Alabama v. Arkansas 6 pm tonight ESPN2

[pmull]

Great road win. Our guys played hard for 40 minutes. We got points from everyone. The key to the game IMO was not giving up when we were down by 12 or 13 early in the 1st half. We fought back and took a 4 point lead to halftime.

We have Miss satate Saturday. Their big guys will give us some trouble but don't count this Alabama count out. They are playing hard and finding ways to win. Our tournament hopes just improved greatly.

Jamos is right, they picked right up where they left off with UT. Their "D" is tenacious and Releford is a ball hawk who is maturing rapidly. I don't know how many steals they had, bit they flat out intimidated Arkansas after they fell behind in the 1st half. MSU's height may be an issue, but if Bama continues to play defense like they have in the past 2 games and shoot like they did in this one, it should be another win and another step forward to the dance.

Thanks, CP for the expert commentating. 

Can't let basketball get in the way of grandkids!

Last night we saw what was left of a crumbling, defeated Arkansas team. This could have been Bama this season (also last season).  The difference has to be better athletes (due to CAG) and CAG as a motivator. Multiple players with 10-15 points is what I've been hoping to see all season. Of course I had figured JG or TM to be included. There is no reason not to win out. RTR

   Not a win many people expected.   Keep up the momentum!

CAG is building a strong foundation for his program and he has proven that it can withstand some very tough challenges, especially the internal ones. The success that the team has had recently will do wonders for the team as they recruit players in the near future, as well as building a huge bond between the players that are already there. Early playing time is something that most of the athletes coming out of high school are looking for and Bama is a prime example of that. Roll Tide!!

Early playing time might only sell for another year or so, which your "in the near future" says.  Bama has so many talented freshmen, and a few sophs, getting early playing time right now that these guys are going to be really good in another year or two, good enough to make a deep run in the Tournament, and the bench will get deeper.  CAG recruited a great class, and we are just starting to see what they can do.

Our RPI improved to 29 with a 15 SOS. Miss state is 60 with a SOS of 67. Ole Miss is 71. Wins over those two and over a bad barn team will have us in the low 20's or teen's depending on what other teams do. If we continue to play like we have the last two games we could win out which would give us a 21-9 record and very good RPI heading to the SEC tournament.

I never quit pulling for them but I thought this team was done two weeks ago. Boy am I glad I was wrong.

Ditto    I even went so far as to suggest CAG knew we were done. Also made fun of his bow tie in the middle of "Black History Month".  

Anyway, RTR!
