re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

This team is just not good defensively. They don’t use leverage very well, they don’t slide to stay in front very well, they get picked way too easily - whether on the ball or chasing off the ball, they don’t read and react quick enough to get steals, they turn and watch the guy driving the ball causing them to lose track of their man, and they are slow to the ball on loose balls and long rebounds….some of it at times is effort, and some of it is just lack of skill. The biggest reason why these things are issues is because of how obvious they are against the best teams. If Bama wants to compete for national titles they’ve got to improve drastically there.
