Interviewed Alabama head basketball coach Nate Oats for my podcast today. Interview wont run until next week, but something that was interesting: He said "Assuming we stay healthy, I expect to make the NCAA Tournament." Loved the candor and honesty from the first year head coach

Is Penn really supposed to be that good? I was hoping this was another tune up, work the kinks out game like the Ga Tech scrimmage.

They were picked to finish 2nd in Ivy League. This is going to a pretty big test.

Yeah their pretty good. They are in a 1 bid league and it is usually Them,Harvard,Yale, or Princeton that win it.

They will play good smart basketball.

Yes Penn is a legit team. They can beat us. But I expect a close win.

Also, it’s crazy to think we have Alabama basketball back in 4 days. Seems like just yesterday we were watching us get beat by Norfolk State at home and cheering for it to happen so they’d fire Avery lol. Glad that’s over.

Tougher Kira Lewis Jr. could be key to Alabama basketball's success


quote:

Lewis earned SEC All-Freshman honors last season, leading Alabama with 13.5 points, 2.9 assists and 31.6 minutes per game. He was also the team’s leader in free-throw percentage (78.3), double-figure scoring games (24) and 20-point games (5).

However, the most encouraging statistic for Oats might have come in last week’s exhibition game against Georgia Tech. Lewis led the team with eight assists and finished with 20 points on 8 of 14 shooting. But it was his seven rebounds which stood out on the final box score.

Lewis averaged just 2.6 rebounds as a freshman with a season-high of five which he reached three times in 34 games. The 6-foot-3, 167-pound sophomore is determined to see those numbers rise this season.

“One of my goals this year is to get more rebounds because I feel like if a guard gets more rebounds the offense flows better into pushing the ball,” Lewis said after last week’s game. “So I’m just prying in there, getting rebounds cause the bigs have to box out a bigger player, and it’s my job to come up with the rebounds.”

All of Oats’ four starting guards at Buffalo last season all averaged 3.2 rebounds per game or more, including 6-foot-3, 194-pound C.J. Massinburg who finished second on the team averaging 6.5 boards.

“We had some pretty tough point guards at Buffalo on the defensive end,” Oats said. “Kira’s as skilled as any kid I’ve coached offensively. I’m just trying to get him to be better defensively. He’s coming. He’s working at it. He’s young. He just turned 18, so he’s still a young kid.”

I really can’t comprehend how they are picking and choosing who gets a waiver. Maybe we’ll get lucky with Quinerly’s appeal but I doubt it.

It is almost certainly decided on a case by case basis, which means there is no set of guidelines for them to follow, and I guarantee you the peer review aspect of it is limited at best, meaning the shitbag responsible for reviewing your request matters more than anything. Also, Quinerly should have lawyered up and accused Wright of being a racist for not playing him more and threatened to sue if the waiver wasn't granted.

I'm telling y'all, and I'm not shitting you, the only thing that mattered in that waiver request was the postmark on the envelope that said Tuscaloosa.

Book Richardson was hired as Director of Basketball Operations for some club-ball program in New York that he used to work for.
