Bama Game Thread: MBB Bama v Creighton - Chris Youngblood Returns 12.14 SECN 7:30 CST

We shot 70 times. 70.

Which goes to my statement about the shots just not dropping. Quite a few 3s rimmed out.

I think the addition of Youngblood/Mallette will more than make up for Trelly's absence. We might lose a bit on 3 point percentage, but we'll play better defense and have a more diverse offensive attack with these two guys. Analytics-wise, it should be a clear win. Hate it for Wrightsell though.

Wrightsell is young enough that he can probably make a complete recovery. In middle-old age, that injury is sometimes a problem for life. I have a friend who tore his in his 40s, when we were still playing BB together. 20 years later, after several years of acute problems, he still has to "baby" it, using shoes without heel counters, etc...

Nelson's shooting form on 3ptrs will have to change if he ever hopes to be come a consistent shot maker.

He had tightened it up some, but it's back to being all elbows and knees flying around...
