Tide 15-5 & USC is 5-7 on the year. I don’t like seeing Jones playing, he needs to rest his back. 4-2 USC.

CRAP! Juwan Gary hurt by thuggish USC player and no foul called. Gary has shoulder injury. We have started off lethargic again and can’t even get a shot off. 9-2 USC. We look bad and USC looks determined. 3 by Primo, 11-5 USC. USC hits second 3 even though they are not a 3 point shooting team, 14-5 USC. Ugly right now.

16-7 USC, still waiting for the fast moving 3 point shooting Bama to show up. Ellis hits a 3, 16-12 USC. Primo hits a 3, 16-15 USC. Defense looking lousy goose right now. USC is swarming the ball. That’s how Oklahoma & Missouri played Alabama & won.

Tide 41% FG shooting, USC 52%. Tide looking better on both ends, offense & defense.

Need to keep playing a hustling defense, hitting 3’s, and defend the paint better.

Tide still not smooth but the USC defense is good. We need a flurry of 3’s to get USC on their heels.

68-64 Tide with 7:50 left in game. Refs have gotten whistle-happy.

I can't figure what is going on with the players or the coaches.  Seems to me that coaches need to do a much better job getting the team ready to go from the opening tip-off.  Team keeps starting slow and having to dig out of big deficits.

But the players have a role in this too and they have to get their heads ready to go.  They should be ready for the kind of defense every team is throwing at them.  Be ready for it.  Have a plan.

Also wonder if the team is not mentally ready to play games' that matter' at this point in the season.  In the recent past, this has been when it started to fall apart, and it didn't matter so much.  But this season there is much more on the line in every game being played, and that creates a new kind of pressure that maybe our guys are having to learn how to handle.  If so, I hope they learn soon!

But a win is a win is a win.

Hard to figure, but this looks like a mentally tired team.  Plus there are injuries. 
They need a break for R&R, but not likely to get one.

Glad we are winning but we need to really get prepared for the Big Dance so we can see a sweet sixteen or Elite 8. RTR!

I would add that our guys looked like they were playing basketball while USC looked like they were playing football.  They got away with a lot of blocking and tackling.

SEC refs have always been against Alabama in any sport. RTR!

Remember when I suggested that the players get a little rest during the OU game?  I think the mental and physical stress may be getting tough on them.  It is something they haven't had to deal with the last few years.  It is a learning process.  Also, is it just me or did it look like SC spends more time in the weight room than Bama does?

I noticed that in other games. I think Alabama wants its players to be lean & quick for a fast pace instead of bulked up & maybe be a bit slower.
