what's up guys congrats on the 12 seed.
trust me there's no disrespect coming from Bama fans cause we are "overlooking" this game. that's not true. the truth is we just don't see the press/lack of depth being that much of an issue.
you guys have had a great season in a small league, i don't think that there's anything you guys can throw at us that would cause us too much trouble. several teams have tried to press us. i don't remember any of them causing us any trouble. all of our guys can handle the rock and 4 of them have brought the ball up the court consistantly in press situations.
our PG is a freak, he hardly ever turns the ball over and i can only think of one time that the ball has been "taken" from him. he's a one man press break and passes the ball with deadly accuracy. he had a game this season with 18 asst and 0 TOs (that's hard to do playin 2 on 2.)
the games that we lost were due to poor shooting only, if Shelton starts hitting early it can get ugly. teams that have pressed us (Kentucky, Arkansas, Ole Miss and others) haven't had much success. i know you guys "specialize" in pressing but i just don't think you have the talent level (across the board) to keep up with us.
i'm not talking trash and i respect what you guys have done but, you can understand that as a Bama fan, it would be hard to think that a team that has been ranked all year, won it's division in a power conference and ALL starting 5 make the ALL SEC team, it would be a huge dissappoint to not make it out of the first round.
not looking past you, just expecting a win is all. have fun tommorrow and if the moon and the sun line up perfectly for you and you get the W so be it. but we should weather your press and win as far as i see it.
