I suppose in a rebuilding year every game is pivotal.  But I sense this game is a cut about that in importance.  For  a quarter and a half we playing nose to nose with a final four team of last year and likely to be this year.  That stretch was by far the best we had played all year and against topflight competition at that.  We also did it on the road - which is significant in itself - we played about as well as we could play before we ran out of steam.

If we got anything from that game, from that stretch, and we are able to build upon that against Bama at home, it should show up in a solid victory.  This game will prove the progress of this team one way or another.  It would not be the end of the world or the program if we lost, but it would certainly be a major setback. 

Bama has a 6-5 and a 6-3 girl (Walker and Knight who are both sophomores) who play the bulk of the minutes at center (no twin tower looks) - they have played 35, and 30 minutes combined in their two games of conference play.  They have combined for 10 and 13 points respectively in those two conference games.  they have combined for two and 10 boards respectively in those two games as well.

They are not significant low post scoring options.  The bulk of the tide offense is in their guards as it is with our team.  As such we match up well with them.  If we win this game, particularly if we win convincingly, it will put us at 2-1 and in a better position for the road trip coming up.

game time is at 3pm on Sunday - support the team at Bud if you are able - otherwise the game will be broadcast on the SECTV network via internet if you dont have any other package that provides it.  It has now been picked up by the network on their broadcast channel, not just via internet.

After watching Tennessee against Vanderbilt today, I would have to say that they are definitely beatable.

from what I can see all the teams in the conference are beatable -  SC losing to Mizzou, cunningham is back and with 25 points - and Tenner and MS State both looked beatable today

Part of the reason why SC and Ms State look beatable is because they are playing on the road today.
