Game at home, we've had our struggles with Vandy in the past. Narrowly escaped Robert Morris, expecting the same here.

 

[TheChief]

Bob is good.

 

[bamaraider]

On ESPNU.

Another sub-par crowd at Coleman. Not surprised, this team isn't easy to watch at all.

 

[bamaraider]

Vandy up 14-10. Key going to the line. God this team is in dire need of an identity on offense.

 

[bamaraider]

Good thing is that they're getting Vandy in foul trouble when they're going high post. Keep attacking the basket, then open up from the 3.

 

[bamaraider]

Releford!

 

[bamaraider]

Slam dunk! Randolph!!!

 

[bamaraider]

Alright, well I'm out. No one else on here tonight.

 

[bamaraider]

Good half. Starting catch on late. Wish Randolph would have hit that WIDE OPEN 3, but nonetheless, we're up by 10.

 

[TheChief]

We could be like those two guys on "Major League" and wonder how we're going to give this one away. They look good tonight, though.

 

[bamaraider]

Engstrom looks like he is finally catching on. He's still not that inside presence we need, but he is doing a much better job at boxing out his man and getting the ball inside to set himself up for a layup or to attack. Still raw though.

Shannon Hale is going to be something special. Feel like if Grant would let him open up more, he would really light it up. Releford is a beast, 'nuff said. As is Obasohan and Randolph. Good team win, but damn, they have got to learn how to finish. No reason for them to blow an 18 point lead like they did tonight and make it a tougher game than it should have been.

nice win for the tide

 

[bamaraider]

Good to be back at .500. Next up is Georgia. Get above .500. Take it one game at a time.
