Crimson Red Sports

Game on SEC NETWORK @ 8 pm. Team from Big South Conference in Winthrop, that's 6-2 with a good coach. Lost to NC State & Georgia this year. They have 3 scorers who average 18.9, 17.5, & 13.5 points a game. Plus, they have 3 big men who can rebound, one is 6'10", two others who are 6'8". We should win without a problem.



 :tinfoil:

Possible interesting match-up between 5'10" Coleman & 5'7" Keon Johnson who is their leading scorer at 18.9 point a game. Don't know if we would have Coleman on him, but it would be quickness on quickness.



 :popcorn2:

Looking forward to see how much improvement is made even after losing Dazon. RTR!

SHOWTIME!





 :dance: :dance: :dance:

7-5 Tide very early. Jimmy Taylor looks very involved in game. Edwards playing good, too.



 :clap:

Is there anyone out there?

 :afraid: :afraid: :afraid:

Crowd is somnolent.

Both teams sloppy & disjointed right now. 9-9 with over 11 minutes left.



 :facepalm:

Tide 0/4 in 3 pointers. Still 9-9.



 :wall:

Obasohan in foul trouble & on bench. Brandon Austin, true freshman for Tide in game. Neither team can throw it in the ocean. 15-15 Winthrop. We need to pound it inside, we have a solid size advantage.



 :popcorn2:

Brandon Austin bringing it. Lots of energy & has 7 points. 6'5" guard out of Carver-Montgomery. 20-20 all.

Hate seeing all those empty white chairs.

Gosh to be ahead as they played in the 1st half is good for us. RTR!

Tide being carried by Taylor 8 pts/3 reb, Edwards 7/3, Austin 7/3, & Norris 0 points but 5 rebounds & good D & energy. None have more than 1 foul. Is something wrong with Shannon Hale? Don't remember seeing him on floor.



 :popcorn2:

Hale is sitting this one out.

Hurt, in doghouse, something else?


 ???

Taylor with 12 points, 5 rebounds. Edwards 9 points. 38-31 Tide.

40-31 Tide. Timeout. Only 3 Winthrop players have scored, Johnson has 19.

Jimmy Taylor is eating their lunch. He is overpowering Winthrop. Plus, Obasohan is warming up. 46-31 Tide. Obasohan with 2 more FG's, 48-31.



 :clap: :clap: :clap:

Coleman getting aggressive and gaining confidence. Bama up 60-37.

53-33 Tide. Tide size depth, & quality showing itself now. Still only 3 scorers for Winthrop. Amazing. 60-37 Tide. Coleman has hit 2-3 pointers now. Tide 25/45 FG, 55%.



 :popcorn:

Coleman has gotten hot & has 16 points, 3/5 3 pointers & 5 assists.

Tide wins 72-60.

Coleman must have scored all 18 of his points in the 2nd half. I don't think he hit anything in the first half. I hope this jump starts him to continue playing well. With Ingram out, we'll need him.

Kudos to him Obasohon and Taylor for blowing it open in the 2nd half!

my internal clock tells me when Bama Football is on  :lol2:

missed another BB game it's like the power was off and that clock is flashing

 :wall: :wall: :wall: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

 :lol:

We really need Coleman, Hale, Obasohan, & Edwards to hit outside shots during the season. Doesn't have to be just 3 pointers, but the 15-18 foot jumper, too. That will really open up the middle & under the basket for Taylor, Hall, & Kessens.

I was watching the game on DVR time delay.  

Announcers said Hale wasn't playing, but I didn't hear a reason.

Apparently some unspecified medical condition.  http://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/index.ssf/2015/12/live_updates_analysis_alabama_3.html

I guess Taylor was the big guy tonight. RTR!

72-60


 #+ #+

CAJ said in his post game comments Hale is possible for Oregon on Monday but doubtful.  :(  He never said what the medical condition is.

Yeah, that was the first I had heard about the medical condition. I hope it's nothing serious.

Man, I hope it isn't that same foot he had surgery on. This really worries me. A real talent & I don't want him rushed back to action unless he's 100%


 :wall:

Medical issue huh?

I may be wrong but I think it might be an off court issue that's labeled as medical and I won't go into any detail because I have no facts of anything. My opinion is merely based on how CAJ worded the reason for him not playing last night and that he would be able but probably will not play in the next game either. Coach sounds a little irritated. ;)

Interesting, plus the announcers danced around the issue. Very unusual. Thanks for the info.

Back by popular demand of thousands.

Thanks for the inside scoop.  The way they all talked about it, it sounded almost disciplinary, but it was labeled medical.  Maybe Hale was using something "medical."   :unsure:
