The original email stated Alabama men’s basketball players and Nate Oats would meet with reporters at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
A follow-up pushed the post-practice briefing back to 2 p.m., and players Charles Bediako and Jaden Bradley arrived at 2:32 p.m.With No. 15 Gonzaga next up Saturday in Birmingham and the Crimson Tide getting Wednesday off following an eventful win over Memphis, there was a lot on the plate for a Thursday practice that went a little longer than expected.
Turnovers, transition defense and the fact Memphis scored 11 points in the final 47 seconds weren’t sitting well with Oats. The fact a power program like Gonzaga was coming to the BJCC for the noon CT tip on CBS made for some extra instruction. The end-of-game situational drills weren’t going as planned, and since this visit from Gonzaga figures to come down to the end, Oats wasn’t settling for the first effort.
Gonzaga arrives having played one of the strongest schedules in the nation and all three losses came to teams among the top 11 in this week’s AP poll. The Bulldogs are 2-3 in the five games against Quad 1 teams in the NET compared to Alabama, which is 2-1 in its three such games.
