Last night the team was not mentally in Columbia, South Carolina. The distraction of Tuesday definitely took a toll on the team. Only two of the starters were mentally prepared for the game. It looked like Bediako wasn’t going to let anything affect him and Miller withdrew from the distractions to totally focus on Basketball, as a distraction to what was going on outside.
i think coming home adversely affected Clooney, Sears mother obviously affected his game, Pringle was trying to hard, Bradley was going through the motions and was forgetting to look at the rim. The announcers said before the game that Alabama was dragging through warmups and was not the usual loose team. I don’t know how much the outside factors affected last nights game, but this team better get focused before Saturday, because a really good Arkansas team is coming to town and the games get just as hard after that game. It is clear now that the game Saturday a week will be for the Regular Season SEC Title. If this team does not get it’s focus and swagger back, we could easily lose all three.
