Crimson Tide report: Getting inside

"A little bit too late" was the way coach Mark Gottfried described Alabama's resurgence at the end of the season. It allowed the Tide to finish with a winning record, albeit only 17-16, for the eighth consecutive season.

That wasn't good enough to get the Tide into the postseason, but it does give the team some hope for 2008-09.

The Tide closed the regular season with an overtime victory over NCAA-bound Vanderbilt and beat Florida handily to open the SEC tournament. The Tide then took Western division winner Mississippi State to overtime before losing in the tourney quarterfinals.

Gottfried looked at the positives for the Tide after that finish.

"We beat Arkansas, beat Vandy, beat Florida," he said, ticking off the late wins. "I thought down at LSU we played great. We went down to Ole Miss and played for 39 minutes and 50 something seconds.

"I'll tell you, with our guys, I'm disappointed obviously, but I'll tell you, this group of guys, they played hard, they competed hard, they practiced hard, they were focused in mentally."

At the very least, it is something for the Tide to build on for next season. But the makeup of the roster leaves some question as to what the foundation for the 2008-09 club could be. Richard Hendrix went to the NBA and Ronald Steele, despite multiple knee surgeries, is still being counted on to contribute.

Ive been so caught up with football that i havent gotten a chance to check out the basketball team yet this year. So anybody thats been to some games how have they looked so far.

If nothing else i hope they're playing with energy. Last year the team just seemed flat due to Gottfried being a lame duck.

I know we still have two games before the Purdue game and a kinda big game for the football team, but clear you schedules for December 12th and have your butt in Coleman Coliseum to cheer us on against Purdue. Let's make Coleman loud and crazy!

I watched the Michigan vs Creighton game so I've seen both teams play. I think both Alabama and Michigan are equally matched. This is going to be a tough.. close game. I'll most likely watch this game. What's everyone else's opinion?

After a nice win against Providence, how does everyone think we will fare in this tournament. Hopefully we can get off to good start in the tournament and beat Baylor in the opening game.

Bama Defeated Jackson State Last night, wondering if anyone had any thought on the game? I listened to nearly the whole thing and it seems like this team plays with alot of heart, I think its going to be a tough season for us, but ill be right there pulling for my tide the whole time. We really lack a player who can put the ball on the floor and drive to the basket as well as a good spot up shoote ...(more)

Good win last night against a team I think is just as good as Cornell. We have enough talent to push the better teams. I think we're headed for maybe a 9-7 sec record, no better. It's good to see a nice crowd and the program headed in the right direction. RTR.

Ok this one counts. I'll be there in Coleman Saturday. I've heard that the crowds for the first two games were big. I'm hoping we have a big crowd Saturday. Cornell won't be a push over. I read where they're one of the best team out of the Ivy in a long time. They're also predicted to win two games in the NCAA. This will be a good game I'm telling you. Go to the game, football pregame on ride home ...(more)

Hey guys, in case you weren't able to go to the game tonight or didn't hear about the result..

We won 81-53.

Our overall style was very uptempo with a hard/scrappy defense. Defensively we looked like an elite squad, but our offense was pathetic at times. We knew that our offense was going to be 'iffy' considering our talent at the guard position. While it was dull for so
