Somehow we have the lead

despite an ugly half so far. On the other hand, SC has missed a lot of shots in the paint that could have/should have gone. Just need to take smart shots and finish when we get the chance.

Bama leads 29-27 at half

Tide has double-digit turnovers which has allowed SC to stay close and actually lead much of the half. Green missed most of the half with foul trouble and Mitchell missed about half for same reason. Randolph’s two treys were huge, Jacobs has been steady offensively inside, and Releford has been aggressive, which is good to see even though he’s been blocked a lot. Interior defense has given SC fits so far.

Not completely

It falls on guys like Green and Mitchell who have not been leaders for this team. Everyone always wants to jump on the coaches, but the older guys have to step up and play better.

I don't know why people here refuse to look past just the game we are currently playing.

I’m not calling for grants head or anything, but our offense is atrocious. It always has been. There has been zero offensive improvement since the beginning of the season…if anything we’ve gotten worse. I seriously don’t think we have good offensive minds hiding clipboards right now.

Because no one else will raise the tough questions. People want to pump sunshine and rainbows out of their asses about this team and about grant…but they can’t see what is really going on. We are so far away from being what we SHOULD be its scary. This team is underperforming and they don’t seem to care. We are a terrible offensive team, and they don’t seem to care.

I just listened to Coach Grant's postgame interview on the radio

All two minutes of it. The man was pissed and obviously disappointed with the team. He seems to care about a 4-game losing streak. Who has been pumping sunshine and rainbows? The only time the mood on this boards has been overwhelmingly positive was during the Puerto Rico run.

I just think your constant bitching is ridiculous. You’re moaning about the effort of a team that relies heavily on four freshmen and a trio of returning players who have failed to be consistent leaders for this team. Gee, who would have imagined the team would struggle at times. Unfortunately, the rest of the season appears to be a series of peaks and valleys for this team. Look, save your blood pressure the time and just stop watching the games.

by Mitchell Smilie on Jan 25, 2012 9:17 PM CST up reply actions  

there's a difference between being pissed in a post game interview,

And actually improving this team offensively. I’m sorry my bitching is a nuisance to you, this team losing to south Carolina is a nuisance to me. I dont like the way we have been playing for a while now, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Fucking deal with it.

No, you fucking deal with it. Losing to South Carolina is a nuisance to you?

I’m not happy with the way we’re playing either but at least I can look at the struggles objectively. You just bitch and bitch and bitch. This team is asking a lot of four freshmen and misses the hell out of someone like Chris Hines who brought toughness and leadership to the team when it needed it last season.

Yes, coaching staffs have to make adjustments when things are going wrong, but I honestly do not think the struggles right now rest solely with the coaching staff. Sorry, I just don’t.

by Mitchell Smilie on Jan 25, 2012 9:30 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm not saying ONLY blame coaches...

Im trying to argue that our coaches should be given more criticism than they are. I love grant just as much as the next guy, and I believe he will get this team through this. But the problem is…we haven’t seen anything suggesting other wise yet. Our offensive issues are systemic across multiple teams and with different players. I’m not bitching for bitching’s sake, I have a very legitimate gripe about how this team is handled philosophically on offense. I don’t care if you get mad at me, I know what I see.

I don't think you are out of line here Tnt....

I don’t care how the shit it happens, but when every single team you play is better than you on offense, then there is something wrong – and it’s not just an issue of being cold shooting – there is something fundamentally wrong about the way we go about playing offense….even somebody with zero knowledge of basketball x’s and o’s can see that…..this team has an offense that Mike Shula would be proud to call his own – and there was not a single example where the useless shitty offense Shula put on the field wasn’t his fault – it all was…..but besides that, I don’t care what is wrong with the offensive production of this team – I just want it TO GET UNFUCKED YESTERDAY!!!!!!!

I don't think we can come back from this.

We are very likely to win only 1 or 2 more games this season.

Grant may not be the answer. I think even CMG would have won this game. SC is a terrible team.

