It just amazes me to see Bama winning these basketball games. CAG says he was proud of the team for their effort, I guess he's lowered his standards of good quality basketball and has come to accept whatever he sees on the court. I will say though that once the team got away from dribbling the ball around the perimeter and throwing the ball up with 2 seconds left on the shot clock, they actually scored some points.

It is frustrating to watch them play and you would think it would frustrate the players when they watch the film of the game. This is where you learn and make some changes for improvement but it's the same each game they play.

I'm not giving up on them but who knows, stranger things have happened in sports. Maybe this team is destined to find a way to the Big Dance, but it sure is ageing me much faster than what I would like as I  watch them play. Roll Tide!!

A good road win. We sit at 8-3 and in a tie for second place.

Another low scoring physical game. The refs seem to be allowing more bumping, shoving and physical play than ever. I like when the refs let the players play and not call ticky-tac fouls. But we are at a point a ball handler enters the lane at his own risk. As long as you make it appear as a play for the ball you can slap arms and bump with shoulders/hips. At least the refs were consistant last night and called it the same on both ends. Unless you have five scorers on the floor and move the ball fast like Florida does the games are going to be low scoring.

We are somehow winning in spite of our post play. We got 6 points last night, all from Jacobs. Gueye got 5 rebounds and Jacobs one. Randolph had 7. UGA out rebounded us 41-33. Gueye did have 4 blocks.

We hit some big shots down the stretch. UGA made a final push and took a one point lead with 3 minutes to play and we responded well.

We kept the UGA fans out of the game. We never let UGA get on a run after the early minutes. UGA has to be disappointed in their crowd. It only holds 9,000 and it was half full. Of course the game started at 9:00 local time.

In the SEC any road win is a good win. I think we got back on the NCAA bubble last night. We need to keep winning.

USCe visits Tuscaloosa on Saturday at 4:00.

I am 6'-4"--- If allowed to camp under the defensive basket (too old to run the floor all night) for 20 minutes, I could catch 3 or 4 guys going up flat footed and block their shots. If Jacobs got Gueye's 20 minutes he'll get 3 or 4 rebounds more without the turnovers and personal fouls. C'mon! Both players are getting used defensively but there is at least the possibility that Jacobs will score. HTH

I think this is the difference between the Tide and the elite teams.  Bama can win a defensive game against a poor shooting team like Georgia, but put Florida's players on the court and, unless Florida is having a bad day, Bama gets blown out.  The pieces are there to score points for Bama, but the consistency is lacking, and CAG hasn't been able to find a fix.  If this team had an offense, it would be among the elite teams for sure.

RPI is 60 after the UGA win last night. We still have a shot at the NCAA Tournament. We just need to keep winning.

Ole Miss lost again last night. They have lost 4 in a row. That drops them to 7-4. We are in a 2nd place tie with UK.

It is important to stay in the top 4. The bottom 4 play on Wednesday in the SEC Tournament. The Top 4 get a bye for the first two rounds and do not play until Friday.

It seems as we first thought our Basketball team was going down then they turn it around and go to winning like we expected. Does it take them this long to mesh and know each others' moves on the floor? If so, then we should be in for a special 2nd half of the season. RTR!

Yep, the SEC ranking is important, and with Bama's schedule there is no reason we shouldn't stay in the top 4.
