Title: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: Chechem on December 01, 2011, 06:52:08 AM Quote TUSCALOOSA — As long as there’s a Thompson on the bench, big, physical and Georgetown remain synonymous. Add young to that list this year. John Thompson III will bring 10 freshmen and sophomores to Coleman Coliseum against No. 12 Alabama. As part of the Big East/SEC Challenge, buzz surrounding a rare visit from the Hoyas had the game close to a sellout Wednesday evening. The full house will see an unranked Georgetown (5-1) team that’s taken down big-name competition already this season. It’s only loss came to No. 14 Kansas in the Maui Invitational where the Hoyas upset then-No. 8 Memphis, 91-88 in overtime two days later. Alabama carries a spotless 7-0 record through the early season, but it hasn’t seen a roster like Georgetown’s that features just two players shorter than 6-foot-5. “We’re going to do what we do,” Alabama coach Anthony Grant said. “They’re a very dangerous offensive team and they’ve got a lot of different weapons from the perimeter. In the post, they have great size at each position.” http://annistonstar.com/bookmark/16611417?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AnnistonStar%2FTideSports+%28Anniston+Star+Tide+Sports%29 Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: pmull on December 01, 2011, 08:48:05 AM Good game tonight, I am looking forward to it. It should be a sold out game.

Probably because they are a very young team, freshmen and sophs, and didn't get much preseason hype. But they should be ranked by now, you would think.Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: JodyBaker22 on December 01, 2011, 10:05:10 AM This should be a great game to watch, tonight.

Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: BAMAWV on December 01, 2011, 03:35:53 PM Those big boys will have their hands on hips by mid-way 2nd half. Hopefully those hands will be on Hoya hips. Bama cannot get down early or have 7 minute "droughts". They bring a big man's game to Tuscaloosa, but we should challenge every dribble, every pass and shot. Force them out of their game and then we'll see if the Tide can shoot well enough to win.
Green can handle himself well enough underneath. But we need some shooting to open things up, offensively. I hope TM and JG are full speed. One of the two will need a big night and here is hoping they BOTH catch fire. There is no rule against it. TM opens things with a couple of 3s, JG finds the target on a couple of 6 footers, and Releford starts driving the lane. :popcorn2: Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on December 01, 2011, 03:38:58 PM Quote AlabamaMBB Alabama M Basketball Alabama vs. Georgetown Sold Out - All remaining tickets for tonight's No. 12 Alabama versus Georgetown men's basketb... http://ow.ly/1fWn1q 8 minutes ago Favorite Undo Retweet Reply Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: 2Stater on December 01, 2011, 03:44:44 PM If JG can stay out of foul trouble and Mitchell isn't hobbled I'll go with 65-58 Bama.
Title: Re: "Alabama to host Georgetown" PREVIEW Post by: pmull on December 01, 2011, 04:07:04 PM Alabama is No. 4 in RPI with a SOS of 21. Georgetown is 140 in RPI with a SOS of 254. I know Georgetown has played some cupcakes but a close loss to Kansas and a win over Memphis should have their RPI and SOS in better shape than it is.
