Live by the 3, die by the 3. All season the Crimson Tide has depended on making 3-point shots as part of the high octane Nate Oats offense. On this day, Alabama connected on just 4-of-21 attempts behind the arc. The team fought hard but lost to Kentucky on the road Saturday 76-67.

Tide pulls away from Dogs for Oats’ first SEC win
Somebody was going to be 0-2 in the SEC after Wednesday night’s Mississippi State at Alabama basketball game at Coleman Coliseum. Neither the Tide nor the Bulldogs wanted to be that somebody. Alabama was able to pull away in the second half and beat the Bulldogs by a 90-69 score to go to 8-6, 1-1 SEC. State fell to 9-5, 0-2. The game was Alabama’s fifth straight to hit the 90-point mark.

Tua's press conference
Tua announces decision
I snapped this photo of Tua today as he was waiting to announce his departure to the NFL. A very tough decision for a young man who truly loved his time at Alabama. I've been watching Alabama football for 50-plus years. Hard for me to say I've ever seen one better than Tua.

Sunday morning thoughts on junior decisions
To this point, I haven't posted much on the juniors, because it's very difficult to predict these things. I won't make any strong predictions this morning (maybe later today I'll have more), but I'll share a few of my "feelings" based on numerous conversations I've had the last four days.
Tide blows big road lead; drops SEC opener
A 21-point first half lead in Gainesville, Fla. seemed promising, but as has been the case so many times the past decade, Alabama’s basketball team couldn’t stand prosperity. The Tide allowed Florida to rally and eventually win in double overtime, 104-98. Three Gators posted double-doubles. Three Tiders fouled out. Such is life on the road in this league.
