Good reminder

May get Nelson and Wrightsell some PT tonight. Hopefully we see Sherrell get a good bulk to PT too, even though he's injured.

@Brandon Van de Graaff posted the tweet but they're all three going to play some tonight but at reduced minutes so likely less than 10 mins each. Letting them slowly acclimate is probably the smart move for now. If this was a tip-off game against better competition we may have done something differently.

Hopefully, our young men come out playing tough defense, rebounding, protecting the paint and are consistent on offense. Looking forward to the season.

That's good to hear. I think we'll need Sherrell more than we think at 5. Hopefully he can get into game shape real quick and get comfortable in the offense.

Things I hope to see tonight:

-Better defensive intensity than we saw against Memphis.

-Better transition D

-Limited turnovers - usually early in the season, Oats' teams have a tendency to be careless with the ball as they get acclimated to the offense.

-Attacking the boards. Was an issue last season.

-Better finishes/higher quality shots around the rim.

You can't look at that game. It's like making a judgement on a QB wearing a black shirt.

We don't know what was going on in that "pick up game."

I definitely won't put too much stock into an exhibition. I did not know going into that game that there were unlimited fouls. Memphis played way more handsy than you would in a normal game. There is some minor stuff from that game that I think Oats was not happy about (such as poor transition play), but ultimately you take it with a grain of salt.

Watching Purdue-Texas A&M CC. Purdue's pace is a lot faster than previous seasons. But their D is really biting on the shot fake.

 

[BAMAneck]

Wont get to watch much of the game , maybe an hour.

I’m also hoping for a better display on defense.

Ladies Bama won tonight 115-53.

Simple for me get a win but definetly improve free throw shooting.and play D w/o fouling.

 

[bama alum]

I know it's UNC Asheville, but... maaaaaaaaann! This Bama team looks really good!

 

[Bammerboy321]

Really sloppy with the ball so far.

 

[Bammerboy321]

We look much better on court with Holloway in. That pass was 3/4ths across the court. Our pace looks incredible.

 

[bama alum]

Philon! Wow...

 

[Bammerboy321]

Dioubate and Sherrell are fucking MEN!!!
