| GAME THREAD #6 Alabama @ North Dakota St. - Nelson’s Double-Double Lifts Tide Past North Dakota, 97-90

[TerryP]

Congratulations to Nelson playing well on offense and grabbing boards. I have been critical of him and his defense all year but the young man played well last year. Defense or lack thereof has been covered so I’ll just leave it alone. On offense, so tired of driving the lane and then throwing up crap or turning the ball over. As @Brandon Van de Graaff said, 10 turnovers in the first half and 1 in the second half, head scratching.

"...but the young man played well last year" and has continued to this year.

I could not agree more.

The offense works at its best when they get the ball in the paint, then kick it out. Sure, frustrating. It's how you defend an Oats offense: leave him "in the air."

I heard Bama play the game in ND because of Nelson. I heard someone say the next time we honor Nelson we should all wear mustache.
