Bad news is I'm not entirely convinced we are very good.
we aren't great but I do think we're getting a little bit better. Mainly having Donta as the starter is what I'm referring to. Having a big man start and lead the team in scoring against a ranked team is a rare occurrence for Bama basketball, and that's what Hall did. If he keeps that up, and Key keeps being the player he is, and then a couple of more players like Dazon or Corban start getting more consistent, we could end up being a pretty good team.

I think we're good, just need to realize we're not a 3-point shooting team.

Armond needs to stop shooting threes every time he gets the ball

Definitely. I don't mind the occasional shot, but I'd rather he do it off a high ball screen or when the shot is open. Stop doing it when there's a defender in your face and no one in the post to even get the rebound.

I get the concept that you're going for, but if we are relying on Donta to be the go to scorer, we are in big trouble. The guy is just too limited with his offensive skills to produce night in and night out.

Yeah I agree with not solely relying on Hall. We need Dazon or Collins to step up, or even Avery Jr, and someone needs to become a consistent scorer. But Hall needs to keep playing good along with that. His play alone won't be good enough.

Corban leads the team with 7 points. Key and Donta both have 6.

Hope Donta can play like he has the past two games for the rest of the year. His confidence is sky high and they're actually looking to get him the ball.

Is Donta starting over Jimmy now? If not he should be.

When was the last time Alabama was considered a top 3 pt team?

Yes he is. He started against Oregon and had a career high 14 points. He started his second game tonight and had a career high 15 points. He's playing really well.

One of those last hot/cold Gottfried teams probably.
