Wow!

 

[CycloneErik]

Riley totally blew that. There wasn't any other possible assignment there.

Talk about fouling for 10 minutes and then....don’t foul.

 

[BCClone]

Should have hacked the 2-7 FT shooter first.

Wonder if Bill thinks that was good coaching not to foul? Truckstop execution.

I was about to type that Bama is going to be kicking themselves for going 11-23 at the line but they can redeem that in OT now. Extra basketball is always good basketball.

Not sure if Cronin told them not to foul but man that seems like a mistake especially after the initial catch and then he started to dribble

 

[CycloneErik]

Today needed this game to keep going.

I mean they still need to be kicking themselves regardless. This game is already in the bag if they just shoot even 60% from the stripe.

 

[Cyched]

Should've fouled, but thought that was a good play design too

 

[CloneGuy8]

I don't understand not pressuring the inbounder in that situation.

 

[HoopsTournament]

As a P12 fan I think it just means there is more parity this year than normal, i.e., even as an 11, UCLA is really not that much worse than Bama as a 2.

Oregon, USC, and UCLA all get high caliber hoops recruits. Oregon State (Go Beavs!) are punching above their weight class doped up on some witch's brew of cow farts and underdog super strength.

Ps. First post on the BB forum. Hope no one minds if I stick around for the Ducks/Trojans.

No problem. Go Trojans.

Alabama free throw shooting looking like a Hoiberg coached team.

 

[Acylum]

Should have hacked the 2-7 FT shooter first.

Our hero never fouled in those situations.

 

[cyclones500]

Alabama resorts to the "Chuck 3-pointers" half-court strategy.

 

[jctisu]

Oats is going to have these guys do nothing but shoot free throws for the first two months of practice next year

 

[Kimber45]

No problem. Go Trojans.

*begins to sharpen knives during UCLA/Bama overtime.

 

[cyclones500]

Alabama is toast.

 

[isufbcurt]

Bama went stupid and just started chucking 3's

 

[jctisu]

Credit UCLA thus far for keeping their composure and playing a great OT. A lot of teams would crumble after they had that thing won in regulation. They have been great in OT.
