For those fans of torture, the Missouri v. Bama basketball game is on tonight 7 pm ESPN2.

Sadly, I expect us to get clobbered, maybe 15-20 points.


 :(

Since it is at home I give us a chance. The team has not given up and they continue to give good effort. I still think we get a few wins before this terrible season is over.

I agree we can win a couple of more, just don't think Missouri is one of them.


 ???

I am incline to agree that we can win maybe a couple more, but I had such wild hopes for this year. I actually thought this would be the year to go to the NCAA tournament. I can not see us going anywhere right now. I have to say my bubble was busted big time after a good start for a couple of games. RTR!

Have to confess I did not see this coming.  But ROOOOOOLLLL TIIIIIIDE!!!

I am not surprised we won. We are a different team at home. He hit more shots, get a few more calls to go our way and just play better. This was a good win over a quality team. If we had hit our free throws we would have blown them out.

I am not surprised at Randolph having his big night either. I am surprised he does not do it more often. I was able to see him play several times in high school since Bob Jones is in the same area as Austin. He was a scorer with a deadly outside shot. I was expecting very big things for him when he signed. I hope this gives him the confidence to finish this year strong and lead to a good senior season next year.

The team is still playing hard and giving their best every game. CAG has not lost the team. Now we have to go to Ole Miss and find a way to win on the road.

Great game by Randolph.  33 points!  I too expected more offense from him given his HS record -- maybe it will continue.

Signature win for the Tide.  Keep it up and we might find ourselves in the NIT.

Need to work on FTs in the off season.  That is one reason why Bama has lost so many games this year. 

Whoa! Steady fella, Missouri was unranked team which may not even make the NCAA Tourney. If we beat Kentucky, then we can say we have a signature victory.


 ;)

That was a bit of tongue-in-cheek.   ;D

A win over Kentucky in Lexington is laughable.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that BAMA goes 0/4 to finish the regular season. 

The only game they have a chance of wining is boogerU, but I do not think they have it in them.  They may find a way to go 1/4 down the stretch.  It will not be b/c of coaching.

LOL!! I guess beating someone who is halfway good can be called a signature win after this season.

 :lol2:

It is Bama's best win so far I think.

I'm just glad they won. If CAG has any sense, he would just turn them loose with the shooting instead of trying to run the clock down. Who knows, somebody might just get hot again.  :dunno:

This is the LR I expected.  I looked as if he had confidence back and didn't let missing a shot bother him like it looked in the past.
