Anyone who thinks Bama needs a miracle to beat Uconn, go watch the highlights of their blowout loss against Creighton. They look pretty mortal to me.

Their star center, Clingan, is just big. He's slow and only plays 22 minutes a game. I think Oats is going to have 5 shooters on the floor a lot. That will get him out of the lane or give us open threes. On defense, we'll sag off a couple of their poor shooters to double Clingan. We're going to dare them to try to outshoot us.

I think it has a good chance of working unless all our bigs foul out and/or uconn's subpar shooters turn into Steph Curry.

I'd feel pretty good about this game if Uconn didn't have so much length on the perimeter. As it is, I think we have a puncher's chance.

This is a major thing I’m worried about. UCONN will likely get all the friendly whistles. Grant cannot have 2-3 fouls halfway through the first half. He absolutely cannot be on the bench for long stretches.

Would be awesome if we could get Clingan in foul trouble but I’m not counting on that.
