Message: [QUOTE="JeffConn, post: 4438969, member: 11822"] Tonight, Alabama will probably bring some serious game pressure which our guys really haven't faced yet. It should be a good test. Alabama's Coach Oates may now have more big game experience (and success) than Hurley. Hopefully our coach and players continue to grow and carry on with self control. While Clingan indicates he's benefitted from practicing against Sanogo, Adama may be benefitting as well from practicing daily against Donovan and his length. Sanogo has had some problems with long centers; his two games last year against the Creighton guy come to mind. He started slowly last night and dealt with potential foul trouble against Oregon, but continued to play smart and hard to help the team. How tall is Sanogo really? Maybe it's because of his impressive bulk, but to me, he looks like a short 6'9" against 7 footers. Last night, Karaben appeared to put aside his scoring to focus on defense and rebounding to help neutralize Oregon's bigs. Hawkins appears to be more resilient and mature, keeping his emotions under control. Jackson brings toughness, constant energy and leadership. His shooting mechanics appear to have speeded up, but are still not optimal; some unneeded wrist action? [/QUOTE]
