Sorry Tad Boyle but you lost this game. Bama's strength wasn't rocket surgery - they play pressure defense and crap themselves on offense. Oh and they rebound, so take high percentage shots.
So what do we do with a 1 point lead and the game on the line? Call a time out and play to defend their outside shot. (They haven't shown the ability to hit a contested outside shot all night.). We give up an uncontested layup by a GUARD, with a one fake on Higgins.
REALLY?
Then with an inbound play, 9.3 to go at halfcourt, Burks beats his meat for 6 seconds and jacks up a three.
REALLY?
With four other guys standing around on the perimeter, expecting Burks to jack up a 3 and cave for the rebound. Against a really good rebounding team.
REALLY?
With less than a second to go.
Boyle fecked up this game. Burks thinks Carmelo Anthony's .500 habits were awesome.
It's only one season, but something needs to change. I know that Boyle has never had a player of this caliber. I get that, but so do ALL OTHER COACHES. Get the hint, Todd.
