TRAP GAME?

IS STATE A TRAP GAME FOR BAMA?

       

       Trap games. You hear that term in football every season. The same applies for basketball as well. You just rarely hear the term. Alabama has four trap games left this season. They are Mississippi State, Auburn, Arkansas, and whoever is unlucky to draw the Tide,  Seriously, the game today is between two teams closely matched in talent level. The Crimson beat State in Starkville because the Alabama guards shut down the outside shooting of Malik Newman and company. Look for State to have some new sets to try to free up their outside game. On the plus side for the Tide, Taylor has stepped up his game. Gavin Ware is one of the most overlooked players in the SEC.

      Like it or not, the  Tide may not recover from losing any home game on the remaining schedule. Sorry if you disagree. If we do, we'll have to beat Kentucky or make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. The Tide needs just to keep winning and hope one of the lower ranked teams pulls off an upset. Do I think we win today? Yes. Am I worried? Very.
