Game Thread: ****Official Game Thread - Bama vs. UI****
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
9pm Eastern on ESPN
Line is (6) Bama -3 (3) Illinois
I dated a girl once from Illinois. Some small town no one ever heard of. Her eyes were a shade of green that was just insane. Well - it's a game thread so I'll leave it at that.
Good luck and RTR!!!

Don't know much about Illinois. From what I can see on their roster/stats, their bigs don't score much.

At least nobody will be pulling against the Tide (consciously or subconsciously) just hoping Coach Grant gets fired. Such a strange feeling at the moment until a new coach is brought in and recruiting gets on track.
I have not seen UI play. Took a look at ESPN site on their stats. Their top scorer and also top rebounder is guard; next four scorers are guards. This usually means Bama has a chance at a decent matchup. Their top guards are listed a pretty big sized. They have a 6-11 senior forward/center. If things go as they have the last couple of games for Taylor (i.e. no goofy fouls put on him by the refs and no early fouls), Taylor may be a go to guy for Bama.
