Bama Basketball Breakdown: Arkansas State

Alabama’s disheartening 67-54 loss to the Clemson Tigers (8-2) in Birmingham on Sunday confirmed what many fans have feared: this is not a very good basketball team right now. After last season’s pleasantly surprising debut under Avery Johnson, many expected the Tide to take a big step forward in 2016-17. That simply has not been the case. Alabama doesn’t shoot well, turnovers have been way too prevalent, Dazon Ingram seems to be the only guy on the team who knows how to make quality, threatening passes, free throw shooting and rebounding woes have continued, and there doesn’t seem to be much of a sense of urgency with this group.