And I tell you there is talent on this team. Too much talent to play like this. Lacy should have gone to UK, Green and Mitchell should have gone to the NBA. I have no idea what TR was doing tonight but he should have gone to Kansas. We could play like this with a bunch of walk ons.

Damnit I hate to hear stuff like that because I REALLY like Anthony Grant....

but I’ve gotta agree with you….if what we all want is excellence from our basketball program – and speaking for myself, it is exactly what I demand we accomplish – then we must hold the head coach to the same standard that we would the head football coach….If we miss the dance this year and next, it will be the basketball equivalent of going 9-4, 8-5, 7-6, and then 6-6 and missing a bowl game in football…..and y’all know as well as I do what would happen to a football coach after a four year stretch like that…..

We just lost to south Carolina. It is time to panic.

If we didn't have talent

and if SC wasn’t so bad, then I would not be as upset.

But, it is not just that we lost, it is how we looked. This was the worse game we have played by far. We looked for all the world like we did not care. To be honest I wonder if we care. We have lost whatever little energy we had in P.R. and getting it back is going to be hard, very hard. I doubt we can do it and I doubt Grant can do it.

i love grant, and most of the players

but this team drives me crazy
why are we in the bottom 5 percent of 3 point shooting teams IN THE NATION!?!?! why are we not playing with more intensity on D? why is green just reaching in for no damn reason? why can’t we develop a solid half court offensive attack?!? WHY!?!?!?!? It is so hard to be a Bama basketball fan. We have the talent and the coach to make a decent run this year, and it is not happening. Something is wrong. It hurts to care this much. My heart would be better off if I smoked a pack of Nat Sherman Classics in one sitting.

i've been fallin' so long it's like gravity's gone and i'm just floatin'...

Right now we might not make the NIT

We have to win a few more games.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

This game was pathetic no question

But I think some of y’all need to take a step back from the ledge. Talking about quitting on the team and firing Coach Grant? Ridiculous. I can’t really see you as a true fan if you are so willing to bail now.

Well the frustration

for some of us began last year in the VI and even though we did have a decent SEC season we still could not shoot.

So, we sign 3 outside shooters. Surely we can shoot the 3 now.

But we can’t.

Then we look sick vs. Vandy, but they are a good team so we give em a break.

There is no break given for what happened tonight. No hustle, no desire. They looked like they were playing a pick up game. And, if are going to play zone can we get an offensive rebound? No. So why, not play man? Don’t worry, no matter what we play we can’t put points on the board our self.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

I totally understand the frustration

I have been feeling the same way, but you have to be able to back the team through the season. If this continues then say whatever you want when the season is over. My problem is that these same people who are burning down the bandwagon will be the first ones looking for a spot if we are able to pull it together. Support the team.

This one is on Grant but . . .

. . . only because he hasn’t figured out how to get Green to lead by staying out of foul trouble and showing heart and determination for more than a couple of games.

I think we all agree that we have a very talented team. I think we can also agree that we have one of the best defensive teams in the country, at least top 10 or 15. With 10 winnable games left we could still get on a roll and get into the dance.

As fans, we can choose to do as Green seems to do sometimes: quit in frustration. Or, we could recognize that this team still has a legitimate shot to make a run and show them that this is no time to be giving up.

hope is not lost

Sec tourney run is a must now though

People who live in glass houses should not hang out with Charles Barkley.

What is wrong with this team?

Other than the obvious lack of practice in that aspect of the game where you jump and project the ball towards the orange cylinder with the intention of having the ball travel through the said cylinder. Yeah it’s minor, but it helps win games. I think there are spots on the court where you get an extra point for this act.

We ought to find some players that are good at doing this weird specialty. I’ve seen some cases where small Caucasian players were pretty efficient doing it.

Sometimes you gotta think outside the box as a coach.

AHHHHH!!!!!!!

Its gonna be a long off season.

And a trial by fire youth movement with a brutal schedule.9 wins would be good.But damnit,we are too F-in spoiled to lose!

One day and I don't know when

but we will win the basketball tournament the same year we win the football national championship.

Here’s to a miraculous turnaround.
