***Basketball In-game LSU vs Alabama***

[Catch Prothro]

I didn't even know I had ESPN FullCourt on my Direct TV. Thanks for the heads up, now I can watch the Tide.

Releford drives to basket and scores and is fouled. He misses the FT but Jacobs gets the rebound and Green scores. Total of a 4 point play, 28-19 Tide.



 

Yeah, the other channel was out, but I got it on 720.  Good find.

On ESPN College Basketball Live this morning, they were discussing whether Bama was the second best b-ball team in the SEC (Kentucky as #1 was a given.)

[BAMAWV]

Wimp broadcasting our game...WOW!

Bama's first score was TR driving 3/4 court to score in traffic. Most of last year that would have ended up off his foot and OOB. He also had a strong drive with 2:00 left in 1st that was a +1.

"D" having to respect Randolph now. They have pulled out of loose man coverage to tight man coverage. BTW,- nice alley oop to Randolph at about 6 min. remaining in 1st half. This guy is special.

Bama boxed-- rebounded well-- 37-27 (I believe LSU avg 41) which was key to playing a team with a big front line. 3 shooting was back to normal but 50% from floor. RTR

RollTideRoll to the janitorial guys at Coleman. ESPN showed some different angles and everything looked shiny and spotless.

A win at #20 MSU would be huge.

Nice win last night. The attendance was listed at over 14,000 which is a decent crowd for a rainy Wednesday night.

This team is deep. I think we found the starting line up last night. Releford, Lacey, Randolph, Green and Mitchell. Steele and Jacobs first off off the bench. Eblin, Cooper and Hankerson (out with minor knee issue last night) avilable as needed. We are getting scoring from everywhere. Lacey looks comfortable now and Randolph has found his shot.

The team defense is great. LSU had trouble crossing the 50 yard line mid-court many times. The shot clock was at 20 sec before LSU could get into their offense. LSU did not get many good looks at the basket. We are a good rebounding team. I expected that out of Green and Mitchell but Lacey and Ranolph hit the boards hard too. Jacobs is a solid rebounder as well.

The schedule gets tougher. We will find out in the next three games if we are a 6-8 seed or a 3-5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Miss State on the road Sat, Vandy at home and at Kentucky.

CAG has this team playing well. Basketball is fun again in Tuscaloosa. RTR

Wonder if Les was calling in some offensive formations.

Yes to the rebounding.  LSU came into the game with good stats on offensive rebounding but didn't too many second chances against Bama.

The Tide showed great hustle and energy, which shows up in good rebounding. The game against Miss. State will be a real challenge. They are big and strong on the inside and reminds me some of Kansas State. We have to be able to shoot from the outside against MSU or they could pound us to death on the inside.

I enjoyed Wimp calling our game last night. I thought he did a good job. No doubt he knows basketball. My favorite comment was after the game was in hand and the other announcer said this is a big win but not as big as the win on Monday. Wimp said "It is if you are the basketball coach".

A win over MSU this weekend would be huge.

Congrats to the students at the game.  They gave a big cheer the first time LSU crossed mid court.  I thought that was  .  Then when we got up by 21 they chanted "just like Monday!".
I liked how CAG put in all of our young guys at the end.  The game was basically settled, but it was close enough to give them some pressure.  I think we were only up 12 or so with 2 minutes left, and the young uns tood care of business.
At MSU will be tough for how young we are.  We need to win against VU at home because @UK is not going to happen.  We don't need another 3 game losing streak.

I would not completely rule out our chance of winning at UK. Sure they will be a heavy favorite but we beat them in Tuscaloosa last year and played them well in the SEC Tournament. We are much improved this year. Their team is talented but it is younger than ours. I say lets go in there expecting to win and see what happens.

Auburn gave them all they wanted for a while last night.

Same as football, depth kicks in during the 2nd half and there you go. Auburn played their little stupid hearts out and caught UK thinking about the after party or Angry Birds. At some point, UK got a "hey, we're losing" adrenaline rush and that was it. It will make UK a better (more mature) club and harder for us to sneak in a win.

I don't know, I look at it like this.  They coasted until somewhere along the way they did get that "hey we're losing" rush.  But then they flipped a switch and blew them out the rest of the way.  Now for a lot of young guys, that reinforces the notion that they are so good they can flip the switch any time they want.  A lot of guys won't listen to the coach until they lose a game or come close.  If they try that against a decent team they might not have time to pull it out.  We will see.

Mississippi State is leading UT 36-27 at the half. They don't look that impressive. UT matched them bucket for bucket until MSU's athleticism (or maybe UT's fatigue) took over the last 4 minutes of the half. I think Bama has a very good chance of beating them Saturday. MSU's ball handling is average at best and their shooting is not that great, except for the easy layups on their run. They are 13-25 from the floor and only 3-10 from beyond the arc.

Good point. Another thing about talented teams is they may keep waiting for someone else to start pounding 3s or slashing the lanes,-- making steals. You may have EVERYONE waiting for someone else to pull it out instead of taking the lead themselves.
