The Alabama Crimson Tide Mens Basketball team defeated the Belmont Bruins with a final score of 92 – 72 to improve their record to 6 – 5.

Head coach Nate Oats’ philosophy of more shots in as little time as possible was the key to winning the game for Alabama.

The Crimson Tide attempted a total of 67 shots and made 34 of them for a field goal percentage of 50.7 percent.

Offensively, the starting five were all consistent in their scoring. The highest scorer was Jaden Shackelford with 16 points and the lowest scorer out of the five was Alex Reese with 13 points.

John Petty is the star of the game with 14 points two forced turnovers, two steals, four assists and 11 rebounds.

Alabama is seemingly on the rise after finding their groove in the first ten games of the season.

As they near SEC play it looks as if Oats’ play-style is finally starting to clique and result in some wins for this Alabama team.

Alabama will face Richmond in their next matchup at home on Dec. 29 before starting conference play vs. Florida on Jan. 4 in Gainesville.

Alabama basketball drops road loss to Penn State

Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide Men’s basketball team will be leaving Penn State with a losing record as they came within a field goal of taking down the Nittany Lions with a final score of 71-73. Onto the next one. pic.twitter.com/SsqswkHmec …

Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide Men’s basketball team will be leaving Penn State with a losing record as they came within a field goal of taking down the Nittany Lions with a final score of 71-73.

James Bolden was the offensive star of the game, scoring 15 off the bench, and Alex Reese made his presence felt putting up 12 points.

Overall, Coach Oats’ offensive style makes the box score look a little ugly but it puts points on the board.

The Crimson Tide went 27-77 on field goals, 9-34 on threes and still struggling on free throws as they only sank 8 of 14.

Herb Jones came out of the game looking like a star as he had eight rebounds, three steals, two assists, a lone block and six points.

Alabama will now look to take on Samford on Dec. 18 to bring their record back up to .500 and hopefully improve their resume so that they can dance in March.

Look: Draymond Green praises Alabama basketball HC Nate Oats

The Alabama basketball team is off to a disappointing start in 2019. Through six games, the Crimson Tide is 2-4, including back-to-back losses to North Carolina and Iowa State in the “Battle for Atlantis” tournament.

The unfortunate start to new head coach Nate Oats’ tenure could have Alabama fans concerned about the future of the program, but one familiar name in the world of basketball gave some relieving insight via Twitter.

Golden State Warriors starting power forward Draymond Green was that player, and he revealed his opinion during the Crimson Tide’s second loss in as many days on Thanksgiving:

This was never going to be an instant turnover for the program, especially with key injures to players such as Juwan Gary and James Rojas. And if that wasn’t enough, the NCAA also denied Villanova transfer Jahvon Quinerly’s request for immediate eligibility.

It’s frustrating right now, Alabama fans, but continue to try to show patience. Oats is the right man for the job!

Alabama basketball loses vs. UNC in The Bahamas

Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide Mens Basketball team dropped their third game of the season (2-3) against the North Carolina Tar Heels (5-0) in ‘Battle 4 Atlantis.’ The final score of the contest was much closer than many had anticipated …

Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide Mens Basketball team dropped their third game of the season (2-3) against the North Carolina Tar Heels (5-0) in ‘Battle 4 Atlantis.’

The final score of the contest was much closer than many had anticipated (76-67).

Alabama stays strong in the first half, entering halftime only down by six points.

The Tide wasn’t able to overcome the deficit in the second half and lost by nine, which should still be a moral victory for the program seeing that the Tar Heels entered this matchup as the sixth best team in the nation.

Offensively, Alabama just didn’t appear to be all there.

The team shot for a combined 38 percent on field goals, 35 percent for threes and a miserable 44 percent from the line.

The only two valuable offensive pieces tonight were John Petty and Kira Lewis Jr., both of whom were the only players that played over 35 minutes.

Petty led the team with 23 points, while Lewis was right behind him with 20.

The Alabama defense wasn’t terrible as they had six steals, four blocks and 14 turnovers.

The 2019 – 2020 college basketball season is still young, and while the Crimson Tide are currently under .500 on the year, it’s not time to panic yet.

Nate Oats is set to lead his team into the next round of the ‘Battle 4 Atlantis’ against the Iowa State Cyclones, who lost in round one against Michigan.

Collin Sexton takes another step towards NBA stardom

The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Miami Heat with a final score of 100-124 to have a record of 4-10 to start the season.

While their record may not be all that great, one player is continuing to grow into what may be the next young star.

Former Alabama guard Collin Sexton has been putting up solid numbers in the wins and the losses.

In the loss against Miami, Sexton had 19 points and two rebounds.

So far in the 14 games played in the 2019 – 2020 season, Sexton averages 18 points per game, two assists, three rebounds and a field goal percentage of just over 44 percent.

While his name may be hidden due to the Cavaliers’ poor performances or drowned out because of the many young stars all over the league, his talent has not gone unrecognized within the organization.

Cavaliers head coach John Beilein claims that Sexton is developing into something special.

“He’s learning how to play. He’s 20 years old. He’s playing against some really good players every single day. We’re hoping that he grows daily to just be a really good backcourt player,” says Beilein, “I think last year, probably a scorer who could play point guard, but if he can ever get to be able to do both, have the mentality either way, that’s a special player.”

David Zavac, of “Fear The Sword,” argues that Sexton has the “strength and athleticism” to be a difference maker on this Cleveland team.

Zavac argues that with Sexton’s continued growth, he could be a new key play-maker on the team not named Kevin Love or Tristan Thompson.

There is plenty of time left in Sexton’s sophomore season to show signs of strong improvement, and even establish a presence on the national level across the league.

Even if the 2019-2020 season is only a small stepping stone in the right direction to what will hopefully become a long and successful career in the NBA.
