Game Thread: Alabama vs. Kentucky

[ralph helm]

Both teams played their hearts out---I'm very happy to have a W in this one--but Bama can be proud of the game they played!!!!

Incredible individual performance by Fox.

Thought Bam had a really tough game. Out of position a lot, couldn't grab rebounds...might be playing too many minutes. Would be nice to have a capable back-up for him.

And he got no help on the boards. Willis was a no show with 2 boards. Gabriel is just Gabriel but had 4 rebounds at least.
Bam plays so hard though.

Happy with the win. Did not play well at all but still beat a team that wanted it bad. UK 6-0 vs Bama in Sec Semis history.

Willis' s defense was suspect. He either blocked the guy's shot or let him score. No just stand your ground and stop him.

Big thank you to Fox for showing up big time!

You often marveled (for good reason) at Tyus Jones' ability to take over late in the game. Is Fox reaching Tyus-level heroics in your mind?

Unless they develop some consistency, I can't see this team making a deep run in the tourney.

I hope we're wrong, but we have to play way better to have a chance to go very far. Although there are some teams i like our chances against, with UL being one of them.

I think this is a unanimous opinion....limit turnovers and avoid droughts on offense, keep up the D and they have as good a chance as anyone....

The thing people must remember is that every other team has several things they must do as well....

Late to the party, had to watch game on dvr, Fox took over in the end. Tough game but this team will fight, i like it...

[J.Jennings]

Vitale cracked me up, basically said Kentucky winning was good for tv ratings on Sunday lol lol lol

love it

[Jeff ROCKober]

Hawkins was fantastic the first half. Fox played incredible down the stretch. Briscoe was good in the second half. Monk is still not there and looks to be pressing and playing not to lose. I think he will be okay as every player has a down stretch. He scored 20 points which is great but just not playing like he has all year. Bama played very hard and played well. Bam is becoming a beast and needs more touches.

Kentucky needs to come out quicker but I do love that they do not panic and do not panic. But the first 5 minutes was awful to watch.

...and I love that I am ********************ing about things on a nice win streak!

There's a good possibility that we go into the NCAA tournament at 29-5, 19-2 SEC regular season/tourney champions, riding an eleven game winning streak.

Sounds almost like a 1 seed resume to me, although I know that's not gonna happen.
