Alabama-Tulane Set To Renew Old Rivalry On Sunday (ESPNU 5:00)

I'm throwing in the towel.

I'm throwing in the towel.

IMO it is OK to be disappointed but you should never give up on your team.

[BAMAWV]

We played a zone defense that was very active and effective. Tulane only scored 53 points on 36% shooting. Our press was not effective. We only caused 13 turnovers and very few were due to the press. We are not a good rebounding team.(1) We don't box out. Tulane beat us 34-30 in rebounding and they had 13 offensive rebounds to our 9.

We must find a way to score. In our 5 losses we have scored 62 points or less 4 times. We scored 71 in the loss to Dayton. 

Nick Jacobs played his best game. He scored 12 points and had 3 rebounds in 24 minutes. He only had two fouls. He is our only hope for a post player that can score. Why Jacobs was not in the game during the run Tulane made to take control of the game is a mystery to me and to that lady announcer that called the game.

Our team has been hit with (2)one major injury. The Engstrom experiment in picking up a 7 footer with no basketball experience was an utter failure.

I love Alabama Basketball. I will continue to watch every game and pull for Tide. But from what I have seen we are in for a long season unless CAG has a trick up his sleelve he has not shown us yet.

FIFY  and RTR on your final paragraph!

WV is not a Carl Engstrom fan. I am. We were 6-0, won our early tournament, and was going head to head with a good Cincinnati team on the road when Engstrom got hurt. We are 1-5 since his injury. HTH

Roll Tide and lets hope our team improves.

His five PFs, 1 TO, 1 REB in 16 minutes were at least entertaining.

I'm mostly a football fan, so I'm good.

His five PFs, 1 TO, 1 REB in 16 minutes were at least entertaining.

He was averaging 4 pts and 3 rebounds in 7 games. He fouled out of 1 game. His playing time was steady increasing due to his defensive production. Stats do not show altered shots and how many times teams avoided driving the lane due to his presence. I am not trying to say he was an All-Conference player. He was a viable option at the post position on a team that needs help at that position.

He still played basketball like the windmill hole at Putt-Putt. He clogged up the middle on offense more than defense.

Watch how, say Levi Randolph, moves when a shot is in the air. He is positioning himself as to where he anticipates the ball to come off the rim. That cannot be taught. It is instinctive coming from years and years practice and play. But I'm sure the Swede was a decent handball player.

Too bad Levi is not 7-1, you can't teach that either.

If I had a wish, it would not be for Minute Bol. Give the Tide Charles Oakley and we could paint Rupp Arena crimson.
