Scouting report: Early in the season, the Tide was ranked No. 1 after nonconference wins over Oklahoma and Xavier, but they stumbled through the conference season and barely squeezed into the tourney. ... Dudley is a monster on the boards. He led the conference in rebounding for the third straight season and was the SEC player of the year in 2002. He's shooting 54 percent.
