  • E110 BH Alabama loses at home to Texas 92 88 Quick Reaction
    2026/01/11

    Alabama’s takes its first bad loss on the season at home 92-88 as this loss hurt its chances to get a top four seed in the NCAA tournament and makes Bama just 1-2 in the SEC and 11-5 on the season. Bama is on the struggle bus in SEC play. What the heck?? After a big loss to TN, Texas came in hungry and motivated and put it to Alabama. They were aggressive all night on both ends of the court. Coach of Texas Sean Miller gave it to his players before the game challenging them to step up and play hard and play well or they could find another school. His team responded as he hoped and took it to Alabama. • Final Score: Texas defeated Alabama 92-88 [1]. Stars of the Game LaBaron Philon with 21 and Aden Holloway with 18 Other notables: Amari Allen with 11 pts, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks Aiden Sherrell with 13 pts, 5 rebs, 1 steal, and 1 block TBB with 11 pts, 10 rebs, and 2 blocks Jemison with 9 pts, 5 rebs, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block MIA’s Keitenn Bristow – what has happened to him, no impact Noah Williamson - little impact with 2 pts, 3 rebs, and 1 block Houston Mallette – no impact with 2 rebs and no pts Jalil Bethea – 3 pts and no other stats in 4 mins Emphasis on guarding Philon hard and not leaving him to help. Also doubling him on drives to the basket to force contested shots, force turnovers, or force the ball out of his hands. Kept a defender at the rim to challenge Holloway and others at the rim. Key Team Stats Bama missed key free throws down the stretch and was 19-27 from the free throw line Although Tx missed 10 FT’s, Tx scored 22 FT’s to Bama’s 19. Tx outrebounded Bama by 10 48-38 Tx scored 36 pts in paint to Bama’s 32 pts. Small things led to the Bama loss. When it mattered most in the last four minutes of the game, Tx got the defensive stops, made enough free throws, and scored in the post. Also, Alabama didn’t run its offense effectively to get good shots from 2 or from 3 when needed. Too many highly contested shots from two and from three that Alabama could not make This loss stings badly and puts Bama in a bad position if they want to be a top four seed in the NCAA tournament. Issue – Costly turnovers by Philon. And Philon has to be better on defense. He seems to be OK, but nothing special on defense at times this year. Not being a shutdown defender. Holloway also was getting beat too much by the man he was guarding. Bama fell behind by 13 pts in the first half before cutting the margin to 1 at half and then by 11 pts in the 2nd half before getting it back to just 1 late in the game. But Bama didn’t have enough to grab the lead and when. Bama cannot keep falling behind in the games and then try to dig themselves out of these holes. Ball movement on offense is not always good. Need to move the ball better and find better shots from both 3 and from 2. Lack of low-post offense threat – None of the Bama post players can easily or efficiently in the low post. It is a problem and probably cannot be fixed this season. And Bama cannot win a natty without low post scoring threat and having an effective low post scorer. Got no production from Mallette, Bethea, or Bristow and little from Williamson although no one expects much from him game to game. Alabama is now 11-5 on the season and 1-2 in the SEC. Bama needs to figure some things out and get back to winning or their seeding in the NCAA will keep sliding. And let’s hope it doesn’t get so bad that they risk not making the tournament. Bama is not playing like a final four or even sweet 16 team if you judge them by the way Bama played against Texas. Up next: Alabama goes on the road to Mississippi State on Tuesday, Jan 13 at 8 pm. Look for Bama to rebound and play better. But this loss is worrisome. Bama must play better if they want to be a sweet 16 team again this year.

  • E109 BH Alabama goes portal heavy as Portal Mania in full swing to rebuild retool roster
    2026/01/09

    Alabama rolls the dice and is fully embracing using the aim to upgrade its roster with proven, productive players and to let 19 or more players walk. And being taken apart by Indiana built through smart portal acquisitions and watching Miami, Oregon, and Ole Miss also use the portal to build teams that are in the final four, Bama has embraced the need to upgrade the roster in key spots through the portal. Will it work? Will Bama make smart additions to the roster? And then can DeBoer and his staff coach up into a cohesive unit on both sides of the ball and on special teams to allow the 2026 team to get back into the playoffs and make a run for a natty? 19 players from Bama have entered the portal and are all likely to leave, and Bama has signed 5 players so far from the portal. The 2025 roster was not good enough and the clear intent is to upgrade the roster with proven, productive and experience college players at key positions such as running back, offensive line, defensive line, and Linebacker. Bama would also take a proven WR such as say Cam Coleman or a high-level defensive back or two. Bama has signed 5 players to date and at least four of them are likely to be starters for 2026. Bama wants to add proven, productive players, not just talented, but unproven players.

