Alabama Hosts Rival Auburn Tonight (6:00 ESPNU)

[BAMAWV]

Jacobs picks up 4th PF-- he needs to learn ro make'em count on easy put backs for opponents.

He finishes with a double-double for the night.

Gueye with 2 reb. and 2 PFs, 1 lane violation.

Finally, a solid game, even if it was against a lousy team. Releford, Randolph, Jacobs, & Obasohan all played a good game. Now, if we can beat Florida, look out!

Obasohan is coming along. 
Jacobs looked like the player he was at this time last year, finally.
And Releford has been on fire, he's got the madness.

A good win against a bad team. We did what we had to do.

Now we go to Florida on Saturday and Ole Miss next Tuesday. Both good teams. Both games on the road. These games are critical to our NCAA hopes. We need both games to be comfortable. A split is imperitive.

We remain in a 2nd place tie with Kentucky assuming they beat Miss State tonight. State is terrible. We have the tie breaker over UK with the head-to-head win. We are one game behind Florida. The winner of Saturday's Bama - UF game will be the SEC leader.

This may sound crazy, but 2 keys to the Tide making the NCAA Tourney could be Nick Jacobs & Obasohan. Naturally, we have to have strong play from Releford & Lacey, but if Jacobs can score and rebound and Obasohan can contribute some scoring & good ball handling, we might surprise some folks. This may turn out to be a pipe dream, but Jacobs has shown potential if he can just keep playing hard we have a chance to do something as a team.

Florida lost last night, so Bama is just one game behind.  It appears we are still ahead of Kentucky, having played one more game?

UK plays Miss State tonight. a win will have us tied. We win the tie breaker if we are tied due to our head-to-head win. Same with UF if we beat them.

We have been saying for awhile that Jacobs is our only hope of getting any scoring from the post position. He has had a few big games this year. He had a double-double when we beat UK and he went against Noel all game. No doubt when Jacobs plays well we are a much better team.

Obasohan is a scrappy player. He is a big improvement over Ben Eblen as a back up. He can handle the ball, score, penetrate, play defense and shoot free throws. He plays a lot like Releford.

Who is this Lacey guy, of which you speak? Let's hope he quickly turns things around, but he was in our way beating Auburn yesterday. His points came in mop up. Obasohan is a project and I wouldn't start hitching wagons to him just yet. Lastly, Jacobs did enough to offset the damage done by Chubb, the Auburn big man. HTH
