After a tumultuous weekend that I’m sure is still weighing quite heavily on the minds of the Crimson Tide players, it’s time to get back to the thing they love most - playing some ball. Alabama has a tricky week ahead of it, as the Tide will be traveling to a pair of locales where many of its predecessors have seen their hopes and dreams come crashing down - beginning with a date with Vanderbilt in the God-forbidden clown-house that is Memorial Gymnasium.
The ‘Dores are far from the toughest team Alabama has faced this season, but with the circumstances surrounding this game and Vandy’s hot offensive start to conference play, it might be a lot tighter than most would expect tonight.
