While I agree with you 100%. Ingram gets the ball and just look weird with it if he isn't the main ball handler. He just isn't fluid unless he controls the rock. Even when he shot those threes last night he just looked so uncomfortable.

I've said before that under certain conditions, I'd like to see Ingram at a 3. He'd be a nightmare to guard.

So far in conference we've won two games then lost one. If that trend continues, we'd go Feb. 1 @ Arkansas L Feb. 4 Auburn W Feb. 7 @ South Carolina W Feb. 11 Kentucky L Feb. 15 @ Missouri W Feb. 18 LSU W Feb. 23 Georgia L Feb. 25 @ Texas A&M W Mar. 1 Ole Miss W Mar. 4 @ Tennessee L That doesn't seem unrealistic to me. We'd finish 19-11 (12-6)

Dang - pretty on point outside of Auburn

Welp - 2 straight home games, 1 we should win and 1 that will be tough but a team we beat by 20 a month ago.

If we can beat LSU and Georgia, head into the final 3 at 17-10 (10-5) and an RPI around 60 with games @ #101 A&M, vs #66 Ole Miss and @ #47 Tennessee.

At least it'll be interesting.

Basically - to even have a shot at the bubble we either have to

- win out and make it to Saturday (win first game)
- lose 1 game and then win 2 in the SECT

To feel like we really have a shot we need to win out and then get to the SECT Championship Game.

In other words, prepare for the NIT.

That's all solid information, but I'd like to point out that if we don't lose another game this season, we will win the national championship fwiw.

So if the women finish out with another win or two, here is the last 3 years. Better, right? Now awesome, but better than losing to Florida A&M and getting beat by 25 by ever decent SEC team.

(NPI is Warren Nolan's version of KenPom or BPI, basically is supposed to tell you how good a team is not how good their resume is)

2015 : 13-19 (2-14) (RPI 198) (NPI 223)
2016 : 15-16 (4-12) (RPI 159) (NPI 176)
2017 : 16-10 (4-9) (RPI 130) (NPI 116)

Alabama A&M, they of 0-19 and 349th RPI, agree with this statement.

How is it that the HBC in Huntsville is so bad at basketball, and the school for nerds (UAH) is so good?

And that's what I hate about tournament winners getting automatic bids.

BOL update on Diante Wood said he really loves Alabama but he also loves Auburn and just the SEC as a whole. That's basically all it said and it was VIP
