Thoughts on Alabama Dismantling Kentucky 78-52

What am emphatic win where if you didn't believe that Alabama was good, you believe now. Alabama played incredibly defense, didn't turn the ball over, and got a balanced scoring effort.

Alabama started off to a very quick start on a 11-2 run, before it becoming a 16-15 game halfway through the first half. It was a nip and tuck game for a while, but Alabama had an 8-2 run at the end of the half to take a 35-24 lead into half time. After halftime, it was all Alabama outscoring UK 43-28. Kentucky dominated the offensive boards 20-8 and won the overall rebounding battle, but held UK to 28% shooting. I didn't think Alabama played a flawless game, but their gameplan sure was in bringing Oscar out to the perimeter and make him defend ball screens. Early on Charles and Noah dominated him on the roll and that is why he played sparingly the whole game.

Brandon Miller started slow, but showed why he will likely be a top 5 pick in the NBA draft with his speed, athleticism, and his incredible shooting and touch around the rim. Mark Sears played a great game as usual, but Quinerly has strung together a few great games together. He has become that third PG that Alabama desperately needed and has been incredible breaking down the defense.

Alabama faces another tough test next week at Arkansas, but Alabama showed today that they are at the top of the SEC right now and sent a message.

Episode 30 of The Double Dribble Podcast

I breakdown Alabama's HISTORIC win over Kentucky, as well as break down Alabama's upcoming matchups at Arkansas and against LSU.

Give me your best early look at '23's front 7 depth chart.....

I'm guessing the mods will put up one at some point but thought I'd take a stab at it and how it stacks up with how you guys see it.

DE- Jamel Buroughs- Yhonzae Pierre
DT- Jahiem Oatis- James Smith
DE- Tim Smith- Jordan Renaud

OLB- Dallas Turner- Keon Keeley
OLB- Chris Braswell- Jeremiah Alexander

ILB- Deontae Lawson- -Justin Jefferson-Shawn Murphy
ILB- Jihaad Campbell- Jaquavious Russaw-Kendrick Blackshire

As mentioned from another thread, I think it's paramount to actively rotate getting guys playing time so they can have some ownership at their positions and the team as a whole. Also, looking forward to seeing the new guys cutting their teeth on special teams. The '23 class is a monster!
