Nate Oats’ squad will attempt to rebound from a disastrous second half within the final outing towards top-ranked Arizona. It was the primary time this season that the Tide seemed really overmatched in a recreation and needs to be instructive when it comes to which areas want addressed.
The issue is that the largest concern, rebounding the ball and holding opponents off the offensive glass particularly, might not be one thing that they’ll resolve for with the present roster, towards higher groups anyway.

Tonight the Tide will host a South Florida squad that shouldn’t be a lot bother if Alabama performs to its potential. The Bulls have rebounded the ball fairly effectively, albeit towards a comparatively weak schedule, averaging 15.5 offensive boards per recreation. Guard Joseph Pinion is a reputation to look at. He leads the Bulls in scoring and shoots 38% from three, and in addition averages higher than two steals per contest.
The Bulls usually run a 4 guard look with Izayiah Nelson and Daimion Collins rotating down low. Nelson has been significantly efficient on the glass, averaging greater than 9 boards a recreation in solely 24 minutes.
The Bulls are coached by longtime Oats assistant Bryan Hodgson, in his first season at South Florida after two at Arkansas State. Stylistically, anticipate one thing of a mirror picture on this one.
