Alabama 78 Mississippi State 51

2 Thoughts:

1. Avery and Howland were both hired the same year with similar obstacles and have recruited similar recruiting classes. The fact the gap is this big is concerning. In 2016 the teams split and it looked like a good rivalry. But in 2017 Alabama and State met in the first conference game and in STates last conference game. ALabama looked slightly better in January and not even in the same level in the SEC Tournament. Alabama went 3-0 last season and State seemed like they digressed while Alabama seemed like they improved. That is the most concerning thing of all.

2. I miss this rivalry. Since Stansbury left we have lost 8 of the last 9. I wish we cared more about this rivalry. Now we just expect to take the licks.

Alabama was in the postseason 4 of the 5 years before Avery was hired. Avery inherited a talented roster. We won 37 games the 3 seasons before howland was hired, and howland inherited 1 talented player (incoming freshman, Q).

If Sexton is out then we may have a chance. I don’t see Petty going off like he did last night two games in a row.

I think Bama is going to contend for the conference title, so I don’t see us winning in that building this year. I do think we can beat them at The Hump, though.

If I don't: MSU 67, Bama 61

I would argue Craig Sword and Gavin Ware were also pretty decent players.
