Will he play tonight?

No. He's a medical 'shirt this season.

 

[TerryP]

Will he play tonight?

For what it is worth, a week, maybe 10 days ago I heard he'd been burnt. It was one of those "rumors" floating around that I really didn't follow; just noted it in the 'files,' ya know?

By the article and the injuries, it appears that the rumor was correct.

 

[TerryP]

Cool to see JQ get some time with the team…

Analytics give the Tide a 65% chance of winning and Vegas has Bama -4'. BYU is 11-1 in the last 12 games only losing to Houston.

11-1 last 12, they are hot at the right time. Don't know if anyone else was this hot during last part of season. Typically translates into a "big run" in the tournament.

They look loke have regained some energy

May just be quality of opponent
Dont know anything about byu. But it would surprise me if they were fla/au/missouri/AnM/tenn
Quality

Including Duke or Arizona.

Hard to believe we missed out on this feeling so much over the years between Wimp and Nate. With UA’s basketball history, it shouldn’t have taken auburn making moves to force Bama’s hand in investing into the program. Some of that was due to the apathy of the fans too, IMO. But I’m thankful that UA is now in a spot where these types of seasons are closer to the expectation than they are a stars aligning type situation. Let’s keep it going.

I feel better Barkley just picked BYU to win.

 

[bamanc50]

Well what does everybody think? We play like world beaters or do we let BYU look like national champions?

 

[alabama mike]

BYU will shoot a lot of 3’s and run just like we do. The difference, IMO, will be the play of the big guys inside. If we get can keep BYU off the glass, getting second chance shots and get some paint points from our bigs we win.

 

[alabama mike]

Hectic pace so far.

 

[alabama mike]

Stevenson!

 

[PurlJam]

Remember what I told you. Stuffing cocaine up your ass in a rubber isn't a good idea.

Only if the rubber doesn't have a slow leak.

 

[PurlJam]

May as well bitch about the defense or lack thereof this whole game cause it aint happenin'.

 

[PurlJam]

This finale is gonna be an NBA score.

Defense? You talking defense?

Youngblood?

 

[bamanc50]

Getting out rebounded early.

Stevenson sucks so bad. If you touch him he falls down.

 

[alabama mike]

If Stevenson stays another year with us, he MUST get stronger.

Shooting 50% from 3 is savings our ass for now.