They have already landed Kaden Strayhorn from Michigan. • Defensive Line/EDGE: To compensate for significant losses on the defensive front, the Tide is pursuing Malik Blockton (Auburn), Jordan Ross (Tennessee), and Cody Sigler (Arkansas State).

Alabama has been actively recruiting players and has had several on-campus visits since the transfer portal opened on January 2, 2026. •

  • E107 BH Alabama win over Kentucky 89 to 74 Quick Reaction Basketball
    2026/01/03

    Alabama currently owns Kentucky in basketball as Alabama has now beaten Ky 4 straight times. Alabama wins over Kentucky this afternoon 89 to 74 as one new player to the Bama squad comes out of hiding to contribute meaningfully to the winning effort and another new key acquisition to the team this year was MIA as Alabama starts SEC play with a win. One win down, 17 to go for Bama in the SEC. Alabama has now beaten KY four straight times. And Alabama has been to a sweet 16, final four, and elite 8 in the last three years. Kentucky meanwhile ran John Calipari out of town and over to Arkansas and hired Mark Pope to take his place and to try to rebuild Kentucky into a championship contending top ten team again. The Nate Oates-led Alabama basketball program has surpassed Kentucky as an elite top ten program while Kentucky that spent over $20 million on its NIL and spent millions on acquiring players in the portal in the off-season is struggling to be a top thirty level program right now. Alabama 89, Kentucky 74 — in Tuscaloosa, opening SEC play for both teams. The Stats Bama players: Aden Holloway had 27 pts, 7 assts, and no Turnovers leading Bama Noah Williamson scored 10 pts, grabbed 4 rebs, dished out 2 assists, blocked 1 shot, and had 2 steals. Labaron Philon had a quiet 17 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists, 3 steals, and only 1 TO scoring most of his points in the 2nd half. KY keyed on Philon and pressured him all over the court with the clear goal of making sure Philon didn’t torch KY, and yet Philon still scored 17 pts and didn’t try to force things, but was 0-6 from three. Houston Mallette had 14 pts and 5 rebs and 1 TO in another solid Mallette performance Amari Allen had 11 pts, 9 rebs, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, but had 3 TO’s. Bama shot 46% from the field and 39% from Three despite Philon’s 0 for 6 from three Bama made 75% of their free throws Bama made 15 threes compared to 4 from KY Bama outrebounded KY 41 to 37 as Bama worked to gang-rebound with 5 hitting the boards on the defensive end most every possession. Bama had 17 assists to only 9 for KY – indicative of Bama’s great ball movement Ky only outscored Bama 36 to 32 in the paint TO’s- 10 for Bama to 12 for KY Highlights Five Bama players in double-figures. Aden Holloway scoring 26 pts with 5 assists while shooting 6-8 from 3. Philon, Allen, Williamson, and Mallette also scored in double-digits Bama led by 14 at the half and won by 13 as they held onto the lead to get a good home win to start SEC play. Williamson’s play was much needed with Sherrell’s knee injury and not being available for much of the game. One game is not a trend, but Williamson played well tonight, contributed, and showed in this game that he can play against SEC competition. Can he play this well and contribute like this game in and game out? Not sure? But this is the first signs of life we have seen from Williamson this season. We need this type of performance in many more games. Encouraging performance. Let’s see what we get at Vandy. Great shooting from the field, from three, and from the free throw line Offensive efficiency with 17 assists and only 10 TO’s Outrebounded KY Won by double digits Hard hat award again to Amari Allen as he had another all-around great stat stuffer performance highlighted by Allen’s 9 rebs Philon and Holloway are the best duo of guards in the SEC and one of the best duo’s in the nation. Issues Injury to Sherrell – knee - how bad? TBB out with back issues Davion Hannah still out with injury Jalil Bethea was MIA. Only played 3 minutes in the first half. Jacked up 3 and missed it and was quickly pulled from the game and didn’t play any more. He has great upside and Bama needs more from him game in and game out. Bristow played, but didn’t contribute much Wrightsell had a subpar game and shot poorly. Alabama is now 11-3 on the season. Next up for Bama is at Vanderbilt on Wednesday Night, Jan 7.

