I come down on Norris mostly during the game. Afterwards, after I've cooled down, I'll say what he really is: a guy can that has potential to bank open shots, a hard-nosed player who fights for the rebound, and plays solid defense. Still though, he does not handle the ball well, is mediocre dribbling the ball, and isn't very good driving to the basket.


I think he's progressed tremendously as a player though and can't wait to see what he has in stock for next year.


Agree with all of this. The only part of his game that I really get mad with him over is his ability to miss free throws.

As someone said during the Moo State game, he's a white boy from Sand Mountain. The one thing he should be utterly reliable at is hitting open outside shots and you can't get a more open outside shot than a free throw.

Mizzou lost a heart breaker at home to Ole Miss. It was unorthodox for them, but they shot 50% from the field. They're still the worst 3P shooting team in the league.

Hopefully this game can be a relaxer. No frick ups.

Saturday is close to a sell out. From Bryan Passink:

We could be sitting on a 15-6 or 16-5 record right now. We have had some tough breaks. I still love the fans excitement . I love that our athletic department is striving to be the best all around.

We've had some tough losses, but that LSU game still bugs me. We'd be 4-5 in the SEC right now with the last place team coming to us. Still hoping we can go on a bit of a run after a tough win.

The Ole Miss, Auburn and LSU losses were total let downs. We had big leads in all those games.

Tough one to lose, but we didn't feel like the better team in that game. We had a great chance to steal it though.

Oregon is really, really good.

i agree. The talent disparity was in full affect in the second half. I do believe that if we had just a little better post play we could have won. We need to work on our rebounding badly in the off season.

That LSU loss hurts the most to me because it was at home. LSU was crazy fast in transition though, but another game, Bama has a good lead and let's it slip away

I don't think Oregon respected Bama's speed in the first half. Lot of press and zone, and Bama just went right by them for easy buckets. 2nd half was a totally different story. Didn't help that Hale was out, and Obasahan had an off night. Great performance from Norris and Coleman, but man, we win that game if Retin has half the impact he does for Bama regularly.

We're 12-9 (3-6). Here's our remaining schedule. We still have a chance at the NCAA Tourney. I'm so impressed with the job CAJ has done so far.

vs Missouri (8-14)
vs #8 Texas A&M (18-3)
@ Florida (15-7)
@ LSU (14-8)
vs Miss State (9-12)
@ Kentucky (16-6)
vs Auburn (9-12)
vs Arkansas (11-11)
@ Georgia (12-8)

Alabama lost by 8 (71-63) at Vandy. Texas A&M just lost by 17 (77-60) at Vandy tonight. A&M isn't unbeatable like everyone's been making out lately. I think we can beat them, especially since it's in Coleman Coliseum.
