I watched the replay of Bama-Vandy, Bama-Auburn, Bama-Mississippi State, Bama-Kentucky today. They were all disguised as Bama-LSU.
Same exact scenario, get the lead, lose the lead, fall apart, regroup, make it respectable. Lose.
I'm not going to criticize the coaching at all because I feel sorry for Coach Pearson.
He's in an impossible situation and doesn't really have time to implement a new system.
But this is the first game I've really sat down and watched since the first few games of the season. This is what I see.
We need our incoming coach to be a strict disciplinarian with an outstanding ability to teach basic fundamentals and defensive technique.
We've got some talent, athlete wise. But these poor kids need to be developed fundamentally into basketball players as much as any college team I've seen in quite a while.
Oh well....the story will unfold in due time.
Saddens me though to see what was a great basketball program at depths this low.
We're a pretty bad basketball team right now.
