Hopefully we get a good student turnout and walk up crowd. Doesn't seem to be as much buzz about this game vs the Memphis game.

The game will be on ESPN 2 for those who won't make it

Since it’s 90’s night, I vote for shook ones to be played during starting lineup introduction.

…because they never fit!

Yeah, this is Alabama. Should give out nothing smaller than XXL. I haven’t been able to wear XL since HS.

Yea I’m XX but I’m 6-4. Yea they never fit. I usually give them to grands.

They generally have some up near the main entrance to swap sizes, and everyone in Bartow isn't XXL+. I stand by the observation.

The standard ratio is 1-2-3-3-1 starting at S up to XXL

Exactly. Don’t just buy one size, buy multiple sizes. But we are lazy and cheap.

What are expecting the crowd to be like tonight?

My guess is 5k, there are tons of seats still available

Thankfully, I’ve dropped 3 sizes as I’ve aged so XL’s are now just freebies to give to whoever wants the shirts.

Good crowd for Thursday night

Poor shooting and turnovers to start

Really really dumb foul by JD. He should’ve been called for 2 others but we’ve gotten lucky.

Bad start.

Hopefully we wake up. They aren’t doing anything impressive we’re just playing sloppy AF - color me unsurprised

Why can AKs big men play without picking up dumb fouls?

Jemison did it his first two years.

Buffen did it the entire time he was here.

JD has done it the entire time he’s here.

We’re playing with no energy. I hate the way we are playing. Sloppy, can’t make shots, dumb fouls, only hanging in bc they aren’t making threes.

They will blow this one wide open if we don’t wake up.

I hope this isn’t one of our 3-4 annual WTF games where we just don’t show up for whatever reason.

JD is almost guaranteed to have 2 fouls before we reach the under 16 timeout every time. We've committed some bad turnovers and we're giving up a lot of offensive boards.

I don’t see where we could go to find answers on offense.

Got golden on the bench and still couldn’t make it work inside.

Get a f*cking rebound
