In the basketball scrimmage vs UAB. UAB returned all 5 starters from their tourney team.

Sword had 23 points and Gavin had 15/7.

Yes we sucked last year, but people don't realize just how good Sword was for us when he was healthy. Adding Malik is going to be huge for him. We may end up having the best starting backcourt in the SEC when it's all said and done.

Ware may be our most important player this season. We have zero depth in the post, so he has to consistently play well and stay healthy for us to have the season we want to have.

I had no idea you could have practice games against Div. I schools. How long has this been going on? That might have been worth going up to see if I'd known we were playing. BTW, that's very encouraging that we beat a legitimately decent team that bad without two of our best players. Although I think UAB did lose 1 starter from last year.

No public admission...I tried!

It's not supposed to be publicized. We scrimmaged them last year as well and lost.

I think this has been going on in college basketball for several years. Want to say this is at least the 4th year in a row we've had a private preseason scrimmage against UAB. I know we did every year Ray was here.

Shows how much attention I've been paying to college basketball the last few years. I'm looking forward to giving a **** after about mid-December.

Coaching was so bad under Ray. It was rip-your-hair-out bad sometimes.

Honestly I thought just having a good coach with last year's team would have resulted in a few more wins.

We're past it now and I'm appreciative of Ray for cleaning up the locker room. However, I think people are going to be blow away with how much our existing players improved individually.
