Woods, talking to journalists on Thursday before the first round confrontation in the NCAA tournament, was asked what he remembered about the UA shipowner.

“He is a great player, we all know it,” Woods said. “But like us, he is human. Growing up with him, a very good player, he went to Ohio, played very well and then transferred to ‘Bama, he has been doing his own.”

Now, he and the colonials of 15 seeds will seek to achieve what would be one of the greatest discomfort of the NCAA tournament against Alabama.

Woods shared what he thought were the keys to achieve the unlikely.

“Doing things that made us win the Horizon League tournament,” Woods said. “Take care of our bodies. Rest knowing that it is an early game. That is the time we practice, so I feel that we will be well prepared for that time. And simply eliminating all the distractions.

Woods has averaged 15.1 points per game so far this season, along with 5.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds. He obtained the honors of the All-Borizon League of the second team.

Alabama and Robert Morris are scheduled to warn at 11:40 AM CT in Rocket Arena in Cleveland. The winner of the game will face the winner of Vanderbilt-Saint Mary’s.
