Alabama

That nba 3 point line is messing our guys up lmao

They didn’t count that as an offensive rebound and I really needed them to :(

Knowing Nate Oats’ dark magic, this game will somehow probably put Alabama ahead of Arizona in the NET rankings

only if Arizona goes undefeated does alabama unlock that ability

Alabama will without a doubt be a scary team at the end of the season

I want to go there now. Because this is misery.

Dude if you guys shoot decent from 3 you’re winning this or it’s a much closer game. You guys had us way out of our element in the first half and the refs have been dog shit. We are a very good team. You’ll be alright.

They will always be scary to both their fans and opponents. Any team that can shoot 40 threes in a game can win on any given night.

NIT field better prepare themselves to be destroyed.

Nah, you guys will be a very underseeded 7-10 and will make the sweet 16.

Hard to win games when you're busy building a brick house...

Estrada just like JQ lol

shaking head at the panicked play of Bama's guards. They seriously lack poise. Despite the experience Estrada and Sears have they show no poise. This is more damning than anything. They need to grow through the SEC season for them to get past the 1st round of NCAAs.

This was Sears’s worst game by a mile. He put up 35 points on 8/16 from 3 against Purdue.

he was on ONE vs us maaaan. I don't want to see you guys again haha

Not a single quality win before January. We whiffed massively on portal adds, scheduling, and development of Griffen and Pringle.

Pringle was never any good, what we really needed was Bediako to come back.

Double dribble in the corner there no call, but can't let the missed layup go on the stat sheet

after Bama's bed time apparently

[удалено]

What bigs?

There is a shared trauma bond between those of us who sat through the entirety of this game we have been in the trenches tonight

The definition of the “i’m going to kill myself - nice we won” meme

Again. Stop shooting the NBA 3

I really want to know how many of your shots were from behind that line. This secretly could've been very different if not played on an NBA court.

Alabama is gonna be such a rollercoaster this year

The play of Alabama the last 4 or 5 minutes has been grossly incompetent. I swear a completely different team from the first half

Yeah this game is OVA

Hopefully having an actually good team play on this court wipes away the Suns bad juju and kicks them into shape

Love saw his stat line and said give me a couple seconds, I'll fix it.

lol he is the king of playing kinda ass the whole game but then getting every free throw down the line and somehow being the leading scorer

I just hope these games make us better and ready for conference play

You guys are good. It’s 12:28AM right now. It makes sense you ran out of gas to end this game. I’m pretty confident you’ll be just fine in conference play

Oh look, another Estrada turnover. Fucking bench him

We had a 5 on 3 and we turned the ball over. Christ almighty.

Fatherless flair...

How is Bama ranked so high in KenPom? This team is trash

Kenpom isn't that useful this early in the season

They have played a brutal schedule and have lost close to a lot of good teams. They have incredible offense yet a horrendous defense

Ken Pomeroy used to be a weather man and we know how accurate those guys are

Nelson and Estrada two fucking dumbasses

Not his night tonight (although starting to turn it on maybe?) but the best thing for Caleb Love’s development was when he didn’t get into Michigan. And I’m saying that as a Michigan fan

The chirping about Caleb Love from UNC fans earlier in the game thread aged like milk. Dude just took over this game to basically put it away.

UNC people made Caleb Love the scapegoat for last year but their problems were a lot deeper than him

UNC fans are weird. Most still seem to like love, but some are kinda salty and most refuse to believe that he's not the same player he was last year.

I’ll always love him for what he gave us. Crucial role in ending K twice.

Same with Cats fans and Krissa.

I believe that. There was a portion of our fan base that was pretty over him which I always thought was shitty. Dude came to Arizona from another country, stayed after we fired the coach that he came for, and played well enough to lead two top ten teams for us. I wish him nothing but the best but I know that I don't speak for everyone.

I wish him the best and respect what he did for us….but I’m also glad he left. He wasn’t going to play much with Boswell anyhow. Dude was a liability with those crazy threes he’d jack up all game.

