re: Tide Hoops | Recruiting

I keep looking at our schedule and thinking 9-2 would be a really good spot going into the Auburn game at Coleman. But then I would have to concede that we lose twice on the road beforehand... The more I watch this group, the tougher that is to do.

Hoping for a capacity crowd Tuesday. That’d help us a ton if the team happens to be looking ahead to UK. Hopefully that’s not the case though.

I watched the second half of the game.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before - it shouldn’t have been as close as it was but Bama shot 59% from the line (16-27) and was under 50% until hitting several when OM started desperation fouling.

Bama shot better from 3 than they did from the line (62 to 59).

Maybe Oats and Curry can get a 2 for 1 deal on a free throw shooting guru.

Yeah she’s good looking. So is Spreen and Barker isn’t bad either.

College Basketball Television Windows Amid Packed SEC Slate: Just A Minute (SI)

With a busy schedule of SEC basketball on Tuesday night, fans all across the sport will want to catch all the action.

Tuesday night will mark another chapter in the still-growing saga of major dates on the SEC basketball calendar. With the league as stacked from the top down and competitive as any in the recent history of men's college basketball, there are three matchups on Jan. 14 that will feature two ranked teams playing one another.

One of those is No. 5 Alabama's home tilt opposite No. 23 Ole Miss. Both sport 3-0 records in conference play to go with equal overall marks which sit at 14-2. The other two are sixth-ranked Kentucky playing host to 10th-ranked Texas A&M and No. 2 Auburn defending home court against No. 14 Mississippi State.

All three contests are set to tip off at the same time (6 p.m. CT). Alabama's road win over Texas A&M this past Saturday followed a battle between top-ranked Tennessee and Texas which ran long on television, thus continuing the ubiquitous experience of channel-switching in order to catch multiple games running concurrently. Waiting in the wings for the earlier slate to conclude are two 8 p.m. CT starts, one of which includes eighth-ranked Florida, meaning it is all too likely those games will start while the prior three are still wrapping up.

The Crimson Tide and the Aggies, in fact, took almost three hours to get through a contest marred by foul calls and free throws, a fact briefly alluded to by Alabama coach Nate Oats during his postgame press conference. Traditional two-hour television windows are proving difficult when it comes to accommodating each and every game on its originally scheduled network. This phenomenon persists despite seemingly being a readily apparent nuance in the college basketball viewing experience.

Just think though, how much better would our offense be if we focused more on the mid-range game? We might be averaging 90+ PPG.
