It was a big win for the team tonight and I'm still confident in what I have seen so far from them. The real test is in front of them now as they go on the road next week but I like this team and I'm anxious to see how they perform away from home. Roll Tide!!

I like what I see, too, J. This team continues to play with a lot of energy and we have some real shot makers. It will, indeed, be interesting to see how they play on the road.

Road games in bb are always a tough win.  Only the best teams can win consistently on another court. 

Why?  The backboards are somewhat standard now, but the backdrops differ dramatically, the spring of the rim varies widely, and the floors are radically different.  Add in the (stupid) Vandy setup for bb, and you've got a terrible disadvantage for visitors.

No crime to lose on the road in bb, but you need to win half of those to compete for post-season play in the SEC.

I actually like the way Vanderbilt has their BB court set up...

I agree with you. Right now, I'm curious as to how we'll play on a neutral court against good competition in the upcoming tourney.

I thought we played well last night. We scored 80 points for the third time in three games. After struggling to score the last few years that is good to see. We have more scorers on this team than any CAG team. The new players Norris, Kessens, Tarrant and Coleman have all showed they can score. We already knew Randolph, Hale and Cooper are scorers. Taylor is a good defensive post player and his offense is starting to improve. We need 10 points out of him against quality opponents.

Rebounding looked much better. We out rebounded the smaller SM team 36-22.

All in all this was a good win for Bama before we head into the heavy part of of non-conference schedule. Before you get too carried away over this win keep in mind SM lost 5 starters from last years team and has a new coach.

I was in B'ham today on business and met my daughter for lunch. At the restaurant I noticed Asst. Coach Antony Pettway. He was by himself and looking at his smart phone. To make 100% it was him I simply said "Coach". He looked up and I said that was a good win last night. He smiled and said thanks. I introduced myself and we talked for a minute or so. He is a very nice young man. I said Levi is  off to a good start and he said Levi is taking the role of Captain of the team very serious. He said he has always been a hard worker but he is in the best shape and working harder than ever. I mention all the new talent and he said the team chemistry is very good and the deep bench gives them options they have not had in the past. I asked about Tarrant and he said they watched him practice all last year and knew he would be a good player. My favorite comment was when I asked about Coleman the small framed PG many are comparing To Pettway. I asked if Coleman was going to be as good as he was. He laughed and said Coleman was a lot better than he was. It was short but I enjoyed my conversation with him very much.

  E-cred to you pmull. Good stuff. I'll never forget a Pettway led Bama team going into Rupp Arena and taking one from Kentucky. That seems forever ago.

Good stuff!  I put it on the front page with all your other basketball posts.

I would love to see us play a BB game. I remember one time back in 64 I think it was we came to T-town and played in the state playoffs and we won 4th place. Frisco City we beat but Hackneyville beat us pretty soundly. RTR!
