Bigs can’t go 8-25 on two’s from point blank shots and 1-5 on Free Throws going forward.
Just unbelievable the number of easy shots that 7 footers missed mostly uncontested at the rim.
-------------------- Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

Amari is one of the worst post players I have ever seen at actually playing in the post. He needs to shoot 1,000 shots a day from 2 feet away. He's one of the best bigs at passing, but his defense is very inconsistent, and his post play on offense is a complete liability. In the last 2 games he is directly responsible for losing at least 14 points off his missed layups. If he doesn't play better against UT we will be done. We need to be able to have some post presence on the offensive end to have a realistic chance to win.

Amari is playing with some sort of injury. Not sure what, but that might explain his poor performance.

It just wasn’t Amari. He was actually the best of them:
Carr 2-7 and 0-1 from three and 0-1 from the line BG 2-6 and 0-2 from three and 1-3 from the line Amari 4-11 and 0-1 from the line [ 03-24-2025, 09:47 AM: Message edited by: Trey Ball ]

If Amari is injured I hope he can get to full strength by Friday. We are going to need all 3 bigs to be able to finish inside if we are going to win against UT for a 3rd time. I kind of wish we lost 1 of those games to them now. It's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season.

I believe we did it some years ago against LSU. But I was keeping track of Williams in the last game and he cost us 19 points! That's hard to believe but it is true. If he had made 10 more points the game woulsn't have even been close. I hope we can win the next 2 games but lady luck has been nice to us so far. I'm not sure how far luck can carry us

Alabama seemed to thrive in kicking UK's rear end for the third time.
Hoping UK can do similar things to UT. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
