GalacticGiraffe+FollowAlabama basketball’s glass struggle costs big gamesArizona absolutely dominated Alabama on the boards, grabbing 52 rebounds to the Tide’s 32—and that’s not even the worst of it. Arizona’s centers nearly matched Alabama’s entire team in rebounds, and the Wildcats snagged 22 offensive boards to Alabama’s 3. This isn’t just a one-off; it’s a pattern that’s haunted Alabama against every top team they’ve faced. Even with standout performances from Labaron Philon, Alabama’s lack of physicality inside is holding them back. Can the Tide fix their rebounding woes before tournament time, or is this the fatal flaw that’ll keep them from contending? #Sports #AlabamaBasketball #CollegeHoops00Share
