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)

 

TOP SCORERS:

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

 

KEY STATS: BAMA vs. NOTRE DAME  

  • Points Per Game:  80 vs. 72.5
  • Shooting %:  44.1% vs. 46.2%
  • 3 Pt %: 30.8% vs. 38%
  • Total 3's Made:  297 vs. 293
  • FT %:  73% vs. 75.8%
  • Turnovers Per Game:  14.6 vs. 10.3

Can you believe it!!!

  1. Points in the PAINT!
  2. Gut check defense on an in-bounds play...
