RE: [RollTideFan] Bama Basketball
Why is that? It makes me sick to see how poorly Bama has played there in years past. Can't we get a few practice days in that gym next year that may help us with our shooting? That was not the team I wanted Bama to be last night.

Re: [RollTideFan] Bama Basketball
It's the only gym I've ever seen where both teams sit at the end-line. It's impossible to communicate with your team when they're all 90 feet away from you for at least 1/2 the game.

[RollTideFan] Just in Case ...
... anyone is interested in reading about our sucky basketball team... Boy those guys disappointed me last night with their I could care less attitude. Roll-on Tide Roll-0n! Rick Vandy continues dominance at home http://www.tidesports.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050106/NEWS/501060347/1011 By Christopher Walsh Sports Writer January 06, 2005 NASHVILLE | The University of Alabama mens basketball team might want to think about changing its scheduling policy regarding SEC openers because the Crimson Tide still hasnt figured out how to win at Memorial Gymnasium. Led by guards Mario Moore and Jason Holwerda, who both finished with 16 points, Vanderbilt made 12 3-pointers and never trailed to beat Alabama 70-56 Wednesday night in the SEC opener for both teams. We played bad. They played good, junior forward Chuck Davis said. That was the story of the night. With the convincing victory, Vanderbilt continued its winning ways to extend three winning streaks at home: 10-0 this season, eight straight against Alabama (going back to 1990) and 8-0 in SEC openers opposite the Crimson Tide. But what was particularly disappointing to Alabama (11-3 overall, 0-1 SEC), ranked No. 19 in the latest Associated Press poll, was its perimeter defense. Coming in, Vanderbilt led the conference in 3-pointers with 10 per game, and it was no secret how the Commodores would attack. We have to get a lot better, coach Mark Gottfried said. Alabamas transition game also struggled, and seemingly just about every time Vanderbilt put up a 3-pointer it scored no matter if the initial shot went in or not thanks to nine offensive rebounds in the first half alone and an overall rebounding advantage of 41-25. Starting with Polish senior center Dawid Przybyszewski off the opening tip, Vanderbilt came out firing and shot 50-percent on its first 19 3-pointers. We gave up too many 3s, said Alabama forward Kennedy Winston. Were last in the conference defensively in that, and its killing us right now. Meanwhile, with Davis picking up two quick fouls, Alabama searched for another hot hand to complement Winston, who also finished with 16 points, but didnt find it in the backcourt. Freshman point Ronald Steele was limited to one field goal and two free throws while senior Earnest Sheltons shooting woes continued on the road. He finished with eight points, but was 3-for-10 from the field, giving him a shooting percentage of 30.9 percent (13-for-42) over the last four games away. Ive been playing down the last few games, Shelton said. I have to pick it up. Runs of 8-3 and 9-2 helped Vanderbilt build a 30-20 lead, but three inside baskets and three free throws by sophomore forward Jermareo Davidson, who finished with a team-high 21 points, minimized the damage until Moore hit 3-pointers on three consecutive possessions to help the Commodores open up a 41-29 halftime lead. From there it got worse for Alabama. Led by Moore, the Commodores (10-4, 1-0) kept hitting 3-pointers to open the second half with a 16-3 run, and with 14:22 remaining all five Vanderbilt starters were on the bench. We tried to do better defensively in the second half, but by then it was too late, said Davidson, who tied his season best in scoring (at Charlotte, Dec. 4). Alabama came back with a 19-4 run and with a 3-point play by Winston closed to 64-56 with 5:02 remaining but got no closer. Alabama will be looking to close in on three milestones when it hosts LSU on Saturday: -- Gottfried is still two wins shy of career No. 200. -- Winston needs 11 points for 1,000 career points. Shelton is 20 points short of passing Gottfried (1985-87) for 34th on the Alabama all-time scoring list with 1,056 points. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m., and the game will be televised by Fox SportsNet. -- Ricky Mac ___ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net
