The dividends of this preseason grinder will be paid in March. RTR.

I saw a little bit of Dennis Rodman in Bristow the way he can move his feet and guard multiple positions, and how he seems to always be around the ball, tipping it and fighting for rebounds.

He is also a lot bigger than he was listed on 247 and also on the Tarleton State website from last year. On 247 he was listed as 6'-7, 185. Tarleton had him at 6'-8". Now, when you click on 247 it matches rolltide.com, which is 6'-10", 205. He must have still been growing since he started at Tarleton. He looks like what he's currently listed as.

I'm not following what you mean by this. I'm expecting to go D'oh, when it's explained.

Sorry. 8 in heavy 15+ minutes rotation. 3 with light minutes each game.

I started to watch it on YouTube last night through my SmartTV and it was well over an hour. I wanted to see what they said about Bama but didn’t want to try and find it with the clunky TV controls.

Foxs1 announcers were complimentary of Bama and CNS. They said this is the kind of game you'd expect to watch in the Elite Eight.

Of course with the game on before they had 4 of the top teams playing Wednesday night back to back. Good for their network.

It was a fun game to watch. They played lights out in the 1st half but couldn't pull away. I knew as that was happening we had a good shot at them in the second half.

We never led until about the 18 minute mark of the second half, but after we got the lead I don't think we ever gave it back. They pulled to with 2 or 3 with about 2 minutes or so but then when Philon hit that 3 from the logo they were done!

Want to give a big shout-out to Holloway. His defense has gotten so much better. Of course, it's Bristow who had the coming out party in this one. It was a great win that will be big for our confidence!

We got Gonzaga up next. Oats does not play around with scheduling at all. 4 straight ranked teams.
