🏀 Bama vs Wichita State

[psychojoe]

The game tips off tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. cst on the U.

It will be tough but if we can pull it off it will be a résumé builder.

Looking at the record right now, and considering the pitfalls of the SEC, do you think this is almost a must win? Or at least Xavier and UCLA if this one doesn't go the Tide's way? I think maybe two of those three, barring some type of miracle.

 

[psychojoe]

Chief, I normally would not consider a December game a must win. That being said, it is pretty close to one. This isnt last.year, where we had bad non.conference losses, but.we dont gain from the tougher schedule if we dont beat at least some of the good teams we play. Right.now our best wins are against Texas Tech and Georgia State. Nuff said.

 

[TheChief]

Bama's taking down the Shockers tonight. It's Wichita State's toughest test to date. The only other decent win on their schedule is Tennersee.

 

[psychojoe]

Hope you are right. I will be cheering them on from my den.

Too many turnovers, players aren't executing well on the full court pressure. Algie Key, Obasahon, and Randolph are looking good, but everyone else has just been "meh"

 

[bama alum]

Is part of the game plan reprated turnovers followed by allowing them easy lay ups? If so, Bama is starting out with a bang.

 

[bamaraider]

Sounds like a damn library in there. What the hell happened to Coleman?

 

[bamaraider]

Good first half. Wichita State has been in this position a million times though, big challenge for 'Bama is to keep up this intensity in the 2nd half.

 

[bama alum]

Good plan to go after the Shockers' big players and get them in foul trouble. Decent three-point shooting toward the end of the half.

Once Bama quit giving the ball away, they played pretty well.

 

[TheChief]

Back in it. Still hope. Maybe all their good players will foul out.

 

[TheChief]

I keep listening for a fat lady to say, "Shhhhhhh."

 

[bamaraider]

Well so far the full court pressure has done little-to-nothing. Shockers are doing a good job at quick passes and creating more open lanes in the paint. Still don't know why we don't go more fast break offense, every time they have done it, they have scored quickly. Maybe its the depth and fatigue, but they're much better than they are at the half court offense.

 

[bamaraider]

Back in it. Still hope. Maybe all their good players will foul out.

Yeah. They need to attack the paint more and get their players in foul trouble. Once that happens, we can start opening up from the perimeter. Florida pretty much lives and dies from this formula lol.

Exams are over and students are gone.

 

[bamabigdawg]

i just wish sometime in CAG's tenure they would learn how to get a rebound

Exams are over and students are gone.

What's the enrollment at 'Bama? 33,000+? You're telling me everyone of those students left Tuscaloosa? The student section is not even that big at Coleman.
