The game went about as expected. I thought the Tide would win by 14, and the final score was 7xxxxx It was a very competitive, but not a game you thought the Tide might end up losing. Had the Tide made a decent number of their free throws, it was a 20+ win. What can you say about a game that looked like a pick game at you gym than a college game at times? It was sloppy, hard-fought, fun at times, and thankfully came to an end. It was a night when more important things put things in a better perspective. 
 

     None of that is to say that Alabama fans were not happy with some things they watched. Dazon Ingram made some spectacular plays showing everyone why he was Mr. Basketball last season. Retin Obasahan will make some level of All-SEC, although he'd rather be an academic All-American. The very athletic guard made some great baskets and his quick hands caused KSU a lot of problem. Edwards made a couple threes on a night when it was brick city for Bama.

      We told you the Yolan Jones was a spectacular player. He played a great game. I just wish it was against someone else. A one star player was brightest of all on Friday the 13th. Someone needs to put his hands in ice water to cool them off. One thing I didn't like was that Bama could never defend him. Most of his points were uncontested. It would be nice if one of the players stepped up to be a defensive star.
