Tide is demolished in Dayton

Bama bust on first road trip




     
That was horrible on so many levels you can't find a place to start. How about just saying it was the worst basketball performance I've ever seen from an Alabama basketball team. I say that with no disrespect. It was only an observation. A team with lots of new players, playing under a new coach, with a  new system is going to give you a few of those nights. Honestly, the only thing you can say about the team was they played hard.

       I believe that great effort will bring better results in the future as the season progresses. it is pretty clear that we have a long way to go.  Much further than I believed. Time will tell about this present team but I do have faith in the long-term future of Tide hoops. One poster may have said it best when he speculated that the program has run into the ground since the departure of Wimp Sanderson. 

       This loss today was bad as anything you can witness. It shouldn't take it of the luster off our new  coach and hopefully new found fan enthusiasm. We simply do not have the offenive players to dribble penetrate at this time. It seems pretty clear that Coleman and Ingram need some real time on the floor to help establish some semblance of offensive play. However; one thing can be fixed and fixed quickly. The defensive effort today was just not there. Defense is the result of courage and guts. I saw neither on the defensive end.  We were picked 13th out of 14 teams in the SEC. I picked up 10th. 

      This team has only way to go. When you only score 48 points something is wrong. By the way, the best Dayton player barely played today.
