Bama Game Thread: MBB - Bama vs North Dakota - Mon 11-3 7p Central - SECN+

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

Don't think we can really take away anything for certain give the strength of North Dakota... but there were some really good things about last night's game. In the exhibitions, it appeared that both Allen and Hannah were ahead of Jemison... but last night I'd put the order as Allen (1A), Jemison (1B), and Hannah a definite third. Just my guess here, but I think there will be some games where these 3 guys shift around in ranking - all will have some games where they'll be terrific but then will likely have some games (based on matchups) where they won't be effective. It doesn't appear points will be an issue - even with arguably our best two three-point shooters out, we scored - and as long as Philon stays on the floor we have a guy who can get to the rim at will when it's needed. Based on three times out, I'm thinking our "ceiling" this year will depend on how we play defense. Specifically, how we play defense among the big guys. I think our guarding on the perimeter is much improved this year - both Allen and Mallette were impressive last night and others were very good. Sherrill looked better, but Bol Bowen is going to bear watching - he was promptly removed from the game a few minutes in because he didn't play defense. Not sure how we stack up against St. John's, but Purdue usually brings talented bigs to play... we'll know a lot more after these next two games, but terrific start to the season last night. RTR
 
Hate that I missed it and can’t find a full replay because of the dispute. Always great to win. 3pt percentage bad this game but other stats pretty darn dominant.

I think 3pt % at the half was just under 44% from what I remember seeing on the scrolling board. The 2nd half was pretty sloppy.
