🏀 Will Tonight Set The Tone For The Season?

Texas Tech next should give them a boost of confidence.

The fouls on Releford and Obasahon (sp?) took a toll on how Bama played on offense, I thought, and brought on another one of those 26 or 27 point halves. The team still doesn't shoot all that well. Ingstrom isn't a force. The big 6'10" freshman looks good, and I would bet he sees the floor more and more this year. Watching Duke tonight though makes me realize how far away Alabama is though. Wow. They swing the ball around and get wide open looks for three. Then, they make them. Scary good. I'd love to see Bama play that way.

Not a bad loss IMO. This was a very good OU squad last year. I know they lost 3 people from that team, but they look like a really good team.

Alabama exceeded my expectations for tonight offensively. They look very competitive, still terrible at rebounding, but I think they look good enough to do get some big wins this year and compete with Kentucky and Florida for the SEC title.

Bama was up by sixteen at one point and then finished down...70s to 40s...Something like that. You said still terrible with rebounds, yeah. Three-point shooting is abysmal as well. Grant needs an answer here.

Well you're not going to shoot 70% from the field. Not going to happen. I hate to lose, but its the first game of the year. There's going to be some consistency problems early on. 3-15 from outside the arc isn't going to get it done at all.

IMO, the short answer is YES! Looks like a long season ahead.