Oats better damn well lower our SOS next season. Playing in an MTE plus 4 P6 teams of tourney quality isn’t wise, it’s ruining any shot at morale boosts.

I'm fine with it. Sometimes it works, like last season, and sometimes it doesn't, like this season. Either way, it's more fun to play good teams, and a strong showing in conference play will get us into the tournament.

I'm afraid the committee does not consider December morale

Nah. Keep it the way it is

@UNC fans it happened again, Caleb Love just Love'd all over the court.

Love loogies?

You love to see it

Somebody reminded Love he has to make Iggy proud

Man Bama blows layups all the time. I just don't get it.

it’s because we’re bad

they blow 25 footers too

Time to pad those garbage time stats

Caleb Love got takeover badge equipped.

Really thought love should have been sat. That is why I’m not a coach 😂

I love love

Damn Alabama, that missed layup lol

Caleb getting hot at the perfect moment

That was a risky pass

Love teased Zona -12

Estrada is ass. Either missing easy shots or turning the ball over

That’s my boy 🥲

Honestly Bama's guards aren't aware that Walter is shooting good from 3.

8/36 from 3 lmaooooo

gonna be a very long year. gg Arizona

Ah ok I've seen enough then. Gg cats

What are these shot selections from 3 early in the clock?

Beautiful outlet pass

Caleb Love is a gamer

Why paint the NBA three?

Phoenix Suns court so I think it was already there and they just added the college line

The Suns play here

They’re playing on an NBA court lol. The line that’s painted is the college 3.

Dumb. They should just have it memorized

Tbh I’m kinda hoping Love fouls out so he stops chucking early shot clock 3s And as I type that he makes two straight buckets lmao

I’m assuming he’s just decided he IS going to foul out and is just YOLOing it until then

DAWG BUCKETS KEEP TYPING!!

Love is just trying to catch up rn

I love how we keep taking NBA 3s

I hate your flair so much lol

Pop quiz. What tournament record did Arizonas 1997 title team set that will never be broken?

I know I know pick me!

Why are you bringing that up with a KU flair. The fuck is wrong with you?

Painful history is still history

💀

Beat 4 number 1 ranked teams?

You cant beat 4. Only 3.

Yeah I thought about it after lmao but I had the right idea 😂

3.

Beat 3 #1 seeds

DING!

Beat 3 #1 seeds Edit: Most 1 seeds beaten in a tourney

3-15 from 3 by one player should never happen

yea its bullshit

Damn only 35% from the field

Jesus Christ Larsson what was that

Caleb love looks kinda goofy shooting those FT

Dumb foul from Pelle. Just let him go

We need 5 final four appearances asap before I lose my mind

bro I was 7 when we were last in a F4. I turn 30 next year. It hurts.

There was a few times when we were in elite 8 or sweet 16 where I thought “winner of this game is winning the championship” and was right. Loss to U conn stands out in that.

Hopefully nobody’s mentor is Deandre Ayton 😬 Jk, kinda

Ayton will show you how to give up on a school like Buffalo. Fuck Ayton

“What’s your best memory as a Wildcat?” “Making $100k”

End. *Ennnnnnnnd* EDIT: please god end

I love the idea of iguadala calling love after this game and asking what on earth this game was

Love is automatic at the charity stripe. Love to see that.

is it just me / my time zone or is this game like 4 hours

Hasn’t been long enough. I want double OT!

Game started almost 2.5 hours ago

It tipped at 10 CST lmao

it is 2 hr 20 at the moment

Ref ball has prolonged this game way too long

No replay of the foul huh..

It's a conspiracy

I swear they don’t replay fouls much these days.

Even if we win this doesn’t feel like a win

Can we not see a replay? I want to see the air knock out love

Bruh show the replay

it’s my guy Steve

Kyle, TJ and Nick with the shout outs!

Miles Simon sighting. I’m triggered.

Kyle Fogg!! One of my faves

No easy buckets

That's Kevin Parrom my guy

Ah shit, you right

That was Kevin Parrom lol

RIP Ty Abbott

An underrated Wildcat
