Alabama versus Drexel in BB Today/Game in Progress

[Marshal Dillon]

The Tide plays Drexel at 2:30 pm on ESPN 2. This will be an interesting match-up for the Tide. In 2011 Drexel went 29-6, but last year they went 13-18 after losing most of their team from the previous year. So far, they are 3-2 with losses of 72-67 to UCLA and a 66-62 loss to Arizona. Arizona is a VERY god team.

Drexel backcourt has 3 guards who can score:

Massanat  6'4"  13.1 pts
Fouch  6'2"  19.6
Lee    6'6'    13.0

Inside players:

Abif  6'7"   210#  7.0 pts  8.8 rebounds
Ruffin 6'8" 250#   3.2       8.0

6th man:

Allen 6'7" 190# 11.8 pts.


They are VERY undersized under the basket and we need to take advantage of that with Jacobs, Taylor, Engstrom, Hale, & Randolph.

We need to play with the win mentality. We have got to think we can win some games and get down to sound BB. RTR!

[Marshal Dillon]

I'm going to be interested to see what kind of game Jacobs, Taylor, Cooper, & Randolph will have in this game around the basket, both scoring & rebounding. I think Jacobs could have a huge game if he's not in foul trouble, & possibly Cooper.

I'm thinking that's a wasted scholarship. 

[Marshal Dillon]

Well, the Tide has started slow. Poor rebounding. Drexel 5-2, timeout with 15:56 left in first half. Jacob just fouled someone.


 

[Marshal Dillon]

Here we go again, missing FT's. Drexel 10-5. Randolph fouled but misses FT. 10-6 Drexel.

Iowa crushes Nebraska 38-17. I think Bo Pelini is toast. The big question is, who will hire this wild man?

[Marshal Dillon]

When we drive to the basket we score, but instead of using our significant size advantage, we are firing up 3's & missing.


 

[Marshal Dillon]

Drexel 17 Tide 14 Drexel starting to get in foul trouble when Tide drives to basket. Allen key player just got 3 rd foul. Massenet, a key guard has 2.

They were talking about that during the game.  Apparently it will cost Nebraska $7.6 million to fire Pelini, so they thought he would be around another year.

[Marshal Dillon]

Drexel has very little depth, so they are playing guys in foul trouble. We have to take advantage of our size  We are 5/17 shooting. Massenet has 3 fouls, Allen 3, & Ruffin 2. Drexel 21 Tide 16. Jacobs turns ball over.

Whoa, that's a lot of money. Who's the fool that gave him such a contract with so little to show for his tenure?

Arkansas beating LSU 17-14 @ halftime   

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide 0/4 in 3's. We can not buy a shot, but Drexel is hitting their shots. Drexel 26 Tide 18. Have 3:00 left in half and we have 18 points. Let's throw up some 3's!!

Transformer blew, lost power for a few seconds.  Now my satellite is reloading.   


All I can say is this better not happen tomorrow.   



I remember a few years ago, there was a tornado watch during the Iron Bowl, and the local Huntsville network switched off the Iron Bowl so the weather man could stand in front of their radar and point to all the potential formations, where it was raining,etc.  Apparently, hundreds of people stormed the studio.

[Marshal Dillon]

Drexel 31 Tide 21 and we STINK!! Bobby Knight was telling the Tide player with the ball how to handle the zone and the player would do the exact opposite. Have they not been coached on dealing with a 2-3 zone?
I think we are 0/5 on 3's and we were getting out rebounded by a 6'7" Drexel player late in the half. Sad, sad play and especially coaching by Alabama.
