Bama did what they needed to do tonight, beat Texas A&M in a convincing manor. The Aggies came in tonight with a 9-3 record and a good overall team national rating which meant Bama had something to gain with the convincing win.

The game started at a slow pace and stayed that way for most of the first half and as usual, Bama didn't play well with the slow pace of the game. The second half was a whole different story again for Bama as they kicked their energy level in gear and picked up the tempo of the game and it was all over for the Aggies. This team is learning about themselves and what the tempo of the game means to them and now you can add another weapon into the fast tempo factor, Retin Obasohan. Having been crippled all season from an off season ankle surgery, he is now playing at full speed and what a difference he can make for this team. Bama again spread the offense and defense results around as to the stats and this is just what CAG is looking for, a team chemistry that involves all of the players and not just a couple of them.

I am very impressed with the improvement of the team since the start of the season as they seem to improve with each game and tonight they improved on what I had complained about the last two games, shooting free throws. I hope they will keep working on that aspect of their game because it may win them some of those close games down the road.

Now it's time to hit the road for a game and that makes all of us fans a little nervous. They will play Tennessee up there and if Bama can steal a win there, this could do wonders for them as far as winning some games on the road this year. It won't be easy as usual but I like their chances Saturday. Kentucky follows the Tennessee game at Coleman and beating Tennessee could possible be a big game changer for the Tide against the Wildcats. Bama will need anything they can get, momentum wise, if they are to beat Kentucky. We all know about ifs and buts and the win tonight has gotten me all pumped for a big road win and hopefully that will happen

Excellent review and comments, Jamos.

65-44 Tide  FINAL

This was a must win game for BAMA.

BAMA won b/c of defense, good free throw shooting, and by causing turnovers.

Ta&m is a horrible team.  They will most likely finish last in the SEC this year.

Disagree. A&M had a smilar RPI as Bama and what killed them in this game was their 2 leading scorers did not play. Their combined scoring was 25 points a game. Imagine the Tide without Levi & Tarrant.

A&M was only missing one player. Their leading scorer, Jalen Jones (13 pts/gm), was out with an ankle injury. Their second leading scorer (House 12/gm) sat out most of the first half in foul trouble but he played 21 minutes.

Even after last nights loss A&M has an RPI of 55 which is 6th best in the SEC. I do not think they will finish that high but it is still a quality win for Bama.

I thought House left the game hurt early in the 1st half.

I watched most of the 2nd half in a bar meeting. I was truly impressed how well the team played. Probably their best total effort of the year. I came straight up off of my bar stool meeting room chair when Tarrant busted one off the backboard on a fast break that Levi came from behind to slam dunk. Good stuff!

House got two fouls in the early minutes of the game and sat the rest of the first half. He played 21 minutes and scored 5 points. He hit one three pointer and was 1-9 from the floor.

There is no doubt A&M missed Jalen Jones. However, Bama played very well in the second half and won this game easily.

All this is good to hear. I am glad they seem to have come together, so as we go forward then we will know exactly what we will do in the big dance! RTR!
