TIDE HOPES TO WIN A ROAD GAME...
Releford lift three pointer over the out stretched arms of Marshall Henderson for a game winner. Tonight, things will be different. The game is being played at the Tad Pad, and Marshall Henderson is rarely held to 14 points.
Willie Nelson not withstanding, the road has been a kill zone for the Crimson Tide. The Tide is 0 for as many games they've played so far. The Tide has had a few close games but the majority were pretty bad. That includes one at Auburn we'd all like to forget. The last time we saw the Ole Miss Rebels we saw Trevor
As much as I'm impressed with the Rebel back court, it is the front court that worries me. They are a group of fast improving no names who have begun to assert themselves. If you watched the Ole Miss/Florida game you know what I mean. This time we go over to the Magnolia State we will be without Nick Jacobs (unless something has happened about him getting back on the team). This could be a nasty affair in the paint. Jimmy Taylor can stop one of those guys but not all. So once again Anthony Grant is going to have to manipulate line up. That means Engstrom should get some good minutes. The ability to keep both of the Tide's big men out of foul trouble. Engstrom doesn't have the mobility to keep up with the Ole Miss inside players, but he can help protect the basket. Surely, we could recruit at least one mobile big man if Ole Miss can.
Alabama's Trevor Releford needs a good game and someone else needs to chip in for a good scoring night. It would be nice if Levi could have another such game. Two in a row might be too much. Cooper needs to step and score some in this game and as always he needs to continue to rebound like always. I expect that Algie Key is going to get a lot of time on Marshall Henderson. Last game, Key and the Bama zone shut him down. The Rebels need to win this game to keep the fading NCAA hopes alive. A big finish might get them there. Bama needs to continue forward from the Missouri game. It is important for all the returning player to step up and get ready for next season. Shannon Hale needs to play hard under boards. His wide open approach has been refreshing to watch. He is going to be a good one.
We would like to extend our sympathies to all Ole Miss fans and the family of Cob Jarvis. Coach J was a living legend at Ole Miss. The two-time All SEC player turned to coaching after graduation. Mississippi has lost a great man.
