🏀 Fiutak: Alabama vs Iona Prediction, Game Preview: NCAA Tournament First Round

[252BAMA]

What’s Going To Happen
This is a bad, bad fit for Iona.

Granted, it’s a 15 seed so anyone in this thing would pose problems for the Gaels, but Alabama is going to start taking threes from the start and will keep taking them. Iona doesn’t have the ability to bomb its way back into the game once the Tide get going.

It’ll take a few minutes – it’ll be tight for the first 10 minutes – and then the avalanche will come.

I hope you are right in terms of winning but wrong in terms of the margin.

I continue my plan of not watching Bama play. Matter of fact I don't hit this site until 2 hours and 10 minutes after the tip so I can learn the score since I am bad luck. This past Saturday Mrs Wales and I stepped into the Margarita Grill on 119 in Pelham for lunch and the Bama vs 10RC was right before us. I didn't ask the manager to turn it off but we arrived with Bama down midway of the 1st half. We ate those fajitas and were gone just after the start of the 2nd half. Good that we left so the comeback could start.

I think folks keep forgetting about 'Bama's defense. I thought it was EPIC how the defense got the final say in the win against LSU in the SEC tournament. It seems to me Oats has got this team believing in the defense mentality. Frankly, I think the only thing that will allow most teams to compete with us is if the refs are appalled at defense & call a game like they did with us against Arkansas last time. If we don't get that, I really like our chances because most teams don't have the mental toughness to play a solid defensive team.

Bama by less than 10

If they can't beat Iona by double digits, then they are gonna get slayed in round 2

Michael Wilbon on PTI stated yesterday that Iona was going to upset Bama. That guy has some serious butthurt about Bama...Little 10 homer.

 

[MunchyOs]

I just don't think Iona has the horses to pull this off

tight officiating can really neutralize tight D....u are right...

and ,".Dont have mental-toughness to play a solid D team" for entire 40 minutes..
Lsu was good example... late in game you could see it...in the free throw shooting
....this team is in good shape...play well as a team...
.....If they just can finish at the basket.....

I hope our team paid close attention to the Ohio State/Oral Roberts (#2/#15) game. All of the teams in tourney are dangerous if you bring your ‘C’ game. (Sometimes even B- was cut it)

Tennessee really made the SEC look good today by bringing their F game. They play Bama to the wire in the SEC Tournament then bomb on the national stage. Reminiscent of the tiggers that stroll the cow pastures.

Brother......it could be jacks or tiddlywinks everyone hangs a big chunk of heart and soul into beating THE CRIMSON TDE.

Game time baby!

 

[bama alum]

Reclaimed the lead...Keep it this way, guys!

 

[bama alum]

Shackleford was fouled taking that layup. Should be 18-11...

 

[bama alum]

Hack a Bama player seems to be a working strategy...
