Senario Hillman will be one of the best guards Alabama has seen in the last 7 or so years... book it

Ill say this in this thread so people dont implode but we are better without Steele on the court. Maybe not in clutch situations but it is like Tennessee last year. When we open it up a little and run a motion offense guys that can get to the basket make all the difference to the world, and Steele cant do that and finish like our guards now.

Now if we had more talent, Steele would be better.

It looks like Mercer's win over USC was just the tonic we needed. Let's keep after it, young men!

Riley with his 2nd foul. Tubbs checks in. Hendrix with his 10th rebound.

Yeah, it would be great, and I would put Steele at the two ina three guard system or make him push the ball.

 

[Tidetwin]

are we playing predominantly man to man on defense? I would assume we are with Hendrix's rebounding totals.

Their announcer sounds so much like LSU's Jim Hawthorne it is actually terrifying.
