Alabama basketball

After a loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament, Alabama basketball point guard Jahvon Quinerly announced he has played his last college game.

Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers 🙏🏼 the rest is in God’s hands… He was helped off of the floor by the Alabama training staff and did not return. "Never in a million years would I have thought this how my last college game was gonna play out.

Alabama could look significantly different again next fall for Nate Oats' fourth season as coach.

According to College Basketball Reference’s simple rating system, which takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule, the 2020-21 season was the best for Alabama in all seasons tracked since 1949, while this season was seventh-best. If Alabama adds through the transfer portal this offseason, it would not be surprising to see Nate Oats place an emphasis on basketball IQ, leadership skills and toughness -- some of the qualities it found in Yale transfer Jordan Bruner two seasons ago. Tchikou, a top-70 prospect in the 2020 class, was not in uniform for Friday’s game in San Diego. “Like, you’ve got to be able to convince them that we’ve got to change and get better, even though we won. But no player’s output seemed to be more erratic that Quinerly’s. Although still effective at driving to the basket and scoring 14.3 points per game, Quinerly’s three-point percentage took a nosedive, he was turnover prone and his defensive effort was openly questioned by Oats at multiple points. Davison’s sometimes questionable decision-making led to turnover-heavy games and a critical shot-clock violation late in a loss in Baton Rouge, while Bediako was relegated to spot duty in some games without a fair defensive matchup. Oats routinely called out his team for a lack of energy and effort, especially on defense, inserting walk-on Britton Johnson into the game and benching other players -- most notably Quinerly -- to send a message. To Oats’ credit, he cautioned fans before the season that expecting 16-2 conference records and SEC titles might be a large ask for a program that is looking to establish itself as a consistent member of the NCAA tournament field. Thank you for all the well wishes and prayers 🙏🏼 the rest is in God’s hands… That was a luxury enjoyed by Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, who relayed a story after Friday’s win about how senior guard Cormac Ryan -- who scored 29 points against Alabama -- wanted Brey to light into his team in practice after losing to Virginia Tech to open the ACC tournament. He said the Tide’s 2020-21 team might be the best in the program’s history, and it “changed the entire narrative” of basketball at Alabama. Oats noted that senior James Rojas stepped up as a leader after he returned from injury, but otherwise there was a “void” that never was filled.

Alabama basketball' season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament with a loss to Notre Dame, far short of the team's potential.

“If you're a 2, 3 seed, you're not playing Notre Dame in the first round. The Crimson Tide defeated Gonzaga and Houston in December, two Final Four teams from the previous year. “We can go big, small, whatever we have to do,” Oats said on Feb. 22. Alabama showed it had the ability to beat anyone. The Crimson Tide convinced its leading scorer, Jaden Shackelford, to stay after he looked at his options. Wins were expected for this group because of what Alabama brought back.

Alabama basketball held voluntary shootarounds before NCAA Tournament loss to Notre Dame, and most did not show up.

"So the buy-in was there for most of them most of the time," Oats said. "But JQ was the only one that came last night." More of the team attending wouldn't have necessarily translated to Alabama defeating Notre Dame on Friday. Alabama lost 78-64. We had shooting times at a high school gym every night here because our guys get in the gym a lot on their own back home. Quinerly was the only player who went to the voluntary shootaround that night. "Shot it really well," Oats said.

The Notre Dame basketball team will take on No. 6 Alabama as an 11-seed in the West Region, hoping to keep their March Madness dreams alive.

For the Irish, they have to be riding high after their victory on Wednesday night, especially when you consider how clutch the likes of Paul Atkinson Jr., Dane Goodwin, and Blake Wesley were down the stretch. The Notre Dame basketball team was able to make it to the Field of 64 thanks to a thrilling victory over Rutgers on Wednesday night.

Here is what we know about Alabama basketball guard Jahvon Quinerly's knee injury in the NCAA Tournament vs. Notre Dame on Friday, March 18, 2022.

The Alabama men’s basketball program made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament during the 1974-75 season. "The doctor didn't think it was good," Alabama head coach Nate Oats said after the game. He played the 2018-19 season at Villanova as a freshman before transferring to Alabama.

Check out five keys for an Alabama Basketball victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Tide and Irish meet Friday afternoon in the Big Dance.

The reverse of tempo working for the Crimson Tide would be defensive lapses by Alabama. This season the Crimson Tide defense has, at times, faltered late in possessions. - The Notre Dame bigs are not leapers and Charles Bediako should cause them trouble near the basket. Predicting how this season’s Crimson Tide will play is perplexing. The only Irish defensive answer to Bediako is to get him to watch most of the game from the bench. The Irish have four guys who shoot the three well; Nate Laszewski at 46.2%, Dane Goodwin at 45.6%, Trey Wertz at 38.7% and Cormac Ryan at 38.4%. Two of those shooters are 6’5″, one is 6’6″ and one is 6’10”. Alabama must be careful to not foul them trying to close out late. Instead, they are the type of team that will let an opponent beat itself.

