Happy Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Eid, Solstice, Arbor Day, etc. Now that GW's gift, a win, has come and gone, it's time to face a slightly better foe - the Crimson Tide of Alabama. Alabama is 9-3 with wins over Iowa State, Missouri State, and Southern Miss, and losses to Georgetown, Texas A&M, and Belmont (?). The team is led by Richard Hendrix, who's a 6'9", 255 pound forward averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds a game. Yikes. There's also Alonzo Gee (willikers) who's averaging 15.2 and 7.6, and Mykal Riley, who is at 14.2 and 4.2. As a team, they're shooting .486 and getting 4 more boards than their opponents. This looks tough.
If GW can contain Hendrix (that's a big if) this might be a good game. Otherwise, watch out.
This game is in Tuscaloosa at 6 pm Eastern and it isn't on regular TV, but will be on Comcast Sports South and also on ESPN Full Court package. It will be on 1050 AM radio and WRGW.
Here's Bama's preview.
UPDATE: And hopefully Rice will play. No word on that yet, so stay tuned.
