Alabama 33-14 over Vandy. I'm in semi-state off shock or coming off a bad LSD trip.

Ingram playing like man possessed. He has 10 points, Lewis 8, Mack 6, & Norris 6. I have not seen this kind of energy, rebounding, and overall hustle from Tide in a long time. 35-18 Tide, still in first half. Tide 6/14 3 pointers and 48% FG shooting.

This may sound crazy, if we win 3 of 4 of the last 4 regular season games, and win 1 in SEC Tourney, I think we make the Big Dance.

Glad Bama won but against Vanderbilt it isn't impressive.  Someone wake me when we have a basketball program... (https://bullgatorslounge.com/images/smilies/tired.gif)

Ok, but Rip Van Winkle won't have anything on you.

I just got to watch the game and Bama did play with more energy.  What I noticed most was the shortened bench used by AJ, no AJJ, Reese, or Smith.  Norris got more playing time than Mack.  The starting lineup was different also.  I know Petty didn't score, but he contributed with 3 assist and 6 rebounds, 5 of which were defensive.  He also didn't take bad shots, he just didn't make any.  A couple of turnover, which  I don't know who got credit for them, were on passes that weren't handled by the other player.  That being said they were leading by 20 with 9:28 to play and they only shot 57% from the free throw line.  When Vandy was making their run, Bama missed some good opportunities to score, but just didn't convert.

I like the use of a shorter bench. Most good teams only use 8-9 players. We play so many people some games they never get in a rhythm. Last night we only used 8 players.

I have wondered why Giddens is playing over Smith. To my knowledge Smith has not played since he suffered a concussion several weeks ago. He was dressed last night but did not play. He is a much better player than Giddens IMO, especially on the offensive end.

I don't know the answer to that?  Is Giddens a more physical player?  Looking at the average pts per game, not a whole lot of difference.

Giddens is big but slow & awkward as an ox. He has boards for hands. He mishandles so many passes it's frustrating. He has to be developed much more.

I believe Smith and Reese are hurt.
