No. 5 Alabama has a reputation as 3-point gunners, but it's defense and rebounding that have become a focus as the Tide welcome South Dakota State to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to end the 2024 calendar year.

Alabama (10-2) is frequently thought of as an offensive 3-point shooting free-for-all program, but Nate Oats' 2024-25 squad has thrived largely on the basis of inside play. The Tide are shooting 62.2 percent on their two-point attempts and grab 45 rebounds per game, each figure placing the team among the national leaders in those categories.

Last tune up game before conference play. Let’s hope the Christmas break has allowed some guys some rest after the brutal non-conference schedule.

ESPN+

isn't this our 4th or 5th game on streaming only?

Not that you need it - but good luck today! We're currently playing Stetson and the forum discussion is centered around how much to play the bench after we get ahead by a mile. Might also apply to Bama....

Watching on HULU / ESPN+, and the audio has consistently been a couple of seconds ahead of the video. Seems to have caught up now, but it was pretty confusing to watch while it was happening!

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Their shooters bother me, if we have our customary 2nd half slump...

I was logged into the game, stopped to shower, came back and my Chromecast and TV had both gone to sleep. When I got them restarted, for some reason, I had to all the way through the ESPN login procedure, which cost me the first 3:00 of the game...

Me, too. Looking good so far. Aubie kid is on fire

What is the story on Reid? I saw that he has an ankle injury and is wearing a boot.

Post defenders continue to allow big men to catch the ball too deep.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Well, I backed up to see #45 stumble backwards into O and get an off-balance basket and foul and now I can't get rid of the progress bar and shading at the top and bottom. Grrr...

That's what happens when get too cocky...

 

[dtgreg]

Mine won't pause, back-up or ff

 

[TIDE-HSV]

What's the story on #45, transferring down from Wazzu to SDS?

 

[bama_fan01]

Second half has started, and the audio is jacked up again (at least on my TV). Probably 5 seconds ahead of the video now.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Stevenson's confidence is shot...

I’m watching the courtside cam live on YouTube.
