Title: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on February 20, 2013, 08:24:14 AM This is a bad State team that only has 5 scholarship players. We beat them 75-43 in Starkville a few weeks ago. We should steam roll them again.
Quote The Alabama men's basketball team will conclude its two-game homestand when it hosts the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Wednesday night. The contest is set to tip off at 7 p.m. CT and will be televised on the SEC Network. “We have six games remaining in conference so, for our guys, every game is critical,” UA head coach Anthony Grant said. “We’re excited to be in a position where we control our destiny as we head to the conference tournament. The focus right now is to take it one game at a time and understand what we have to do each individual game. With Mississippi State coming up, a game that we played earlier in the conference season, the score was one sided but I think that myself, the staff and the players understand that it was an eight point game at the half. We’re dealing with a team that is going through some struggles right now but has guys that are capable, so we have to bring our best focus, our best energy and play up to where we’re capable of playing.” http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/021913aab.html Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: BAMAWV on February 20, 2013, 08:28:17 AM This is a bad State team that only has 5 scholarship players.

Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: BAMAWV on February 20, 2013, 07:52:48 PM The Tide opens up a 11 point lead in the last couple of minutes of the half. Releford with 7 points, 2 assist, 3 rebounds, and a steal to lead the Bama scoring. They need to continue to build that lead and put this team away. Lacey also with 7 off 3-9 shooting, Randolph with 6 and Cooper with 5.

Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: Jamos on February 20, 2013, 09:50:46 PM Well it was another W but it was really uuuuuuuuuuuugly. :wall:
Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: BAMAWV on February 20, 2013, 10:44:27 PM MSU was not that great to start the year. They have since been devestated by suspensions and injuries. They have now lost 10 SEC games in a row. But if you want something to take away from this win, it was Coopers stepping forward to take charge. We have 4 or 5 guys capable of leadership on any given night giving hope that when one guy is cold another can take his place with the scoring. Then in a perfect Crimson storm, 4 or 5 of them get 12-15 apiece and we end up besting our 62 points a game average. This team is starting to be multi-dimensional offensively. Defense is still our main-stay.
Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: SUPERCOACH on February 20, 2013, 11:46:21 PM Cooper hits a big time 3. Bama by 7 I really like him. That is the second game in a row that he has hit a big 3 to knock the other team back when they were trying to make a run to catch up late in the game. Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: SUPERCOACH on February 20, 2013, 11:47:39 PM 9FG did manage to get a steal. Where did that come from?
:lol: And yes, he made a great tackle on Randolph. Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: BAMAWV on February 21, 2013, 06:04:08 AM 9FG did manage to get a steal. Where did that come from? 9FG is occasionally standing in the right place and a rebound or a steal comes right to him but he gave it right back with something-- oh, he gave 'em a second chance on a free throw with a lane violation. You rarely see that one called. :huge eye roll: He tried to play point guard last night. I think Lacey or Releford tossed him the ball and broke off him to the goal trying to peel their defender off. But Gueye missed the whole thing and just started dribbling (LOL). He got 25 minutes last night to only 15 for Jacobs. WTH? CAG has poured his soul into this project but Gueye continues to do Bill Buckner impersonations. I'll even bet that when he's on the bench his foot is sometimes sticking over the line (violation). :another eye roll: :lol: And yes, he made a great tackle on Randolph. I said about 6 or 7 games back that Cooper is either hot or cold. Never any in-between. But he does a lot of other things to justify his existence even when he is not hitting shots. He has been playing more consistant as of late. Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: Jamos on February 21, 2013, 06:27:33 AM 9FG did manage to get a steal.

He has been playing more consistant as of late. I know you don't like Gueye but Jacobs does nothing unless the ball is in his hands. He is no help whatsoever posting or screening for the other players. It's a fact that Bama has no big man capable of being a threat to the opposing team but Gueye does offer some resistance to the opposing players and tries to block and screen for the other players to get their shots off. Jacobs does attract some attention from the opposing players when he has the ball though and Gueye is no threat whatsoever. I hope that someday Gueye will learn how to dunk a ball, I have never seen him try to dunk a ball whether it's in a shootaround or in a game. He's had many chances to get easy baskets underneath with the dunk but he always chooses not to and misses the shot. It could be a fear of his knees but it sure is costing him some easy high percent baskets.

He's had many chances to get easy baskets underneath with the dunk but he always chooses not to and misses the shot. Absolutely! A guy his size should easily be able to dunk, but instead Gueye misses close range shots. And you're also right about Jacobs v. Gueye, at least Gueye sets screens and blocks shots.D won this game. I'm not sure I have ever seen so many steals in one game, down the stretch. The players are hustling out there.

Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on February 21, 2013, 08:11:56 AM If you are looking for pretty wins you need to follow another team. We win ugly and we did it again last night. Our 10-3 SEC record is looking pretty good.
Cooper had a great game. His first career double-double. Releford was solid again. He keeps driving to the basket and getting steals. Randolph struggled with his shot but his hustle is always there. I guess Lacey is our point guard now. State made the final score closer than it actually was by hitting three desperation 3's in the final 30 seconds. Over all it was an easy win over a bad team but a win none the less. We hit the road Saturday to play LSU. I look for that to be a difficult game. BTW, Ole Miss is doing everything they can to help us. They lost to USCe last night. They have now lost 5 of their last 7.

I saw the trainer working him with some stretches before the game, I didn't know he was having back problems. Maybe this is why he does very little in pregame warmups and doesn't get too physical during the games, I knew he had an ankle problem earlier in the year. He sure hasn't been the same Jacobs that I saw last year. Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: pmull on February 21, 2013, 10:37:32 AM 9FG did manage to get a steal.

It limited Jacobs play last night but he does not think it will be a continuing problem. See point # 3 in the attached link. Cecil Hurt tweeted it was a back spasm and he should be fine. http://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/index.ssf/2013/02/3_points_the_morning_after_ala_21.html Title: Re: Miss State at Alabama (7:00 SEC Network) Post by: SUPERCOACH on February 21, 2013, 10:44:50 AM 9FG did manage to get a steal.
