Alabama Basketball Roster Update

[Catch Prothro]

With the gruop we are with in the Bahamas then we ought to come out I hope in at least 2nd place and we will be shining. I love CNO shoot, shoot, shoot. RTR!

2nd place in that group of teams would be a phenomenal result.

What if we were to go undefeated in all those non-conf games?  Think that would turn some heads?

I'd have to go to the doctor for whiplash.

My odds:

Win 3 games: >5%
Win 2 games: 40%
Win 1 game: 90%
No wins: 10%

This is a very difficult field.

I will say that someone picked a tourney to find out what we are made of for sure. RTR!

I think you got your < mixed up with the > sign.  Are you saying that we have a greater than 5% chance to win 3 games in that tourney? or less than 5% chance?

You are correct. Less than < 5%.

The 2019-2020 schedule has not been finalized but this is what we know so far. It is shaping up to get a very challenging schedule.

In addition to the SEC games we will play the following teams:

Penn 
@ Rhode Island 
North Carolina  (Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament in Bahamas)
Stephen F Austin 
@ Penn State 
Belmont  (Huntsville)
Richmond 

We will play three games in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament. Our second game will be against either Michigan or Iowa St. All teams in the Tournament are big names so our third game will add another quality opponent. Besides Bama the tournament teams will be Gonzaga, North Carolina, Michigan, Iowa State, Oregon, Seton Hall and Southern Miss.

That is 9 games. We will play in the SEC - Big 12 Challenge as a 10th game but the opponent has not been named yet. We normally play about 12-13 non-SEC games not counting the post season.

The SEC schedule will be very difficult as top to bottom the league is getting better each year. Our schedule will be one of the most difficult in the NCAA.

Add Kansas State to our non conference schedule.

Very optimistic article about this year's basketball team. 

This Tide squad comes ready-made with an alpha initiator starter pack, as rising sophomore Kira Lewis looks to be one of the conference’s best players after impressing as a 17-year-old point guard. He hit a bit of a rookie wall down the stretch, but with an offseason to develop and playing for a “guard whisperer” in Oats, we expect a sizable leap this year.

Lewis will start alongside two of John Petty, James Bolden, a West Virginia grad transfer, and James Rojas, a highly-touted JUCO transfer from powerhouse Hutchinson CC. All are proven scorers, particularly when playing alongside a skilled creator. Petty is the poster child for “streaky shooter” in my college basketball dictionary, although I do have hope he’ll progress in a system more focused on taking *good* shots. Similar to Mississippi with Devontae Shuler and Breein Tyree, the Tide were much better last year when its returning guards shared the court together.

Bolden prefers to be a spot up threat and secondary creator, compared to last year where he was miscast as the Mountaineers’ primary PG. Rojas, meanwhile, looks primed to fill the Jeremy Harris role from Oats’s Buffalo days, right down to the JUCO background, as a skilled big wing who can dominate mismatches with his shooting and ball skills.

Oats will unleash all of these weapons in transition as frequently as possible; his last two Buffalo teams ranked second and ninth, respectively, in percentage of offensive possessions finished in transition. Guards are free to push the tempo even off of misses, exploiting teams that aren’t disciplined or organized enough to get back and cut off driving lanes. Again, Lewis and Bolden feel like ideal ball-handlers for this system, and with the athleticism of Petty and Herb Jones, they should have weapons running the wings.

Sounds like they better be in shape for the speed that will be used. RTR!

Add Kansas State to our non conference schedule.

Samford has been added to the non-conference schedule. The game will be played in Legacy Arena. That is 10 games so we still have 2-3 to go.

Nix makes his pick UCLA and no shock here that we didn't have much a chance.

JUCO transfer James Rojas had knee surgery Thursday and will miss the year. This is a blow to the Bama roster. Rojas, a first team JUCO All-American last year, is a 6-8 power forward that was expected to carry much of the rebounding load. He was being compared to former Bama player Chris Hines.
