re: Tide Hoops | 31-6 (16-2)

Wouldnt surprise me to see Clowney playing the 5 some to draw Robbins out of the lane, he is a really good shot blocker, had 6 blocks vs South Carolina and 3 in the 2nd half vs Arkansas.

Kind of hard to do though cause Vandy has a lot of size even outside of Robbins.

do they know we win by 20 a game now? They will soon.

No. 4/4 Alabama Faces Vanderbilt at Memorial Gymnasium

Alabama men's basketball enters the week ranked No. 4/4 in the AP Top-25 Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll and will begin its two-game roadtrip this week, starting at Vanderbilt on Tuesday at Memorial Gymnasium. The Tide are looking to improve to 6-0 in Southeastern Conference play for the second time under head coach Nate Oats while the Commodores face their fourth straight ranked opponent. 

The Alabama-Vanderbilt matchup features two of the best shot blockers in the SEC, as Vandy's Liam Robbins ranks No. 2 in the conference with 2.9 blocks per game while Alabama's Charles Bediako's 1.9 blocks per contest ranks No. 4 in the SEC. 

The Broadcast
Tuesday's game is set for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff and will be aired on the SEC Network with Kevin Fitzgerald (play-by-play) and Carolyn Peck (analyst) on the call.

The radio broadcast can be heard on the Crimson Tide Sports Network with Chris Stewart (play-by-play) and Bryan Passink (analyst) on the call, while Tom Stipe (engineer) is turning the dials. The pregame show will begin one hour prior to tipoff.


Coach Oats' Vandy preview press conference (the UA posting)

People are downvoting me….If you don’t think odds makers factor stuff like this into the line then you don’t know sports betting. Being in close time proximity to the event and then immediately going on the road has a factor on the spread. The spread was mentioned and I’d be willing to bet it’s be at least 2 points higher if none of this happened.

How Will Alabama Basketball Respond Against Vanderbilt?

Alabama basketball is 5-0 in the SEC and coming off a dominant win against LSU, but may now have one of their most challenging games with turmoil surrounding the team.

Edey is a ducking monster. I think even Angry Chuck would have trouble with him.

I literally hate referees because of bad calls like that one against MSU.

They basically are trying to force Purdue to win

I love having Edey on my college fantasy basketball team. 32 points and 17 rebounds today vs Michigan State/ That's a pretty normal stat line for him. Should win player of the year pretty easily.

I know we are loaded anyway but it would be nice to still have him on the team.
