This game was a repeat of most any big game we have lost in last few years. Our offense consist of driving to the basket as option #1, occasional pass off the dribble for option #2, and a couple of passes and a three point attempt as option #3.
Alabama did a better job in the 2nd half of sealing the lane, making driving to basket much more contested and difficult and we had marginal success.
Our occasional pass off the dribble produced some opportunities when our guard wasnt turning the ball over. Lastly, we we terrible from 3 point land in the second half. Our offense requires that we shoot well from the outside in order to stretch the defense. We are not a team that passes the ball to create shots whether outside or inside. Our bigs are on the floor for defense and rebounding only. White is still not physical. Powell is our most physical big but doesnt disrupt shots as well as White and McKinnley looks like his feet are nailed to the ground - his lateral movement is terrible and his vertical is about 2". Sherman would have really helped last night.
Our guards and mid-size players are talented. This game came down to turnovers, outside shooting and rebounding down the stretch and we lost all three categories.
