BOL Round Table

Betting line is Bama (-2). Should be a good game, hopefully the outside shots are falling and we have to start getting some production from our bigs. They have been nonexistent thru 2 games.

Jacobs had such a promising post game last year. In the Kentucky game he basically owned Anthony Davis for half the game on offense. I know he has been limited by an injury but he has basically been a ghost, which is really bad considering we get nothing offensively from our twin towers

I watched OSU the other night playing New Mexico St and they look pretty average to me. I've watched all of Bama's games too and at times we look below average. Zero inside presence, and if the three point shot isn't falling we are in trouble. Plus we are just out of sync at the beginning of the game with Rele on the bench, maybe he's paid his dues and will be back in the starting line up tonight.

As far a the betting line (bama-2) I personally like OSU. Playing on the road in a big building with no one to go to down low...I just don't like our chances tonight. Gotta shoot the three well to win IMO. Hope we do.

Agree

I think almost as important as our shooting will be not committing 87 turnovers the first 5 minutes of the game

How coach Grant basically has no inside presence players is a mystery to me and I am sure to many others as well. Our recruiting philosophy is strange to me....go after wing players, more wing players and 2 guards and not any strong forwards is not a good formula for success. This year could be a washout unless we are lights out on shooting.

I imagine he is having a problem selling the program to recruits he wants. I don't understand how he couldn't recruit lights out with our superior facilities and rabid fan base.

I struggle with this question like you. It would make sense if we were running and gunning but we're not. We walk the ball up the court and play half court offense.Maybe we're going to play quicker as the year goes along. Right now we cant beat a good team with the collection of bigs we have unless we pick up the pace. We need to get out and run tonight.

We have 2 seven footers and I have not seen a dunk from either of them this year.

Well - our basketball facilities aren't that great and our fan base doesn't really care that much about basketball
