The Alabama Men's basketball team took to the basketball court to start its regular season on a positive note with pretty much an easy win over the North Florida Ospreys 64-44.

The game was a must win under the belt for a team that had issues in this area early on in the season last year. The result was that it cost them the NCAA tournament. This year, however, with a boatload of talent and some new talent, Alabama is ready to dramatically change course.

The game wasn't pretty. Alabama did have issues in the game with at one point in the first half going through a 7 minute scoreless funk. Nevertheless, it was all good in the end because of the Tide's suffocating defense.

The defense held a decent Ospreys team to just 13 of 56 shooting from the field (23.2%).  Behind the three-point line, they were a measly 3/21. 

After the scoring drought, Alabama went on a went on an 18-5 tear to take a 29-16 lead to the half. The second half wasn't even close as the opponent never even got within single digits. In fact, Alabama led as much as 24 points in the econd half. 

JaMychal Green led the Tide troops in scoring tonight with 18 points and pulled down 6 rebounds.  Tony Mitchell also bought the work pail and worked up a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds.  

Trevor Releford punched in 7 points and did not have a turnover.  The freshman all together poured in an additional 18 points and the game was sealed. 

An Oakland team that caused a lot of havoc with some big teams last year comes to T-town on Monday night.   This game should prove to be the real test of how good Alabama is.  Oakland  went to the NCAA's and played a good Texas team close in a 85-81 loss and also played a Michigan State team close during the regular season last year.   

The win was good.  Hope to see more of the same against Oakland.

ROLL TIDE!

Last Friday, Anthony Grant & Wendell Hudson talked Alabama basketball. Both teams have reason for optimism this season. The men's team returns one of the top players in the country, 2nd team All American JaMychal Green. Green spoke at Media days and spoke about his intentions to step up and set the example for the new blood on Alabama's team. Alabama comes in the season ranked 17th in the nation.

JaMychal Green has looked impressive in the off-season in playing for USA Basketball in the World University Games. This summer, Green came in second on the team in scoring with 12.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game as the squad played to a 7-1 record. He lost 17 pounds in the off-season, so look for him to be able to run the floor better and have more endurance.

The ladies team is expected by many to be the best that Wendell Hudson has had since he first became the ladies head coach in 2007. Led by senior leader Ericka Russell, the Tide ladies look to improve mightily this year. Hudson said one of the keys to successful recruiting as of late came from the impact of Nick Saban on the program. Coach Saban has went over and beyond his call of duty to meet the recruits and spend time with them. Hudson indicated that Alabama has signed three junior college All-Americans for instant impact, and two of them were on a 32-1 championship team last year, and another player was on a national championship team in junior college. So there is proven winners in place this year to take Alabama's ladies basketball to a new level of play.

Looking forward to seeing both teams take it to the hoops.

Alabama's 5 star basketball phenom, Trevor Lacey (#3), practiced in the first scrimmage of the 2011-12 season. This video has highlights of what happened. He did ok, but he looked much like most new freshmen that step up to the next level. He had some issues in shot selection & play, but there were also some bright spots with a nice alley oop to a teammate, a steal, & a nice lay-up. However, he did not look spectacular in his initial practice.

The hype level on this kid was out of this world, so anything short of Michael Jordan-esque play is a let-down. Cutting the kid a break however, he has talent. There is no doubt there. He will grow and improve as he learns what is expected of him from his demanding coach, Anthony Grant.

I remember watching a young Latrell Sprewell back when he was in one of his first practices for Alabama. The scrimmage was actually in Gadsden. He looked like nothing special at the time, but eventually ended up being a first round NBA pick & All-Star (and a "thug" if you ask ex-Warriors coach P. J. Carlesimo). So you never know. He may be a future star. Time will tell. Right now, he's a freshman. Plain to see.

Check out the video. Keep in mind Lacey (#3) is a work in progress, not a finished Picasso.

ROLL TIDE.

"I caaaaaaaan't believe it!! I caaaaaaan't beleive it baby...its un-Be-Lieveable! Its showtime baby!" for next year in Tuscaloosa according to none other than Dick Vitale! The college basketball guru has Alabama's men's basketball program pegged to be one of the top 6 "under-the-radar" teams in America this upcoming season. basketball2

He also said that Vanderbilt, Missouri (Anderson is no longer there, but went to Arkansas), Cincinnati, Indiana, & USC. I think it is cool to be back in the thoughts of basketball gurus once again. Hopefully, Alabama will deliver on its potential this year. With a strong cast of players such as JaMychal Green, Tony Mitchell, Trevor Releford, and some new recruits including a 7 footer, Alabama should contend after barely missing the big dance this last year.

He just made the announcement to the delight of the crowd. Anthony Grant is finally putting together the talent to make Alabama competitive for years to come! The next 4 will be sweet, as in sweeter than the sweet 16, if we can keep Travor from going NBA.

The game was won on a Trevor Releford drive to the basket for a lay up with 12 seconds remaining. Colorado took one shot at the end but missed the outside jumper.

