Alabama vs Dayton in Basketball in ESPN Tip-Off Marathon

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide loses 80-48. Watch for Dayton, they will be in the mix this year.

Wow, from what I watched we have a whole to work on. I know Dayton is good, but we were very bad. It will take some time and we will get better. This is not the year though. RTR!

[Chechem]

Hmmm, not good.

Has anyone pointed out our weaknesses yet?  I'll wait...

I always want to see Bama win, regardless of what sport they are competing in. Today was no different but knowing what we all know about the basketball team this year, I came away from this game with some hope of a decent season.

Dayton is by no means a team that a first year team wants to pick on especially it being their first game and on their home court. But if you have a new team and would like to give them a first hand look at what the season will look like, schedule a game with Dayton on their home court.

I thought they played decent the first 15 minutes of the first half, they were in reach of the lead, then everything seemed to go bad for the team all the way to the half. The second half was more of the last 5 minutes of the first half. If there is one aspect of their game that is a must to improve, it is their shooting. I know these kids are better shooters than what they showed today and again, they were playing a very good team that was way out of their league at this point in time.

At least they have a game film from today that should help them get better which I think is a very good thing. It's pretty hard to tell the players how bad they played but when you can show them and explain to them as they watch the film how they should have done some things, it's a great learning tool for the team.

Any way, that game is over and I'm looking forward to their next one.

Had to run errands so I haven't had time to list some things, will do a list of good & bad in just a little bit.

Improve their shooting and the rest will come.

It really looked to me their legs got tired because they could not get off the floor to shoot the ball. Our BB coach always run us to get our legs in game condition. This is why I notice these type of things. RTR!

The team looked the same way in  the second half of their game last Friday night. Their legs looked like spaghetti and they played pretty bad. You are dead on about how our coaches used to run us. We didn't have a very good team when I played basketball in high school but I can promise you one thing we were good at, we were in good shape. We were a small school and some of us were 3 sport athletes and football was the primary sport. I think the coach made us play basketball just to keep us in good shape for football.

Gosh, our situation was the same. I played FB, BB, and ran track. The Mile and 880 relay was my 2 specialties. RTR!

One thing I saw was...we shot the ball right into the defenders hand a lot but I think we can work on that.

[Marshal Dillon]

As I said earlier, keep your eye on Dayton throughout the year. I saw them play in the Puerto Rico Tip-off last year & was hugely impresses & thought they were an Sweet 16/Elite 8 team. They made it to the 3rd round of the Tourney. Hard to have a lot of positives in a blow out but here goes.


THE GOOD


Six players played 20 or more minutes & 4 others played between 14-19 minutes. CAJ was working different combinations to see if they worked well together.

Donta Hall, freshman had 7 pts & 6 rebounds

Norris had 9 pts & 3 rebounds-Kessens had 7 pts & 4 rebounds in a combined 38 minutes


THE BAD


Coleman seemed to play out-of-control. In 19 minutes we was 1/5 shooting with 3 pts & had 3 turnovers

FG% 29.8

FT 25%

Obasohan was 2/10 shooting


THE UGLY


80-48 Final Score

Rebounds: Dayton 47  Tide 34

FT 52.9%

So, we have plenty of room for improvement and can't blame the special teams?

[bamaphil]

It's disappointing to see the team lose so badly, but it helps the team and fans understand where we are.  I fully expect to see the team improve as the year goes along.  Conditioning will come with time.  The previous coaching staff never improved the shooting, let's hope the new staff can.

Bingo. The next good challenge is Xavier on November 26th in Orlando.

Wrong sport.
