Alabama vs Vandy in BB-On Now Saturday

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide has sprinted out to an early 16-8 lead. We're 2/3 on 3 pointers with Ingram & Key leading the charge. Tide is really playing smoothly and showing great energy.



 



 

[Marshal Dillon]

17-16 Tide as Vandy gets a break on a bad foul call. Candy has 7'1" center causing some problems under basket. Taylor scores on him. Junior hits 3 as pace quickens. 22-21 Tide.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide looking good so far. Olaniyan comes in and makes immediate impact around basket with 2 baskets. 26 all.

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide has 12 OFFENSIVE rebounds so far in 1st half. 29-26 Tide. Taylor with another block. 30-30 Half. Tide shooting 3/7 FT's. Announcers said Coach Johnson cut the playbook in half to improve game flow and allow more instinctive playing.




 
         

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide starts stone cold in 2nd half. Vandy goes 16-2 till Davis makes 4 point play after being fouled. 46-36 Vandy. Vandy driving to basket since Hall & Taylor not in game.



 

[Marshal Dillon]

After being down by 14, Armond Davis comes in and throws in 12 points after not playing in the first half. Tide goes on 17-3 run. Tied 49 all and Hale fouled. Timeout. 7:56 left in game.



                

[Marshal Dillon]

Tide playing: Ingram, Hale, Taylor (just blocked a shot, then slams a 2), Davis, Key who is replaced by Collins who hits 3. 56-51 Tide. Taylor is blocking shots and rebounding like a maniac.

[Marshal Dillon]

Taylor with 10 points, 7 rebounds, & 3 blocks. That's what we have been missing under the basket.



     

[Marshal Dillon]

Bama BEATS Vandy 59-56. Great game.

We played hard as a team tonight and it paid off. Defense won the game. Vandy's lowest scoring game of the year. It was sloppy but we defended our home floor. A very good win.

[hscoach]

Bama did a great job with their defense the last 10 minutes of the game.  They hit some big shots and different players are contributing.

I was on the road, and got home in time to watch the last 10 minutes.

We won.  But ... Vandy had ample opportunity to win, and miss shots.  Plus, they didn't take advantage of our poor free-throw shooting.

It's a bit painful to watch, but at least we won.   

[pmull]

This team is more talented than last years but we do not have a "go to" scorer that can get 18 points/game. Last year we had Obasohan but he had very little help. This years team has a bunch of role players but no "go to" guy. We need to find one. Elite teams have at least two. Defense will keep us in most games. Wins will be ugly but any conference win is a good win. We just need to survive this season as better days are ahead for this program.

Several SEC teams are struggling. LSU (1-2), Auburn (0-3) and Missouri (0-2) look really bad in conference play. A&M was projected to be one of the better SEC teams but they are 0-3. UT is (1-2) but I have not seen them play. Arkansas and Ole Miss are both (1-2) but look good having loses to very good teams.

2-0 in the SEC. Good start. I hope we can keep the momentum. I'm glad Taylor got some production. We need that from the big boys.
