South Alabama (1/5/12)

[CMJ]

Always tough to win on the road in conference. Not to mention USA seems like one of the better teams in the East. We'll see how much the young guys have grown up in this one.

USA won @ LSU

USA won @ LSU

That wasn't the same LSU team...at least mentally.

[glick1980]

After this game USA will have to rename their arena the Mitchell Center...oh wait....

[gksmith]

USA is 5-1 at home this season. That will be tough to beat.

[GrandGreen]

Should be a great match up between the league best player so far in USA's Rubit and Tony Mitchell. Rubit is the conference leader in both points and rebounds averaging nearly a double double. The kind of numbers Tony should begin to have. Mitchell is bigger and probably has more physical skills but Rubit has demonstrated what kind of player he is, while Mitchell has hopefully only scratched the surface of his potential. This would be a great time for Mitchell to really step up.

I think this should have been in the Men's game thread?

You have too much power

The Jaguars were 12-16, 6-10 last year – and have a lot of questions this year but a solid answer in sophomore center Augustine Rubit, the leagues freshman of the year last season. He was one of only two SBC players to average a double –double. A bit smallish for the middle at 6’6” and 235 but he still was the top rebounding freshman in the SBC and sixth in the country last season at 11.0 per game.

This will be a close game but we have enough overall talent to take a win in this one.

Pregame show on KNTU.

[NT03]

I really really really hope I'm wrong , but I think this is a blowout... And not in a good way

[CMJ]

I think tonight and Saturday is that way for me. We need to at least get a split.

Halftime

Jags go on a run to end the half.

[GrandGreen]

Horrible first half considering USA best player has been out. Mitchell go up and score, passing is great but your much more likely to score than NT's parameter shooters.

USA 35

Jags timeout

Mitchell EXPLODES...both on offense and defense. Already has a double double...just hit 2 treys.
