In fact, 4 of 5 UH starters fouled out before the game ended and UH still hung on to win. Terrific game by both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscaloosaTiger 285 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The athletic Grand Canyon team reminded me of the AU team in some respects, namely, chaotic, careless with the ball, and prone to turnovers and very poor shot selection. This is the the same reckless play that kept Yale in the game with us and ultimately allowed them to come back and beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific game by both teams. I stand corrected he fouled out with around 30 seconds. He had already did enough for them to win in OT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronCrazy 1,085 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 If we had Mark Sears on this team, we’d be playing for a National Championship two weeks from today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, Bama actually has Mark Sears on their team, and they aren't getting past the Tar Heels on Friday. They wouldn't beat any of the remaining 4 teams left in the East regional. Sears is solid, but I don't think this Auburn team could make it past UConn to ever get to the NC game even with Sears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're right, I'm still sour about the loss to freaking Yale. We couldn't make free throws when it counted most, and to think Mark Sears (as great as he is) could propel this Auburn team past UConn and to the National Championship game is not something I can seriously visualize after that Yale game.

It’s a slippery slope. They played Arizona , Purdue, Creighton, Clemson, and Oregon during the season. The moment shouldn’t be to big for them. It will be interesting because they didn’t shoot it particularly well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about all the way championship, but I wouldn't say it was impossible either. But that's because UConn look so good. I just posted about this though, go look at the stats and look how everybody played but our guards. Put a guard that is a 20 point game scorer50 from the field and 40 from 3.... That's a big difference. Not too mention how that threat would make it even easier for boome to operate. Same for the team when jabari was here.

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 ACC didn't get a whole lot of respect coming into the tournament, but they've showed up big to this point. UConn is like a metronome. Maybe Illinois or Iowa State can give them a run in their next game, but I don't think I'd bet against UConn right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,785 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Bammer is hanging around with UNC. Hubert Davis has to tell his guys to slow this pace down. They're playing right into what Nate Oates wants....a very fast pace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,762 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Bama's defense has actually been better than I expected at least. RJ Davis was probably one of the few guards that had a solidly better placement in the hierarchy than Sears, and he's been in check. The problem is that they schemed to allow the bad shooters to get going, and they did...so far UNC is 1/10 from 3 this half though, so there's been some regression here.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,762 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The thing that separates those really good Bama teams from the others is that they have such a higher floor defensively as a team. There are so many gimmicky things scheme-wise that they have to do just to make this roster survive defensively...they definitely need a better 5 defensively (saying the obvious there), and I think playing Grant in a free safety role at the 4 would do wonders for them. They also only have one high-end perimeter defender, which isn't ideal. With the pace they play though, you gotta give up something on D to play like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have to put other products to compete with what that football machine was, you either don't do it or you do it all the way. It's also just a luck thing at the end of the day. Bama had a supreme team last year that just got slapped up by SDSU. They may have a dynasty after this, or they may not see these levels again.

They aren’t going anywhere as long as Oats is there. And I don’t see us ever making it past the second round under Bruce again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
