But there is still some Tightening Up that needs to be done before Alabama can be considered a good basketball school.<\/p>\n<p>One major issue was the treatment of Young, the spectacular freshman. As soon as Alabama began having success against him, the Tide crowd began chanting \u201cOverrated!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing Alabama fans: Just because your team is doing well against a great player does not mean he\u2019s overrated. It could be &#8212; and I know this is a strange concept &#8212; that your team is actually good and that\u2019s why the opposing star isn\u2019t dominating the game.<\/p>\n<p>Second, there\u2019s no reason to poke the bear. Young was eventually going to show why he\u2019s going to be a lottery pick in the NBA draft after only one season.<br \/>\nYoung did show his considerable talent, making several incredible plays.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s anything but overrated. He just wasn\u2019t good enough to lead his team to a win over an improving Alabama squad.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think needs to Tighten Up? Call in and the best and most entertaining suggestion will win a $25 gift card from Wintzell\u2019s Oyster House.<br \/>\nFor Threaded Fasteners, I\u2019m Randy Kennedy with Tighten Up.<\/p>\n<p>An educated crowd is not overrated.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-425424-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/TightenUp012918a.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/TightenUp012918a.mp3\">http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/TightenUp012918a.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Alabama fans showed up in huge numbers Saturday for the Tide\u2019s basketball game against Oklahoma and star player Trae Young.
