Alabama vs North Florida *Alabama wins 76-48

Alabama host North Florida December 4th looking to get above .500. Alabama has a slight advantage, averaging 78 PPG and only allowing 71 PPG compared to North Florida who is scoring 74 PPG and allowing 74 PPG.

Travis Wallace, a 6-6 forward, is their leading scorer and rebounder with 17 PPG and 7 RBPG.

As is stands right now, neither are good 3 point shooting teams. With North Florida having a big advantage at shooting 38% from outside the arc compared to Alabama's 29%. Good god oh mighty.

Alabama can have a big advantage defensively, as North Florida only averages 5 SPG and averages around 16 TPG.

Look for Shannon Hale to get more minutes. After the game against Drexel, Grant will probably look to him to get more gametime experience so he can make those shots further down in the season.

Maybe if someone other than Rodney Cooper knew how to pass the ball inside to Nick Jacobs we could get alot better looks all game long. After watching the Drexel game it seems like CAG has told Cooper and only Cooper to feed NJ. Everyone else just try and find something besides Releford since hes the only one right now that can create his own shot

Jacobs must learn to turn to the right and be productive, otherwise he will never be effective against good teams. Releford needs to be able to shoot the three off the dribble or at least quickly from a mediocre screen. Key must be get opportunities and score. There's my two cents. This team can be good. Go Tide and Anthony Grant!!!!

We are still trying to figure out the new rules on hand checks and charges, are the officials. We really need
For Hale to start providing some offense.

Ah, there you are.

Good to be back.computer issues plus getting used to retirement. Tide is taking care of business tonight, up by 21 early in the second half. Taylor in double figures.

Great win last night for the team. Jimmy Taylor seemed be doing well inside. Team was doing well when they went to a half-court offense.

I swear to god though, if Obasahan misses one more free throw, I'm going to scream.

Taylor seems to be a really good upgrade from Pollard.

 

[bamaraider]

Except Pollard was a small forward I believe. Taylor is a power forward. But yes, rebouding wise and his ability to score in the low post. Also, Shannon Hale hit some shots from the perimeter. I'll get the stats later, but the signing class has really come together and had a productive year so far. Algie Key especially.

 

[psychojoe]

Levi had a career game. He seems to be well from that knee injury now. That is very big for us.

 

[TheChief]

With no hand in their face, the Bama players shoot much better from the outside. Lots of potential this year.

 

[bamaraider]

Well the problem with that though is they're not getting the open shots. The passing is not as good as you would want it and still too many careless turnovers.
