South Alabama pregame

They are 2-10 so far. Both wins were over non-D1 teams. However, they lost in OT to Middle Tennessee, IUPUI and Ark State, so with a few breaks their record could have been somewhat better. Their front line goes 6-9, 6-6, 6-3. They have three 6-8 players on the roster.

This is a team that suffers from myopia (they can't find the basket). They shoot 39.5% overall and 31.3% from the arc. On the flip side, their perimeter defense is very good as they hold opponents 30.2% from the three-point circle. They rebound basically even. They have two players who average in double figures.

Sagarin picks us by 8.
RealtimeRPI picks us by 16.

The first two games did not prove much, except that we are not as good as the teams we assumed were better than we were. If we do not win this one fairly easily at home, it is time to be worried.
