Why is Nelson playing with 2 fouls in the first half? I thought that was illegal.

it is. state law . swear to god

 

[TortElvisII]

Nelson lasted 1 minute before he got 4

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

Nelson getting hit with some cheap fouls for how physical this game has otherwise been allowed to become.

 

[TortElvisII]

Why did the Alabama player get knocked down? Oats didn't seem happy.

 

[fatguy87]

Bama is making it rain now.

 

[TortElvisII]

What foul?

 

[TortElvisII]

Clemson has the stripes.

 

[Jack2936]

Yep

 

[TortElvisII]

Hall fouled out.

 

[fatguy87]

Pringle is bullying the tigers. The guy is a beast tonight.

 

[tls]

High level game. Big shots by both teams

 

[ala_kat2]

Clemson has some strong big men. Only Bama’s threes keeping Bama in the lead.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Could these announcers put the pom poms down for Clemson for 2 seconds. They set there and tried to claim Pringle was hooking and holding Hall.

 

[tls]

Bama needs one more stop here. Then a basket seals it. Give up another 3 and game on to the end.

 

[Jack2936]

They're So close

 

[TortElvisII]

Nelson was fouled.

 

[fatguy87]

Wow! What a board to keep Clemson's hopes alive.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

How did bama, Nelson not get the foul call there? Talk about refs.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

Clemson’s bigs have been allowed to do pretty much anything at times tonight. That was all arm on that stolen rebound, plus the shoulder check for good measure.

 

[tls]

Godfrey fouled to get ball and then fouled to put it in.

Ball knows

 

[TortElvisII]

How did bama, Nelson not get the foul call there? Talk about refs.

Do you think Duke gets that call? Connecticut?

 

[TortElvisII]

If this hunter kid gets in the portal....

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Do you think Duke gets that call? Connecticut?

Ha! Of course.

 

[tls]

Getting Pringle off the floor now. if I’m Oats

Bama make your FTs

 

[Jack2936]

Looked like sears was open right in front of him

 

[TortElvisII]

Well, what has Nate Oats ever done?

Is no longer a valid response.

 

[fatguy87]

So, by all appearances, Bama is Final 4 bound.

Any chance they pull the upset against UConn?

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Good for Bama.

 

[TortElvisII]

So, by all appearances, Bama is Final 4 bound.

Any chance they pull the upset against UConn?

I can promise you one thing, they will not try to force it in versus Clingan all night.

 

[BlueRunner11]

Rooted for Bama, but this tourney is making me hate Calipari and MB even more.

 

[tls]

Wonder who Bama lost to when scoring 89+. Oh yeah, the at home Cats

 

[Lempface]

Impressive shooting clinic to close that out. Sears was nuts. I wanted Clemson to take it but hard when the other team makes like 5-6 3s in a row.

 

[Lempface]

Wonder who Bama lost to when scoring 89+. Oh yeah, the at home Cats

117-95

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Nate Oats can't coach!!

 

[Catfanlou_rivals54997]

Rooted for Bama, but this tourney is making me hate Calipari and MB even more.

Yep

 

[TortElvisII]

117-95

We would be playing now but we cannot risk draft status.

Long odds on paper because they seemingly have no answer at all for Clingan. Strange things can happen in the tournament though. They might have a puncher’s chance if they can stay hot from 3 all night.

 

[Jack2936]

Think the Clemson coach thought this was gonna be an easy win after the Arizona win. He was fired up at the pc. The ACC's the best, etc.

 

[Lempface]

We would be playing now but we cannot risk draft status.

The sad part is, and whether you agree with Cal's approach or not, but he'll play his freshmen to the detriment of the team early so they are ready and experienced late. If only he did that 5-6 games in when it was apparent Reed and Rob were our best guys not named Reeves.

Rob needed to learn to figure out how to be effective without fouling and how to take over a game early and not just late.

Reed needed to have experience running the show from the opening tip and controlling the game to get us off to strong starts not chasing our own tails while the other team gets an 8+ pt lead in 3-4 minutes.

And they could have done that if they were the chosen ones. You'll never convince me that the slow starts and not figuring out how to stop them weren't the main problem. I know I know defense sucked. But with the way we could score you can't convince me if we came out on all cylinders to start the game and got our confidence built and shook the opponent's that we don't win 4 more games and stomp Oakland.

Roster was there, individual game plans and season long development plans were not.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Alabama ran the same system as us. The only difference was the starting point guard.

Wagner zero points.
Sears 6 straight 3's.


Start and ends there.

Houston had Shead and woulda won. Shead goes and Devil laughs.

Its point guard play
