Kenpom has them at 63rd and beating us by 6 and NET has them at 77th. They are better than what their record indicates. As a matter of fact they have won for of their last 5 only losing by 2 to #24 Penn State. In order to win we need to shut down their 2 guards and and force turnover by pressing more than normal. They have been prone to turnovers. Hopefully Gilly has a field day.

BTW, Gilly needs 3 steels to be tied for second place all-time as a Spider and 7 to be tied for 1st. Not bad less than half way through junior year.

If we play like we played the last two games, we will lose by 15+. Play the way we did against Wisconsin (which incidentally beat Tennessee by 20 today!) and we will win.

 

[Gallipoli]

Our guys still feel the sting of the Radford loss. I think our guards come out ready to play. The Spiders have the best chance, if Gilyard scores more than 14.

 

[Gallipoli]

They seem to follow an up tempo scheme. They have had a hard time with injuries because of it. They commit a large number of turnovers, which may be of advantage to the Spiders.

[Dr. Spidey]

Radford game was an anomaly. Time to move on and dominate the Crimson Tide.

 

[Gallipoli]

Apparently, one of Bama's big men can step out and hit 3 pointers. It looks like their starting guards are at least 6-3 or taller.

[Gallipoli]

Great steal by Gilyard

 

[Gallipoli]

Bama averages 17 turnovers Gilyard playing inspired.

 

[Spider93]

Woof

 

[Eight Legger]

Some bad easy misses and stupid turnovers so far, plus Bama got hot from three, but we're only down four somehow. I will take it.

 

[whampas]

Bama chopping up the ole defense right now. Gonna be a long night.

 

[Gallipoli]

Francis has to heat up.

 

[Gospiders06]

consider it a ball game. no answer for dribble-drive at all

 

[Gallipoli]

Nice feed to Gilyard.

 

[SpiderRick]

Great steal by Gilyard

terrible game by Gilyard 2 bad turnovers and missed front end of one and one

After a great first month, Sherod has been a ghost out there lately

 

[urfan1]

Blake and Nick need to get going

 

[Spider93]

A10 REF GIVING OUT Ts!

 

[SpiderRick]

Aren't we suppose to be a 3 point shooting team? We suck the last 3 games
things back to normal, 3 straight bad games against mediocre teams

 

[urfan1]

fortunate to be down only 4 pts at half, gave up way to many 2nd chance points. Where has Nick gone?

Our munchkin guards once again having difficulty with big guards.

 

[SpiderK]

What the hell is Sherod doing? Besides nothing.

Standing at the three point line watching

 

[Gallipoli]

Sherrod and Cayo need to step it up.

 

[ur2K]

Looked bad in that half, fortunate to be down 4.

 

[Gallipoli]

This team has not folded. They will not give up.

A10 REF GIVING OUT Ts!

Highlight of the game so far...............think Bama coach close to another one .............constant jawing at same ref...................

 

[whampas]

This team has not folded. They will not give up.

No one mentioned them folding or giving up but they have regressed in recent games. They're now getting scouted and need to adjust. A difficult thing for this coaching staff.

 

[spider fan]

This team has not folded. They will not give up.

Bama's Shackelford will not be as hot on threes second half and Gilyard will continue after that unconscious nothing but net three as shot clock was winding down..............and maybe announcers will try again to call Gustavson by his name - after butchering pronunciation went to Richmond defender or Richmond player in order not to pronounce his name.................

 

[I-M-UR]

What is with our 3 point shooting???

 

[Eight Legger]

I have a great idea: Let's allow them to shoot as many uncontested threes as they want and then not try to rebound any of those misses.

They're executing that plan flawlessly.

 

[Spider93]

Flying Dutchmen are back!!!

 

[SpiderK]

Francis shooting us into oblivion

 

[urfan1]

looks to me as though we are not playing the pass but chancing the ball

 

[whampas]

It's time to start squeezing them. Mooney needs to turn up the pressure.