Notre Dame 3, Alabama 2 (16:31): A hush came over Viejas Arena after Jahvon Quinerly was fouled going to the basket and immediately grabbed for his left knee.

Notre Dame is shooting 59 percent from the field and 75 percent (6-of-8) on three pointers, which would be season highs for an Alabama opponent.

Here is a look at Jahvon Quinerly in the Alabama vs. Notre Dame men's basketball NCAA Tournament first-round game on Friday, March 18, 2022.

Alabama basketball faced Notre Dame in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in San Diego, California on Friday and lost in a one-and-done appearance.

Meanwhile, Alabama had some costly turnovers that helped Notre Dame build its lead early in the second half. Yet Alabama forced Notre Dame into a fair amount of mistakes. Alabama also needed Jaden Shackelford to step up as he played in his home state of California. He went 2-for-7 in the first half with eight points. They had only five in the win over Rutgers in the play-in game Wednesday. He's spent time in and out of the starting lineup. He was ruled out of the game with a left knee injury before the first half had even ended.

SAN DIEGO — Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats stressed three important things that his Crimson Tide needed to improve on heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Davison was one assist shy of a double-double with nine, leading the team in the category. [...] They were the better team today and gotta give them a lot of credit." The Crimson Tide conclude its year with a 19-14 overall record. Regarding Oats' list of things to improve for March Madness, Alabama finished the game having turned the basketball over 14 times, a slight improvement. "I wasn't like all the way tired to the point where I couldn't, I needed a breather. Just after Alabama forward Noah Gurley had quieted the Notre Dame crowd with a dunk, Ryan hit his sixth 3-pointer of the game to bring the Fighting Irish fans back on their feet. "I thought he was ready to play, and three minutes into the game he gets the knee injury, can't play the rest of the game. Notre Dame drained a three to start the second half, but six unanswered points by Davison cut the Fighting Irish's lead down to two. Alabama responded with a 3 from guard Jaden Shackelford, but the margin was still 11 points in favor of Notre Dame with 11:40 left to play. With Quinerly gone and Oats being forced to use Bediako sparingly, Alabama seemed to grow tired. At just under three-and-a-half minutes into the game, Crimson Tide junior guard Jahvon Quinerly injured his left knee while driving to the basket. After 5:30 had ticked off of the clock, the game was tied at 6.

Alabama's season ended Friday afternoon with its fourth consecutive loss, this time to Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament.

“Overall, I’d say we had a successful season just a little disappointed, a little inconsistent, to be honest with you,” Oats said. “If you’re a No. 2, No. 3 seed, you’re not playing Notre Dame in the first round. “I thought maybe we handled adversity a little -- not quite as well,” Oats said of the season as a whole. “I thought guys wanted to do well,” he said. “And some guys had gone the night before [Wednesday] and [Quinerly] didn’t. So then he went [Thursday]. We had shooting times at a high school gym every night here because our guys get in the gym a lot on their own back home. “I’m still a little frustrated,” Oats acknowledged after Friday’s game. “The buy-in was there for most of them most of the time. I thought effort waned a little bit here and there.” “But we made the tournament as a No. 6 seed with a chance to advance. “It was a successful season by a lot of standards,” Oats said. “I don’t think buy-in was necessarily an issue as much as maturity and experience were.” They’re a veteran group and they made shots.”

The Alabama Basketball season muddled to an end Friday afternoon in San Diego in a loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish that was no upset.

Despite the disappointing ending to a once-promising season, it should be acknowledged Nate Oats has raised expectations for Alabama Basketball. There is little reason to doubt him, though next season, with a roster built by his recruiting, performance needs to match promise. The Irish were also 10-for-11 from the foul line. Against Notre Dame, the Tide played more like the 11-seed rather than the Fighting Irish. When an 11-seed beats a 6-seed, it is supposed to be an upset. The Alabama basketball season came to a close Friday afternoon in San Diego. The closing game loss, 78-64 to Notre Dame was hardly shocking. After opening the SEC season with wins over Tennessee and Florida, Alabama was 11-3. But many of the Irish threes were solidly contested.

Alabama basketball held voluntary shootarounds before NCAA Tournament loss to Notre Dame, and most did not show up.

Fighting Irish head coach Mike Brey spoke with the media alongside players Blake Wesley and Cormac Ryan after beating the Crimson Tide and advancing to the ...

And so I have a short memory, if he can help us. And we would love to be the example this year. He's had to play the whole time and be the playmaker the whole time when they really have two playmakers, like we do. And I thought Virginia Tech was really ready to roll against us two weeks ago because they played well and you got a feel of things. And our defense -- we knew a little bit more what to do defensively when he was out because there was really only one guy really going. And I thought that grew him and got him more confident. And it's not like it's my time to do it, I need to get mine. And we were hungry down in Dayton, and I don't think we ever lost it. CORMAC RYAN: To be honest, I don't think we knew that, I don't think anybody did. And so when we're rolling and we're guarding, and then you add the 3-point attack, we're really a tough group to deal with. And when you have it rolling, you have it rolling. And I think the quick trip actually helped us because we were still hungry.
