🏀 Jerry Palm has us a 9 seed

[psychojoe]

after last night's win at Arkansas.http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology If we ran the table we might get as high as a 7. I'd love to see us get there, as 8 and nine seeds run up against somebody really good in round two, Duke in this version.

After the issues that this bunch has had, I'll be happy for us to get into the Dance!!

I'd like to see us play Duke—NOT in Greensboro though.

 

[doemasters]

just need to keep winning and playing like they did last night, any word on Trevor Lacy and his ankle injury

 

[psychojoe]

Doe, nothing so far. Expecting an update on that and Green's status later today.

Per Chris Walsh on BOL http://alabama.247sports.com/Board/116/Green-to-be-available-for-Saturdays-game--8006801 Green to play, Lacey doubtful. Good news that MRI doesn't show damage other than an ankle sprain.

 

[TerryP]

If we had the luxury of Mississippi State and played Tues or Weds would could expect Trevor to be back. Maybe a little slower, but still able to contribute.

If Green has his head back on straight, I feel good about our chances of beating State even without Lacey. And since Grant is letting him play, I'm going to assume Green's head is back in the right place.

Right on. Green is a decent matchup with Moultrie. Moultrie would eat up Jacobs, Engstrom or Gouye on quickness. Cooper would spot him four inches. Our wide bodies can deal with Sidney.

 

[TerryP]

Knowing Chris, he worded his post just like Grant put it; available.

To me that means Jacobs starts. I think we'll see Green play, my question is when.

 

[psychojoe]

My guess is Jacobs and Gouye starting to match their size. If Moultrie gets it going early I think we will see Green early.

This team has been tough to watch at times this season obviously, struggles on offense have been evident. I'm a little surprised how they've responded to Grant's shakeups and was proud of the Arkansas win. That really was a season saver at this point, and tomorrows game against MSU will be pretty big. Getting Green back will be nice but likely missing Lacey will hurt, I don't see us being that hot behind the arc again apparently. I really felt like Lacey was about to go off on Arky before he rolled his ankle too.

To venture off-topic on the program, watching all this young talent step up has really been exciting to think about the next couple seasons. We still need an inside presence once Green is gone, and I'm confident Cooper, Lacey, Releford and Hankerson will pick up on the 3 point arc(maybe a pure shooter needed). I say all of this after being nearly completely done with this team, so Grant has me up and down this season. :lol:

I've been steadily encouraged with Grant. The upper classman leadership, not so much.

Agreed. Thw two most prominent uppercclassmen have demonstrated a lack of maturity. Of the other two, Eblen as a back up can only lead by example. Steele had his uh oh moment, but he ends up being the leader IMO.

WOW.....this is exactly how I feel. At times on offense they are like a car accident you drive by...it can be ugly but you just have to look. I thought the Arkansas game was our best of the year and if Green can add a litlle of a post presence on offense things could get interestiing.
