So Bama +3 over Texas St ****
Think this is 9th place vs 12th place. Both teams are struggling this year. Tex is 1-9 ats Both have lost 3 or 4 in a row. Best player in the gym tonite is So Bama's Jones and D-2 tranfer Gaiter and both are jags. Tx st is 7-12 ats home and away. Both these teams are at the bottom of the Sun Conf. They have tried to replace the floor general but Dru is out and there gd play can shoot but are missing a penetrator They rely on 6'9 Love and he is not at 100%. Drinnon is not playing who is there pt gd trying to replace last yrs pt gd Harrell. And again the last 4 yrs in controlled the ball 99% of the time. So Dru was his replacement but he is now out for the season They run a flex offesne but many times Love is at the top of the key when Bobcats penetrate and shoot so you have your best inside scorer and rebounder at the FT line who is in there flex rotation away from the bsket for an off rebound. Think So Bama has 2 scorers that will cause problems for the Bobcats. Bobcats shoots 3's and are 7-25,6-29,36-110, 4-17 . Not sure of the % but its not good. They must make them because the coach is allowing them to take them. But at some point when you can't hit the 3 you make some adjustments. Dawson is 36-110 and he is there best player. Going to the game tonight and have been winning going against the Bobcats So Bama is the weakest team I think the Bobcats see this year but the home court is not a huge advantage exepth the Tx Band. Last yr Bama won but you have 2 teams that are 1-8 and the other a little better Wrong team is favored since Tx St had lost 9 of 10 . This is a pickin game so I will grab a few points tonite Both teams have lost 3 and 4 in a row so someone has to win I'll take the points tonite and sit in the Jags section and buy a cotton candy . I think the two best players are Gaiter and Jones and the guy who sells cotton candy has no idea of any players on either teams. And the 3 pt shooting % of the Jags is pretty bad too..

recap of the game ist of all both teams were bad But So Bama was worst fighting for the worst sun conf team Although Bama had the two best players on the floor in Brown and Jones both were not well liked by their teammates . I could see the other team. Jones is built like a football player muscular and a showboat When they come out of the lockeroom for pre-game warmups JOnes is the only player not wearing a warm up suit He was out there flexing his muscles and I knew he was their best player. Brown is smooth and was so nonchalant and thru out the game showed no emotion . Bama coach was terrible Did a 1st half job not letting Love the tx post player touch the ball, So after half the Tex coach said we need to get Love the ball So the 1st 5 touches after half Love got the ball and scored. Then bama goes zone and it worked causing a few turn overs Bama up 5 or 6 pts But get out of the zone or swith it Tex has 2 or 3 outside shooters. Tx st runs its zone off and they hit 3 threes in a row uncontested jumpers The 1st half they didn't get uncontested jumper look but once Bama is in zone they hit them. The refs before the game had to say to each other " these are the 2 worst teams in the conference , lets let them play and not calls any fouls.. and thats what they did. Hand checking moving screens over the top pushing shoving etc . Both teams were getting called Anybody that drove to the basket got pushed,shoved knocked down and no whistle But Tex St realized this and stopped driving but So Bama kept driving getting hit and losing the ball.

wineguy you were right stupid on my part should of just gone to the game and watched.. lol this isn't a disease we have is it?

Gaiter bama's good gd lost the ball 3 or 4 times and turned it over When I got home I looked at the box score and he was listed for 1 turn over He was so bad he was benched because he would put his head down drive into the paint and had no idea where he was and turned it over. When the coach benched him Bama made a comeback . It was a brutal game sloppy and players out of control Bobcats played with much more intensity and although they won a rare home game they deserved it because they hustled more I lost thinking Tex St can't win at home Bama has 2 players better then anybody Bobcats have in Brown and Jones. Think everyone was frustrated with the terrible officiating. Also Tex has a kid named Sykes / He started tonite and its well deserved. He is a 6'6 fd weighs around 200 pounds He drives to the basket on every play. and he scored tonite a lot of points But So Bama don't let him drive and let him take a jumper Not sure of his FG% but his only misses tonight was missed rebounds. It has to be FG% about 80% What impressed me more was the halftime show with " Rush". Its a dog show with dog races and obstacles on the court. So Bama has some talent and the coaches are in the ozone when it comes to dealing with them But they have 6 team managers 3 asst coaches and when a time out was called these managers grabbed the seats and had them out there for the team to sit on Fasted team managers I have ever seem To bad they can't shoot or play D.. My bad sorry for the loss.. The Tex St Strutters were there and danced between the dog show at half time. So Bama gd Jones was one of the best gds I have seen yet he and Brown showed no emotion and almost didn't want to be there. No excuses I thought they had the talent So Bama ha Kearling an Australian player aboriginny . When I got home Mad Max was on HBO and I swear he was in the movie chasing Mad Max,,