  • E106 BH Bama Loss to IU 38 to 3 Next Day Rx
    2026/01/02

    One team showed up and one team showed out. Indiana blasts Alabama 38-3. It was not a happy new year for Bama fans as Bama got blow out by Indiana in the Rose Bowl 38-3. Not only did Alabama lose, but Alabama lost badly. Fernando Mendoza throw three touchdowns and the Hoosiers' ground game and defense completely overwhelm the Crimson Tide. Indiana advanced to the Peach Bowl semifinals, while the loss was a disappointing end to Alabama's season. What happened and where did things go wrong. Bama forced IU into a 3 & out. Bama then punted the ball back to IU and IU went 84 yds and kicked a FG to take a 3-0 lead at the start of the 2nd quarter. Bama on its next drive only down 3-0 went for it on 4th and 1 on its own 35 yd line and didn’t make it as IU blew up the play. Terrible panic move by Bama to go for it instead of punting the ball and playing the field position game and as IU got the turnover on downs and scored to go up 10-0. IU took advantage of the short 35 yd field to score on 21 yd pass to Charlie Becker as he beat the Bama defender on one on one move for great pitch and catch. But prior to that, IU had 1st & 20 on the Bama 44 yd line after a holding penalty and a 21 yd run by Roman Hemby got IU the first down to put IU in the redzone after Bama had IU backed up. Bama played a soft coverage and got gashed by the IU running game on this play with poor alignment, tackling, and scheme. With IU up 10-0, Bama has short drive and punt, IU goes 3 & out, and then Bama goes 7 plays for 43 yds, but Ty fumbles on a scramble play on 3rd and 7 after picking up the first down as IU defender hits Ty hard and a second one punches the ball out. IU recovers the ball, takes advantage of the turnover short field, and goes on an 11 play drive for 58 yds and scores on 1 yd pass from Mendoza to Cooper to go into the half with a 17-0 lead. IU capitalized on two short fields and two turnovers by Bama in the first half to take the 17-0 lead. And on the play where Ty fumbled, he was hurt and played hurt the rest of the game until he was pulled out of the game with 7.46 mins left in the 3rd quarter with Indiana up 24-0. Before Ty was pulled, Bama came out on the first drive in the 2nd half and went 3 and out. Then IU drove down the field methodically before Mendoza threw his 3rd TD pass of the night to Saratt to take a 24-0 lead. The game was over at that point. Austin Mack replaced Ty for the last 7 mins of the 3rd quarter and all of the 4th quarter throwing for 103 yds on 11 completions and 16 attempts. Here are the highlights of the Alabama season 10-2 regular season record 7-1 regular season record in the SEC and tied for first Played in SEC Championship game Played in the CFP and won 34-24 first round game at Oklahoma. After missing the playoff in 2024 and only going 9-3 in the regular season, this season was a marked improvement. It was a fun season to follow and it was great to cheer on the Tide to 11 wins in the season after only winning 9 games in 2024. Alabama fans expect more given all the success of the Saban era, but still a successful season. What's Next: Alabama's season ends with an 11-4 record Now it is time to solidify the roster for 2026 Transfer Portal opens Today Jan 2, 2026. Bama will have players leave in the portal, and Bama will need to add some players in the portal to shore up some key positions. Need to figure out who is staying, who is going into the NFL draft, and who is leaving. And it is time to go portal shopping and shore up the o-line, the d-line, the running back room, and certain positions on the defense. And from a coaching perspective and x and o perspective, the coaches will have to figure out ways to shore up issues from the 2025 season. O-line and run blocking Run scheme and finding a RB who is elite D-line Tackling and playing with proper technique Defensive schemes Special teams – FG kicking and special teams coverage Just general issues of execution in all three phases of the game