Alabama will play Wichita State in the finals of the NIT for the chance to be one of only 2 teams in Division I basketball to win its last game.

Alabama narrowly missed the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament after an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Kentucky in the SEC tournament. Looking back at Kentucky in the Final Four now, it goes to show you that Alabama could have played a few games in the NCAAs.

Nevertheless, the NIT gives the young players a chance to get some playing time, which is always a good thing. I believe it will carry over well into the upcoming season if the players will work hard in the offseason.

But first, lets enjoy Alabama playing in the final game of the NIT for a chance at an NIT Championship trophy.

It wasn't pretty to watch, but Alabama pulled out a victory in the end over a youthful Auburn squad, and it was a real grinder to watch. Nevertheless, it was a W in the win column. The score was 51-49 Alabama, as Alabama won its second victory of the season over their cross-state rival.

JaMychal Green scored on a tip-in with .3 seconds left to lift Alabama to a 51-49, come-from-behind victory over rival Auburn on Wednesday night.

Alabama completed the series sweep and has its best SEC record at this point since also starting out 11-2 during the 1986-87 season. The Tide has already clinched the Western Division title and entered the game tied atop the league standings with No. 13 Florida, which plays Georgia Thursday night.

As quoted from:
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310540333

Alabama needs to win out the season to stay in the hunt for an at-large bid from the NCAA. We can't afford to lose even one game, and it would be nice to win a couple in the SEC tournament for extra padding to the resume. Nevertheless, it was a good night to be a Bama fan!

Alabama Crimson Tide 65 - Tennessee Volunteers 60 To go on the road in Knoxville, TN and to clear the building of hunter orange in overtime, it is simply priceless! The Alabama defense locked down the Vols on the road for a hard fought victory on the road against a good Tennessee club which is expected to go to the NCAA playoffs.

Alabama beats Tennessee in OT and didn't score a single point outside of free throws in the final 9 mins of the game! The Crimson Tide basketball team is tops in the SEC and improves to an SEC record of 7-1! Anthony Grant is doing a marvelous job of getting the Crimson Tide ready to play basketball. Tennessee was riding high on a five game conference win streak after defeating LSU, Ole Miss and Auburn the past two weeks, but Bama snuffed that out this afternoon. We are now hitting the midway point in the SEC schedule and Alabama is beginning to build a nice resume for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Simply a gutty performance, Alabama junior forward JaMychal Green was battling sickness and played the entire game. Tony Mitchell rose to the occasion to be the player of the game with 24 points and 6 rebounds. "It was a hard fought game...we gave it all we had." Trevor Releford pitched in 14 points and the game was put on ice by an Alabama squad that hit 10 of 10 free throws down the stretch.

Alabama is being covered today at home on ESPN's Gameday. Alabama is 0-5 with at-home games that have been covered by the show. Now, I am not a superstitious person, but there are folks that beleive it is a "Gameday Hoax".

I find all that talk ridicuous, and more like the thinking of the middle ages rather than the modern world. The fact is, that every game and situation is different, and if you look back through the years, Alabama has been through a rough tribulation period as probation had the once mighty giant of college football crippled. Now, Coach Nick Saban has the team on the verge of dynasty (lets check back in and see if we will the national championship this year.)

So all indicators show that we are headed in the right direction, regardless of concocted superstitious thought patterns by fans and media. Saban will not allow such thought by his staff or players concerning any external factors.

Over the history of sports, there has been a lot of superstitions that have famously been observed by players, coaches, and teams. Michael Jordan used to wear his blue North Carolina shorts under his Bulls uniform for good luck, Wade Boggs would eat only chicken the day of a game, as well as common ones observed basketball teams such as "wiping the soles of your sneakers for good luck" or "touching a mascot symbol before the game".

Overall, there is a lot smaller superstitious that happen on an individual basis by players, but a coach cannot control. I can guarantee you, however, that Saban keeps his teams level headed concerning such negative thought patterns and Alabama will be ready for the game.

Cross your fingers... just kidding!

Roll Tide!

Alabama's Anthony Grant, today landed 7 ft 1 in basketball player from Sweden. His name is Carl Engstrom. He has reportedly only played basketball for only 14 months but he definitely has the physical tools to be a force in the SEC. He will be eligible to play this year. He selected Alabama over Alabama over Seton Hall, Georgia Tech, Baylor, and Florida State. He played recently on the U20 Swedish national team.

Here is a video of the Swedish big man who plans to roll with the Tide this fall. Unless you speak Swedish, then you wont understand it, but the translation says on this video that at this point in the video, he only had 5 months of experience playing basketball. Talk about a raw talent that can be molded. AG should be able to make this guy a star next year. It sounded like in one statement in the video that he liked Shaq, another 7 footer he most likely admires.

Anyway... From the video its pretty obvious that he can dunk easily. He even has a decent midrange shot :-)

Welcome to the Capstone, Carl!

ROLL TIDE!
