who did we make angry that they continually give us the late games?

 

[BhamToTexas]

I have to say I like the late games. Gives me time to finish up at work, get the kids to all their practices, and get home for the game.

Prime bounceback spot. I would sure hate to be Missouri after us losing Saturday, and this being a road game for us. Bama by 15

C’mon guys… let’s bounce back and get this train rolling in the right direction again. RTR

According to ESPN, Missouri is a 1.5 pt. favorite.

Do we have enough guys to finish the game?

They're great... except I fall asleep and don't even know it

"finish"?

Doesn't seem like you're in bad shape at all right now regarding injuries, according to BamaNation's linked article:

Both teams are relatively healthy, with Alabama guard Houston Mallette listed as questionable due to a knee injury, while guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. is out with an Achilles injury. Missouri has not reported any significant injuries, allowing them to utilize their full rotation.

So, not sure what you mean by "finish".

The Bama Online podcast guys are saying we will probably see Cliff tonight.

If we don’t have Cliff, we have eight. Which sounds like a Wimp Sanderson team

How did that even happen...?

How did that even happen...?

things got chippy and at one point Bama’s bench left the left the sideline and came onto the court. Ref’s ejected all of them.

And in spite of that Bama actually kept it close. Colin Sexton was a beast.

As for the game, I’d be very wary of Mizzou. It’s not a good matchup. Mizzou is a team that loves to force turnovers, and if Bama has a weakness it’s that they are prone to turn it over.

plus, if you go over to Torvik and filter exclusively for conference play this is the result:


Missouri is playing championship level basketball right now.

There was actually another foul out and an injury after the bench ejection that got it down to 5 vs 3.

Not only did they keep it close, Bama actually closed the gap on the big lead a ranked Minnesota team had. They almost came back and won the game down 2 players. It was amazing.

Roll Tide!!!
So how do we match up without Cliff-O? Can Grant effectively fill in? Can Sherrell be a positive factor?
