Lots of work to do. This team doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to do and through whom is wants to do it. They'll get better. Certainly better than under Grant.
Crazy ending. Everything went wrong for the other team, glad that Bama kept it together at the end.
After tonight I would run the offense through Key. He seems to be the most complete and consistent player..
SLU inbounder looked silly but it wasn't his fault. The guard started a cut then stopped as the guy was starting to throw it inbound.
This would have been a horrible loss; very frustrating play by Bama.

They may settle into that. The rotation and everyone's role seems fluid so who knows? It'll get sorted out. In the meantime teams with veteran players will find success.
Just not a very good "team" now - by that I mean chemistry. Some decent talents and some real potential, but just not there yet. Work in progress.
Sow's Ear
Watching the St. Louis game now and this is the sorriest I've seen the Tide play since David Hobbs' and Anthony Grant's worst. Taylor and Hale need to be given an early graduation so that the other players don't catch whatever it is they have. And how do you recruit all these elite athletes and not a single one of them can shoot the ball?
Well, like they say, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear but it's terrible when it's still November and I'm already saying "maybe next year." If these last two games are any indication, this team will be very lucky to end up .500 and out of the SEC cellar.
Well, they 'won' tonight (actually, a really sorry St. Louis team lost, Bama just happened to be their opponent). That was some frightful basketball tonight. Urg!!!

Wow...........
Down 9, with a few minutes left, back-to-back 3s, and we are suddenly in it. Frustrating the lead jumped to 9, so fast, but they didn't cave.
For once, the other team did what we normally do, down the stretch. Once the younger players find the right role, and settle into it, there is hope.

There were spurts of good passing and open shots even in the paint but nothing was falling.

Crap, forgot about the game! Sounds like Bama did some necessary things toward the end to hold to the win! Great stuff! Roll Tide...
I was not able to watch this game due to a family emergency, so I can't comment on the overall quality of play, but we are obviously still struggling to score. Looking at the box score, I did notice a pattern which leaves reason for optimism.
Key, Ingram and King have all stepped forward as rather reliable scorers which have been brought in by Johnson. Collins is struggling, but we can hope he still finds himself as the overall team tries to come together for the rest of this season. As others have said, I expect it to be choppy this year, because Johnson wants a completely different style of play and many of the Grant recruits are having trouble shifting gears. Of course, major scoring help would seem to be coming with next years recruiting class.
