9 seconds and Rilen makes a horrid closeout and their guy kicks to a corner 3 and the gumps go up 2.

Then Marcus has Philon hemmed in and he got too aggressive .

Little things, but proud of our Ags.

Need everyone who is playing better to stay hot and get Griffen back to aggressive form.

I thought the difference was how Alabama attacked early after breaking the press. Every one else in sec games have pulled it out and set it up after breaking the press.

Alabama attacked early and often. I'm surprised other teams haven't done similar.

Georgia did it a bit to us in the second half.

I knew the game was fixed when Pop reached for a steal, the bama point guard hooked Pop's arm, and the pos ref called the foul on Pop


I was proud of Pop for keeping his cool though


That pos ref deserved to get jacked in the forehead

I thought that was a good and crafty play by the Bama player.

The game ended when they hit the 3 before the half. We should've just jumped on the flight home.

Not even sad. We will learn from his. And it took a completely stacked deck (refs, timekeeper, replay, missed open shots by Ags) for bama to win at home as a nine point favorite.

This team is fun and gonna wreck some teams in March. On to the next one.

what was wrong with the timekeeper and replay?

If time was added that was based on refs decision

Time clock uses precision time to go on the whistle with timekeeper as back up if clock doesnt start or in some cases doesnt stop bu that would be by review as well using cameras

Replay didnt change the one call Bama challenged for them. We didnt challenge the change in the call out of bounds


Just because we dont understand something that does or does not happen doesnt mean it was done incorrectly or out to screw over the Ags

We played well we made mistakes and had some unfortunate things happen but we played harder and better than i thought we would on Bama home floor

I thought the teams played more aggressively in the second half which led to more fouls. That is common because coaches will frequently go in at half and tell their players to get more aggressive because they have no foul trouble. Once it started getting more physical after 4-6 minutes of action, the officials seemed to tighten down to keep the game from getting out of control.

The biggest impact the officials had was the T on Oates. It helped get us back in the game. It was a great game and unfortunately the Ags didn't come out on top but they again showed they are a contender to win the SEC.

Wow that's some creative viewing. In truth, Isaacs blew a tear drop from 5', then in frustration he was all over the Bama guard as he brought it up the backcourt.

I was cringing as I KNEW poo was about to get a frustration 2-shot foul with just 4:30 left.

Bucky rightly took him out and never put him back in.

Pop needs to get his emotions under control- they lead to terrible decisions.

The officiating was bad. I dont know how many games I watch (all teams) a dribbler put his forearm into the defender and PUSh hard enough to get 6 feet of separation. Never called.

And Alabama had 9 fouls in the first 8 minutes of the 2nd half, but only 3!!? in the first half? Garbage.

Different game if they called half of the fouls in the first half they should have.

---

I tend to agree.

It appeared on some of the replays, you would see our guys heads pop back when taking on the bama ball handler(s). I think we need to work on taking the charge when the dribbler comes into the defender's body,

As I've stated previously numerous times, I'm glad buzz is gone, but this was one area where we succeeded in the past under buzz (again, glad he's gone).

TAKE THE CHARGE.

It's crafty when the refs are cheating I guess

But it was a blatant offensive foul.

These are not the same thing... I will agree the refs had flaws, but not on this play. Pop fouled before the hook. You cant reach your off ball hand all the way across the defender and make contact with your shoulder. The hooks was unnecessary and "could" have been its own foul also, but Pop had already killed the play.

Rebounding was the difference.

Bama was plus 8 in offensive rebounding.

That is 6 points using the 45% field goal percentage.

Dont ruin a tough battled game by blaming the refs. It's like A&M fans never watch college basketball. It was a really good game that you lost on the road with a chance to tie.

I missed the contact your referencing on the replay. That makes sense though. Thanks for the clarification

Pop made to easy for the ref with his visible frustration and reach in.

The criminal move by the refs was changing the outcome of bounds call with two left in the game without a review

Play better.

This.

Refs are always bad, but they aren't out to get you. I promise you Bama fans were also complaining about the refs in the second half when we got in the double bonus with like 12 minutes to play. How can the refs be out to get both teams? It's part of the game and you have to play better to win.
