re: CBE Classic: Alabama 74 vs #13 Iowa State 84 FINAL

I know it's tough to keep Hale out of the game, but we were a better team when Norris was in. He actually played something resembling defense on Niang. He also made several off-ball defensive plays. He's much better defensively than I could've ever expected as a freshman.

Another positive to take from tonight was Cooper hopefully gaining a lot of confidence from this game. He's always had the ability, he's just needed the confidence.
