Know Thy Foe: Alabama Basketball

The first thing that surprised me when I looked into the Alabama Men's Basketball Team was this -- they enter the NCAA Tournament on a THREE GAME LOSING STREAK.  

In fact, Bama is 6 - 7 their last 13 games.  They earned their #6 seed with some impressive wins in December & January over; Gonzaga, Houston, Tennessee, LSU and Baylor.

Anyway -- here's what we should expect from Bama; they are a fast, athletic, guard oriented offensive attack.

STARTING LINE-UP:

• F:  Noah Gurley -- 6'-8"  (SR)
  
• C: Charles Bediako -- 7'-0"  (FR)
  
• G: Keon Ellis -- 6'-7"  (SR)
  
• G: Jaden Shackelford -- 6'-3" (JR)
  
• G: Jahvon Quinerly -- 6'-1" (JR)

 

KEY RESERVES:

• F: James Rojas -- 6'-8" (SR)
  
• F: Darius Miles -- 6'-6" (SO)
  
• F: Juwan Gary -- 6'-6" (SO)
  
• G: Jusaun Holt -- 6'-6" (FR)
  
• G: JD Davison -- 6'-3" (FR)

• Jaden Shackelford:  16.7 pts. 
• Javon Quinerly:  14.3 pts.
• Keon Ellis:  12 pts
• JD Davison:  8.5 pts
