Just got even bigger with their win over the Zags…
Really good win, after Bama lost to Iona, I was worried we were not getting a quality game on our schedule anymore.
ESPN predictor thing has us as a favorite, before the Gonzaga game we were like 65% to win. I think we are favorites on all of our remaining games.
Still a pretty heavy favorite… CKS Defense!
The more accurate computer predictors have us as a slight dog. around 47% chance to win.
Good… Give our boys a chip on their shoulders!
I don’t think a chip will be much of a difference in this game. We play hard anyway. Execution will be the difference.
I was a bit surprised, not sure how this prediction works. But Alabama right now is a favorite vs Kentucky (at Alabama as well) so seems like this tool has as rated pretty high
That sounds a bit more realistic
Idk how it works either but I predict a loss for BAMA… 100% to 0…
This is going to be a tough test for us, but it’s a great game to play in preparation for the beginning of conference play. Always good to play a few of these difficult road games in pre-conference.
Watched some of their Zag game.
They look really good!
A major test for our Coogs.
Bama shot lights out from three…. CKS and staff will not allow that to happen against us.
Shackelford and Davison can shoot the 3. Shackelford is probably the best scorer we’ll face this season
Jahvon Quinerly, very crafty guard. Will set big man up for dunks, and kick out to shooters for 3s.
Bediako, 7 ft, freshman center.
Juwan Gary, 6 ft 6", power forward. He plays tough. He would fit in our system. I would assume he’ll be matched up against Fabian
And the other (3): Keon Ellis, Noah Gurley, Darius Miles.
Keon Ellis, didn’t shoot great against Gonzaga. But he’s a long athletic guard.
The only guy we don’t match up great against is the 7 footer, Bediako.
Good luck Reggie Chaney. Will be a test.
8 man rotation. 4 guards + 4 forwards.
Quinerly & Shackelford are the straws that stur the drink.
Amazing how Shackelford once had his name in the transfer portal this off-season. But decided to return to Bama. Gifted scorer. Alabama is a Sweet 16/Elite 8 type team. So should be a great test
