It's a Roundtable discussion with several folks. Interesting observations. Read both links.
PART I1. Last season, despite all expectations, the Tide were on the cusp of an NCAA bid for most of the season. Then, Alabama faded down the stretch. There were few bad losses that cost it a chance at the Dance, and then the Tide were whipped by Creighton in the opening round of the NIT. Which was the real Alabama team? Was Alabama playing over its head all year or did the Tide underperform to end the season?
BT: I think Alabama was playing over it’s head during that stretch. Let’s face it, there was not much talent on that team. However, that stretch of great play was an indication of a REAL Avery Johnson team. While the team, however talented, was playing with confidence, we got to see just what Avery Johnson can do. The sputtering end to the season was more a reflection of where the team really should have been.

CB: Here I go with (Corban) Collins again but he had a 2.5 assist to turnover ratio last season at Morehead State. We never got to see a full season of Ingram but I have to think he will be an improvement. Avery Jr. is a coach's kid. You know he is going to be disciplined.
PS: Absolutely. For one, it's nearly impossible to get any worse. This team should move the ball much better in transition than last year's group did, and as noted above, the additions of Collins and Avery Jr. should go a long way in this regard. Also, Alabama shouldn't have to play two bigs at the same time as much as they did last season, which should make it much easier to flow on offense. But this is definitely something to keep an eye on, as the Tide must improve in this area if they want to contend for an NCAA Tournament spot.
