I've been following your updates. Sounds like USM made a late run OR did Bama let up?

Little bit of both. USM putting up three's and knocking them down. Bama having a few turnovers on their side of the court.

Early I think it said Ron did play. How did he look? Was he still limping or did he play like the old Ron?

 

[The Duke]

Davidson ended up 1 block shy of a triple double. Great game nonetheless.

Thanks for the updates. Good win over a pretty good team. Bama could be pretty scary when Steele is 100%.

By the way, how is RS?

To tell you the truth, I don't think he played but the first minute and a half. It may have been a couple of minutes, but he didn't really do much. Passed the ball around was about it. Said his ankle was still bothering him.

I tell you what, if Southern Miss had a couple more of their layups at the beginning of the ballgame fall, it would have been a lot more interesting game. It seems like they missed about ten layups to start the game. Great effort on their part though. Tough team.

Alabama now goes on to play North Carolina State wednesday night. Good luck guys.

Thanks Duke. Has the knee gone away? or was the ankle hurting worse I wonder.

They said it was his ankle that was still bothering him.

Justin Tubbs is coming on - This was a good win - Southern Miss does not go away

I don't think we can count on Ronald Steele - I am not implying anything negative about him just think his injuries will hamper him all year

Someone at Bama is doing some really good recruiting. I am pleased with this team and although I say this almost every year: I don't see us having better talent than we have right now

Thanks Duke, for the update on RS. BTW, how did Jemison look?

Demetrius Jemison- Huffman High School.

He logged 17 minutes of playing time. Went 0-1 from the field. 2-2 at the free throw line. Got 1 block shot and 2 defensive rebounds. He did a pretty good job on the defensive side of the ball covering his guy. As far as offense, Davidson-25, Gee-20, Hendrix-11, and Tubbs-10 pts, were the main contributors for the night.

Player of the Game: Jermareo Davidson: 25 pts, 11 rebounds, and 9 block shots. 9 for 12 from the free throw line and threw in 1 assist as well.

Ron Steele: Logged in just 4 minutes of play and 1 defensive rebound.

Ugliest stat: Alabama TO's-18......Southern Miss-8

Alabama now owns a 19-5 edge in the all-time series with Southern Miss.

Once again, great game by our guys in crimson tonight. Just want to thank them once again for coming down to Mobile and thank them for their time. Here are a few pics from the game.

According to comments by Gottfried after the game it looks like the knee is still the main concern. Steele said the pain in his knee was "too much" to handle.

I doubt he'll play a lot of minutes against NC State.
