He was injured before the season. I imagine they're redshirting him now, and he'll grad transfer out to finish his career elsewhere.

Who are your top 5 Bama basketball players right now?

Mine are:

Hall
Sexton
Key
Ingram
Giddens



Tough call on the 5th guy but I like Giddens play over the last couple weeks.

It's time to give Avery Johnson some credit for what he's done with this team. Look how they perform when Colin Sexton hasn't been available (injury or foul trouble). He's done an excellent job of putting his people in positions where they could use the strengths of their game to contribute. They've gotten better and better defensively which tells us that he's getting a great effort out of them.
I could go on, but the bottomline is the man has the program going in the right direction and the fans excited about the future. He's gonna pack the house with the type of game he's brought to Tuscaloosa.....thanks Coach!

I honestly believe we play better as a team when Collin isn’t on the floor. Everyone ups their game and they play better. Collin gets out there and everybody just starts watching him and waiting on him to take over the game.

That hasn't happened since the Ole Miss game IMHO. It's also the reason we've played so well the last month.

They've all figured out how to do things together and play to strengths. It's still not perfect but there have been a lot more good than bad.

They seem to finally be figuring things out. Key actually being a valuable contributor on offense instead of a turnover machine has made a huge difference.

Am I the only person who thinks Petty is good? Inconsistent sure, but over 10ppg game, and he actually defends pretty well now.

Regardless I can't remember enjoying Alabama basketball as much as I've enjoyed these last two games.

If we can just finish the regular season strong and then make some noise at the SEC tournament, we would really help ourselves.

If we can just make it to the championship game of the SEC, I'd be so damn happy

That was starting to be the case, but it isn't anymore. We've been electric with Collin on the floor lately. He had a few bumps tonight, sure.

some tiger rant gems:

A loss sucks but getting whooped by an entire team full of Whoopie Goldberg hair wearing Alabama jerseys is even worse.

Seriously... frick this color guy!!! He fricking SUCKS!!!

This is embarrassing.

Turned it off.
frick it.

I don’t think it’s possible for me to hate a university and fan base more than Alabama.

I can’t take this officiating anymore

Petty is awesome in Coleman. Petty is hot garbage in not Coleman. I guess that can even out to good.

No you aren't. He, like a lot of these guys, has figured out how to do things. He still does some silly things, but he's a talented passer and plays really good long defense.

And he's a great shooter at home. I don't know what happens away from home.
