I’ll put it bluntly: last night sucked. We played our worst game of the year, lost at Alabama, and had our nation-leading fourteen-game winning streak snapped. Alabama didn’t even have Collin Sexton, but that didn’t matter. John Petty went wild, more unconscious than Hansel in a walk-off against Derek Zoolander. He hit eight threes, we couldn’t make a shot, couldn’t shoot free throws, couldn’t hold onto the ball, etc.
It was bad.
But hey, Bruce Pearl said himself today that Alabama’s the most talented team we’ll face. That may be true. He also said it was a missed opportunity.
