Alabama vs Dayton in Basketball in ESPN Tip-Off Marathon

[Catch Prothro]

The announcers were pretty impressed at Ingram at PG.  He made some great dishes, but our players couldn't make the shot.  Main weakness of this team is shooting.  I think that is something either a player has or he doesn't.  Unfortunately, the cupboard was left pretty bare of shooters.  It appears CAJ is working to remedy that, but it will take at least another year to get his players into the team.

Yep, the program is a work in progress. CAJ has to get his own players to fit his system. We have to look for incremental progress during the season & beyond. After 6 years of the same slow, grinding, over-dribbling offense it takes time to change course.

18-18 all. Tide is hustling, hitting 3's, rebounding, fighting under the boards, and full of energy. What's wrong with these guys? Have they forgotten everything they learned from years past? Where's the dribble offense, last second shots while off balance or 30 feet away?




       

It was all downhill from this point. 

But, I like what Coach Avery is doing with these guys and I can't wait to see where we are at the end of the year and in the years to come after he has a few more recruiting classes on campus.

Also, insert my standard speech about crappy basketball officiating here.  I don't suggest that one team had an advantage over the other, it was horrible all the way around.  There is way to much "opinion" associated with basketball officiating.

Also, one more stat to throw out there.  I think we were about 33% shooting on slam dunks.

The thing I always look for in a new coach, whether football or BB is progress/improvement over time. This can be during the season and in years, especially the first 3. Does the team look organized, is there energy on the team, how's our defense doing, does the coach look involved on the sidelines, are we competitive, etc? If some of these things are missing, then there are problems.

There's one thing for sure, they didn't have to wait very long for a good butt whipping.

Nope not long t all, they got a real welcome to reality. I still haven't forgotten that 40 or 50 point beat down from Auburn when Gottfried was in a similar situation.
