Thoughts on Alabama’s Win Over Ole Miss

[Jordan Harper]

If you look at the stat sheet, you wonder how Alabama won by over 20 points, because pretty much everything is even. The main difference was Alabama being +21 from 3 and the margin of victory was 22. Alabama controlled this game all the way through and did whatever they wanted on both ends of the floor.

On offense they penetrated the lane at Will and had some open kick outs and alley oops in the paint. On defense they pushed Ole Miss around and forced long jump shots countless times. It was a great gameplan and it showed the talent and athletic advantage that Alabama had.

Brandon Miller makes playing basketball look easy. Some of the moves and plays he was making were silly. He finished with 17 and Sears finished with 16. Those two seems to consistently lead Bama in scoring. Jaden Bradley was very aggressive last night and went 10/12 from the free throw line, plus Jahvon Quinerly played within his role and did extremely well.

Alabama got outrebounded, gave up 16 second chance points, and were blocked 8 times but still won by 22. This team is deep, they play together, and every player plays within their role. Also, when they only turn it over 7 times like they did tonight, they’re nearly unstoppable. Big game this Saturday.

in my viewpoint there is no doubt we are an elite b-ball team this year. Our depth is incredible. How far we go is anyone‘s guess but the pieces are in place for great things to happen.

stating the obvious but BM is different. Reminds me of a young KD.
Team is super talented and plays with a blue collar mentality. With a little luck in the injury department, Bama could be F4.

The turnover # is what I really liked last night. I think it was a real factor when you consider every thing. I hope this continues with UK Saturday.

This team has potential. The majority of these guys are still gaining confidence and gradually improving from game to game.
If they continue on this pattern they might win the whole damn tournament.

This team(individual players) could get a whole lot better! And that's crazy.

I don’t know what the overall FT stats were last night but when you limit turnovers to 7 and hit a good percentage of your FTs you usually win. Hopefully the low turnovers will continue! RTR!

On one play last night Bediako had too much 'alley" and not enough "oop".

By the end of this month, Bama will know a lot about it self as a Elite Basketball team. The SEC schedule for Bama in January is Brutal.
