re: tOfficial Alabama Basketball Thread | Now Accepting Transfers l #BuckleUp

Troy is manhandling Southern Miss. Unless this team completely overlooks them, I doubt we drop this one.

That was crazy. Grant had me conditioned to expect failure in those scenarios, but I was holding out hope. It went in and I lost my mind.

Notre Dame is down to Illinois at half.

What happened to the Tuscaloosa thread?

Tomorrow night at 7 at Southern Miss on foxsports 1.


This will be a really interesting game to see the mindset our team has. They've been patted on the back since Sunday because of two nice wins. Now they've had a week off and are going on the road against a winless team. It's definitely a letdown spot so I'll be extremely encouraged if the staff has them focused and they come out and play well Friday.

I agree, this is an important game. It's big that we don't lose this game with Clemson and Oregon coming soon.

Some interesting statistics

Coach Johnson said his team would play an exciting brand of basketball and when looking at the dunk statistics, it has been just that. The Tide has 20 dunks through six games, which is an average of just over three dunks per game. In comparison, Alabama’s opponents have combined for just seven dunks on the year

Junior forward Shannon Hale has stepped up on the offensive end over his last four contests. During that span, the Johnson City, Tenn., native is averaging 16.8 points per game, while shooting 50 percent (23-of-46) from the floor and 54.4 percent (12-of-22) from beyond the arc. He enters the game leading Alabama in scoring (13.7 ppg), three-point field goal percentage (.462) and minutes per game (28.0).

Guard Retin Obasohan, who averaged 6.2 points per game a year ago, ranks second on the team with 11.7 points per game through Alabama’s six contests this season. Obasohan was one of the team’s top players in the second half of the season a year ago. Over his final 12 games, Obasohan averaged 12.2 ppg, which ranked second on the team during the span, to go along with 4.7 points and 1.4 steals a game. In addition, he shot 46 percent from the floor and 41 percent from beyond the arc over the 12-game stretch.

I'm sure that meant assists
