🏀 2021 - '22 Basketball season starts tonight. [ Alabama wins its season opener, 93-64, over La. Tech.

[TerryP]

Alabama tips off against La Tech at 8CT: SEC Network has the coverage.

Michigan State vs Kansas @7ET should be a good ball game as well as Kentucky visiting Duke (9:30 ET.)

Get your first dose of the "Coach K love season" in that last game.

The last I looked Bama was favored by 11½

Just preparing myself for a tough fight tonight and the offense going through early-season rough patches.

Will be fun to watch though if Keon, JQ, and Gary can come out and play at the level we saw last season. Especially if JQ can break down the defense in the paint and facilitate the offense to open up shots from three. That was our bread and butter last year.

They've got a pretty big guy (bulk) playing a four if I recall correctly. I wanted to see how Tchikou would do, but alas...

You think he's starting three guards tonight? Davison should be one of the first five.

Judging on how highly he's talked about JD, I think he absolutely starts.

JQ
JD
Shack
Gurley
Bediako

That would be my guess.

I'll probably end up puking by the end of the year having to hear about him every waking moment. He comes across as a good guy on TV, but I know he's just as dirty as all of them that see long term sustained success. Especially with a fan base like Duke basketball that enables the behavior. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

There aren't a lot of tickets left. It looks to be a big crowd for a season opener. Scroll over the seating sections.

I can’t remember ever watching a Bama basketball season opener before. That’s on me. But I’m stoked for this one.

That gal’s gotta go, Terry. She ruins a weekend like that, it will only get worse!

A lot more real estate available in the paint when Lofton is on the bench. Man, he’s a hoss. Pretty good size gut for a hoops player.

Should play football

Really nice opening win... Ellis was +37. Davison played really well (12 pts, 6 rebounds, 6 assists). I don't see too many lulls on the offensive end this season, even when the 3's aren't falling. Stay healthy and it'll be another fun year...

Chris Stewart did call him Hefty Lefty...

 

[alabamajack]

Great win. Looks like we are going to have a deep bench. Was nice to see us hit our free throws and play some good defense. If we can stay healthy, it should be a good year.
