Title: Basketball vs Missouri - Wed 1/31 on ESPN2 @ 8PM
Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on January 31, 2018, 08:46:36 PM
We've come out very flat, and Missouri was really shooting well for much of the half.

This one will hurt if we lose it:

Alabama Roundball‏
@BamaRoundball

Bama's current RPI is 27th (0.6082).   Assuming previous opponents go 3-4 tonight, a home win would keep Alabama's RPI in roughly the same spot, 27th (0.6088).  A home loss would drop Bama's RPI to the neighborhood of 44th (0.5934).

Down 33-24 with a little over 2 minutes left in the first half.

Bama did a good job of pulling it back to almost even before half, including a last second 3-pointed by Sexton.

35-33 at half.  Being down two points seems like a win at this point.

This is definitely looking like a 40-minute struggle.

Thanks HL for keeping us updated. I do hope we can pull this one out. Is Anderson still coaching Missouri.  RTR!

We can't seem to get any traction.  Down 63-55 with a little over five minutes to play.  Missouri is scoring more than we like to give up, and we are having a hard time trying to keep up.

It's been a comedy of errors, and we've been shooting at a hoop half the size of Missouri's all night.

Yes, they're young, and seem to prepare/play to the level of the competition. 

Maybe they need one of Saban's speeches.   ???

Wimp was in rare form on The Roundtable today.  He's obviously frustrated with the team, or at least the results, but doesn't seem to want to call out Coach or players.  He does call pretty much everyone else an idiot though, and tells Ryan Brown to call his Daddy and have him explain things to him.

He went to the NCAA tournament ten times in his 12 years as head coach, including six trips to the Sweet 16.  I'd certainly like to see that type of success again as well.
