Bama needs to stay focused and come to play vs Southern Miss tonight. Coming off of two good wins, this is is a big test for coach Avery to have the team's mindset right and focused on the road. Despite being without a win, Souther Miss could potentially present a problem at home if the team isn't ready.

Hale has scored 18 or more points in 3 of the last 4 games. Need him to continue his success on the road.

Hale was a great shooter in high school, but he has been streaky as a college player. Time for him, as an upper classman, to step up and be consistent. It should really help him that CAJ wants him to take his shots when he is open, regardless of shot clock status.

Damn, two misses already from Obasahan and Hale. Gotta hit that baseline shot Retin

 

[Bammerboy321]

Ingram!

 

[Bammerboy321]

So far, Bama just playing zone and making Southern Miss shoot from the 3. Bama getting a lot of open looks

Edwards called for a technical.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Bama doing good so far from beyond the arc. Great ball movement. Idk what Edwards did, but I bet Avery isn't sitting well with it.

Norris checks in

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good, offensive foul

 

[Bammerboy321]

Taylor needs to handle that ball better

 

[Bammerboy321]

Retin doing work so far. Good baseline shots, nice transition defense, drives to the basket, etc..

Defense defending the paint well.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Coleman's shot selection is terrible

CAJ may not have a lot of 'name' talent this year but they are fun to watch. I love the tempo that is being played instead of hold the ball and take a bad shot with 2-3 seconds left on the shot clock.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Team finally waking up here. Defense switched from 3-2 zone to man and it's giving USM fits. Need to keep it up offensively. Huge assist from Coleman and Obasahan to set up the key 3's.

Someone needs to tell Justin Coleman that his job is not to shoot 3s. And Ingram is gonna have to improve his ball handling alot.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Good hard fought win IMO. I know USM is bad, but for Bama to come off of two good wins and to overcome adversity like that on the road is a plus. Obviously woul dhave liked for Norris and Ingram to finish at the FT line there, but other than that, good W.

Way too many jump shots in this one. Would have liked for them to drive to the basket more and take advantage of USM's weak depth.

How long has it been since LSU lost on the road? Seems like a Northern Iowa team has raised an eyebrow or two.

Ugly? Yes.
