Johnson's first two teams were much better than the individual players, hopefully he can manage a team of great to elite talents to do something special.
Thanks for the live report.
CAJ said post-game that he recruited Sexton, Petty and Co. because of their "confidence." (Honestly, he seemed reluctant to single them out, but was pressed by the press.) He thought they could do just as well at home or away because of it.
On this game, CAJ said that it took the players a while to figure out that Lipscomb is a good team.
CAJ has experience coaching NBA players with big egos. If anyone can get these kids to gel, he can.
Lipscomb is a good team. They beat Mizzou and Florida Gulf Coast last year, might be a tournament team this year. Garrison Mathews, their preseason All-Atlantic Sun Team guard, scored 25 points against Morehead State, 37 points against Emory, but only 15 points against Alabama.
The Good: Bama wins 86-64
Sexton 22 points, 5 assists
Petty 14 points, 6 rebounds
Hall 10 points, 5 rebounds
The Bad:MD should be doing this.
The Ugly:Bama outrebounded 47-40 despite size advantage
