Hurt wrote an article following the UGA win talking about how Johnson has moved to a lineup a little larger than the ones that have been used this season. We've talked about him finding his rotation and Cecil asks, "Has he?"

CECIL HURT: Alabama seems to have found right rotation

A few more beat writers picked up the theme ... you can find their articles/links in the usual places.

Big win in Athens the other night MUST be followed up with a win at home this evening. We just need to improve each game and show consistency during the game.

Focus and protect home court.

Focus and protect home court.

And hit some free throws. The play-by-play guy the other night said Bama was #335 or 37 out of 351 NCAA teams in FT %...Awful.

Yes. Key has done a much better job at the FT line as of late. D. Ingram needs to improve as much as he goes to the hoop.

Why is Bama not playing Kansas this evening?

 

[alabama mike]

I have been waiting to watch the Bama and Miss St. game all day. This conversation took place a little while ago. My grandson said, "Papa Mike will you watch the trains (Polar Express) with me." So... Papa Mike is watching the Polar Express hoping to be able to watch the game in a little while. The things you give up for GRANDkids.

We are 26/30 from the stripe so far tonight, with about 7:30 to go...

 

[bamabigdawg]

With the exception of that span of missing round 10 of 11 shots and MSU getting back into it good home win. If we shoot FT's like that the rest of the year we will be in really good shape

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

Finished 31/36 from the line. HUGE turnaround.

 

[TUSKtimes]

Had Kentucky beat Kansas at home the SEC would have won the challenge for the first time. I'll say it again, we should have played Kansas.

I'll have what TUSK is smoking/drinking

If you're going to shoot < 34% from both field and 3pt range, you better shoot 85+% FT line. With the offensive talent coming in next season, this team could make noise next year.

Nice win got some tough games coming up.

No reason why we can't be a much better FT shooting team.

 

[alabama mike]

Nice win tonight at home. Finally, got to watch the game, missed the first 5 minutes. We need to play the entire 40 minutes and not have lapses in offensive production.
