Congrats to Bama, Hillman, and all.

Great game tonight.  Colorado will be a tough game, but if we play like we have over the last 3 halves it should be no problem.

He put on a clinic on how a point guard should drive to the basket.  Great game for all.

He certainly knows how to drive to the basket but more important he knows how to finish when he gets there.

Congrats to CAG and all our players. We will have to mind our P&Q's when we meet Colorado I truly think they had as much right to be in the NCAA as we did. RTR!

I agree Rick, their team is solid and Bama will have to play them on the road, a little different than playing them in Coleman.

From the 2010-11 Media Guide

Most wins was 28, the 1986-7 team was 28-5.

Other interesting tidbits.


This will be the first time Alabama has played Colorado.

This is the sixth time Alabama has made the NIT Final Four.  This is the eleventh time Alabama has appeared in the NIT.  Alabama's best finish was in 2001, we were runners-up that year.

Releford will have to be on his Toes against Colorado. We are going to need those Outside Shooters. This I believe will be a tough test. RTR!
