Happy Tuesday, everyone. Alabama plays at South Carolina tonight on SEC Network, with a delightful 5:30 pm tipoff. As usual we will have in depth coverage a bit later, but Nate Oats had this to say about his mercurial point guard. Related
The second-year Alabama coach speaks highly of Quinerly’s potential in the context of his inspired play during Alabama’s 21-2 run.
“I think he’s one of the better point guards in the country,” Oats said Monday of Quinerly when he’s making smart decisions with the ball and with his shot selections.
It’s up to the coaching staff, Oats said, to put him in the right position to meet his capabilities. The Missouri game was Quinerly’s second straight in double figures scoring after netting nine total points in the three previous games. He had 22 at LSU on Jan. 19 when he nailed 6 of 7 shots from 3-point range.
