It's a small arena but Troy just opened a new one this year.The 4 better arena's are in no particular order are, Auburn,s USA's, UAB's, and the BJCC. I've been in the arenas at USA, UAB and the BJCC. Haven't been in Aubies new arena, but I can only assume it is better. I hear there is a nice one in Huntsville as well, but I haven't been there so I don't know.
I agree completely. I can understand if someone doesn't particularly like a certain sport, but there is no need to get on a message board and celebrate the fact that you don't like/support that sport.What I do not, cannot, never will, understand is that segment that calls themselves Alabama fans, yet not only has no interest in sports like Basketball -they seem to REVEL in rubbing their lack of support in people's faces. IF you support The University, why are you not wanting excellence in all endeavors?
Yes I agree but we need to stop losing our home games. Easier said than done but nothing keeps people away faster than a lack off success. I think Dayton was pretty good though and I think this team has some potential.I am a basketball season ticket holder....support this year has been decent so far. I tend to think that Coleman is a good venue. I think basketball excitement doesn't build in the early season because of the typically very poor home schedule.
UAB's IMO - Blah. Went there for a hoops game or two and the SEC Gymnastics Championship a few years back. I think it is cookie cutter. The half-filled with UAB mopes situation might be part of it.The 4 better arena's are in no particular order are, Auburn,s USA's, UAB's, and the BJCC.

We were badly crippled with Engstrom and Steele out. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good for a quick return of Steele, who's had bad injury luck his whole career. I have hopes that, with ten days rest, Carl will be back...Yes I agree but we need to stop losing our home games. Easier said than done but nothing keeps people away faster than a lack off success.

If this team is dependent on Engstrom and Steele for success, then we are done for the year.We were badly crippled with Engstrom and Steele out.

Mentalities and attitudes like this make me want to violate the profanity ruleI love Alabama but I've never been a big fan if basketball. I gave up years ago. We've been to the elite eight (the farthest any Bama team has ever advanced) once only to get stomped by the eventual national champ UCONN. The sweet 16 is about the best we can do as Alabama has proven time and time again. We will never be the top dog in SEC mens basketball. We are a football school.
Since you disliked my post (as well as others) I'm assuming you're implying that I'm one of the ones you think revels in the fact that I'm not a supporting the BB team. That's not true. As my post said, I wish all of Alabama's sports well and I hope they win every game. That doesn't mean I have to be a fan of many of them and doesn't mean that I have to follow them. We have a basketball forum for people who want to discuss basketball.What I do not, cannot, never will, understand is that segment that calls themselves Alabama fans, yet not only has no interest in sports like Basketball - they seem to REVEL in rubbing their lack of support in people's faces.

It was also on Espn3. Sometimes there are blackout issues with that but it was working here in SC.Figures. Comcast here took CSS off a couple of months ago. I registered my complaint to no avail.
Well, we've had 5 different lineups in 6 games due to injuries. I think we can cut them a little slack for losing to a decent Dayton team.That's "Dayton" for you basketball fans!
I think you misinterpreted my sarcasm on what the other poster posted! RTR!Well, we've had 5 different lineups in 6 games due to injuries. I think we can cut them a little slack for losing to a decent Dayton team.
