Way to take care of business - Roll Tide

They were pretty sluggish for the first 15 minutes, but pulled it together. Green is still out, listed as day to day. Moussa Gouye saw his first action last night, playing about 4 minutes with one rebound and one turnover. Good to see the big guy on the floor.

you can tell we have a young team. I expect they will get much better as the season progesses.

Gouye is SOOOO huge. He is not just seven feet tall. He is freaking HUGE. Trump style huge. He's got to go over 300. Another observation, and IMHO, I would guess Bama's not going to in the bottom fifth percentile shooting three's if they can keep this trend going in the right direction as well. Looks like Releford, Mitchell, and Lacey are doing the majority of the long rang bombing now.

They have him listed at 280. It's a muscular 280 for sure.

I am hoping that as he gets in playing shape he will give us that low post presence that will make teams pay for extra attention to Green. Engstrom is no skinny young man, but he does look thin besides Gouye.

I was glad to see Cooper playing well last night. Hopefully we can get his three point stroke going as well. Its got to be a big adjustment going from high school with all the offense going through you to college, where you have to find your place in the offense.