  • E105 BH Alabama Yale Next Day Reaction as Bama wins 102 to 78
    2025/12/30

    Aden Holloway scored a career-high 26 points and handed out seven assists as No. 14 Alabama defeated Yale 102-78 on Monday night. Bama led by 24 pts 55 to 31 at half, and then cruised to 24 pt win as Bama built a 35 pt lead at one point and maintained its lead through out the 2nd half. Amari Allen, Jalil Bethea and Latrell Wrightsell added 15 points apiece for the Crimson Tide (10-3). Bama played without star guard Labaron Philon Jr. for the first time this season. Alabama coach Nate Oats said Philon injured his leg in the previous game Dec. 21 against Kennesaw State and sat out as a precaution, but it should not be a long-term concern. Alabama had one of its best offensive games of the season. The Crimson Tide scored a season-high 55 points and made 11 shots from 3-point range in the first half, shooting 50% from the floor overall. Alabama entered as the fourth-best 3-point scoring team in the nation averaging 12.8 threes per game and finished with a season-best 22 from behind the arc. Houston Mallete had 12 points for the Tide, and Allen grabbed nine rebounds. Holloway drained a deep 3-pointer with 38 seconds left to put Alabama above 100 points. He converted the free throw for a four-point play, giving him his career high. Up next Alabama hosts Kentucky in its SEC opener on Saturday, January 3rd in Tuscaloosa. The Stats Aden Holloway had 27 pts, 7 assts, and no Turnovers leading Bama Jalil Bethea has 15 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists, and no turnovers Amari Allen had 15 pts, 9 rebs, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 blocks. Latrell Wrightsell has 15 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists, and no turnovers And Houston Mallette had 12 pts, 3 rebs, 3 assists, and no turnovers as Bama had 5 players score in double figures Aiden Sherrell led Bama with 9 pts, 6 rebs, and 1 block Keitenn Bristow and TBB combined for 7 pts, 15 rebs, 2 assists, and 1 steal, and 2 blocks as they split time at the four. Highlights Aden Holloway scoring 26 pts with 7 assists while shooting 5-10 from 3. Bethea stepping up scoring 15 pts in 20 mins with Philon out. Bama having 5 players score in double-figures. Very balanced scoring from five players. Bama had 5 TO’s to 8 Tos for Yale Bama made 22 threes to 9 for Yale shooting 41% from 3. Bama made 75% of their Free Throws Bama outrebounded Yale 46 to 38 Bama only had 5 TO’s to 8 for Yale Issues Yale scored 32 pts of paint to 20 for Bama Bristow and TBB combine for 7 pts. Need more from them with each of them. Got no production from Noah Williamson in just 4 mins of play Sherrell struggled to score the ball. Starters tonight were TTB, Sherrell, Holloway, Allen, and Mallette Who is the best starting five? Who is the best closing five? Who is the best five? Best four are Philon, Holloway, Bethea, and Sherrell Philon is elite and one of the best guards in the SEC and in the nation and potential first team All-American. Philon is bringing it every game and is now a consistent 20 pt per game scorer no matter the competition. Philon scores at all three levels and makes his free throws. He has also cut down on his turnovers. When Holloway plays like he did against So Florida, he is elite and forms a great tandem with Philon. Holloway just does not play this well every game. His ceiling is really high, but his floor is much lower than Philon’s as he can be a non-factor in some games. The other two best players are Bethea and Sherrell Mallette, Wrightsell, TBB, Allen, and Jemison all are solid players and contributors. Hannah seems out of control on offense and needs to work on his offense skills. He cannot finish at the rim or in the midrange. His three-point shot not reliable. He has work to do, but he is just a freshman. No team will go undefeated, but these three loses show that Bama has a ceiling that will be hard to break through. Alabama is now 10-3 on the season. Next up for Bama is a home game against Kentucky on Saturday, Jan 3 at 1 pm.

  • E103 BH Bama vs In Hoosiers Preview for Rose Bowl
    2025/12/29

    Preview of Rose Bowl match Bama vs IN Key Insights Indiana's Dominance: The Hoosiers, led by AP Coach of the Year Curt Cignetti and Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, enter the playoff undefeated after beating Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship. They boast an elite defense that is ranked highly in several national metrics, allowing just over 10 points per game and 257.2 total yards per game. Alabama's Position: Alabama is an underdog, with some models giving them a 36% chance to win the Rose Bowl matchup. Quarterback Ty Simpson leads the offense, while the defense features key players like linebacker Deontae Lawson and defensive back Domani Jackson. Expert Predictions: Projections from various sources largely favor Indiana, with predicted scores like Indiana 28, Alabama 17 (USA TODAY Sports) and a win probability of 64% according to one simulation model. The game is expected to be a tough test for both teams. For the 2025 college football season, Alabama had a significantly tougher Strength of Schedule (SOS) than Indiana, while Indiana had a better Strength of Record (SOR) due to their undefeated performance against their less demanding schedule. Alabama's Tough Schedule: Alabama faced one of the most challenging schedules in college football, ranked No. 6 nationally by ESPN's FPI. They played five games against teams in the CFP Top-25, going 3-2 in those matchups. This difficult slate contributed to their three losses. Indiana's Dominant Record: Indiana, ranked No. 1, achieved a perfect 13-0, including significant wins over ranked opponents like Oregon and Penn State. Their SOR rank of No. 1 reflects their undefeated season, even though their overall SOS was lower, ranking No. 28 nationally. Contrasting Results: The key difference is that Alabama's challenging schedule resulted in more losses (11-3 record), whereas Indiana navigated its schedule without a single loss (13-0 record), leading to a higher overall record strength. Indiana had a much easier schedule than Alabama. SOS for Indiana is 28 SOS for Alabama is 6 Indiana won all its games, but barely beat Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State. Indiana's offense is considerably more productive, led by Heisman-winner Fernando Mendoza, who boasts a 71.5% completion rate, over 2,980 passing yards, and a 33-to-6 TD:INT ratio. Alabama's offense has been more one-dimensional and struggled with their run game. Indiana's defense is one of the best in the nation and excels at creating "havoc" and forcing turnovers, leading the FBS with a +17 turnover margin. While Alabama has a solid defense, it is not as dominant as Indiana's, particularly against the run. at Iowa W 20–15 at Ohio State W 13–10 at Penn State W 27–24 at Oregon W 30–20 Bama is better than Iowa and Penn State Bama is as good as Oregon and possibly better than Oregon. How Alabama can beat Indiana?
