Consistency hasn't really been in Taylor's vocabulary, but he's also never been that big of an animal in a game before. Hopefully it continues against LSU.

This article talks about us being on the bubble and mentions Jimmie Taylor, saying he could potentially be a candidate for SEC defensive player of the year LINK

I feel like Norris and Edwards are the keys to Alabama hitting that next level. These guys seeing the light and going all Neo on everyone..... I don't even know what that means, but it felt good to say.

Can't count out Coleman either. Gotta give Coleman credit this year. When Retin has been in foul trouble or had an off game, he's stepped up. Now if he could just do it without that and stop trying to drive the lanes against a big man

Just for he record, what everyone is describing with Taylor, Hall, Edwards, Norris, Coleman, and even Retin is this thing called player development.

It has been a LONG time since that happened in basketball at Alabama.

Just wish we could have had CAJ with Releford, Levi, Cooper, and Lacey

That shite would have been scary. He would have developed them and created a pipeline for elite players in and out of state

Here's some reactions from our 2016 class after beating Florida. Good to see Ferguson is still wanting to be here LINK

New bracketology for ESPN has us as the first four out.

Vandy in

I guess they're looking at the head to head game but I don't understand why they would when it looks like our resume is more impressive

Not sure how we drop out after beating Florida @ Florida.

He moved us up from the next four out to first four out. I don't see how he has Vandy over us or LSU a 7 seed. I'll just stick with Palm's projection being the only one that matters.

The head to head loss is tough.

I think we have to win out at home, and win a road game (@UGA being the most likely) to make it in.

Winning @LSU would put us in a position to control our destiny IMO.

I really feel like that's gonna happen. The way they have played lately, it wouldn't surprise me if we won every game except @UK. Don't expect it to happen, but it could

I agree. Simmons is going to get his, but you limit their other shot makers and LSU becomes a lot less imposing. I also think they may look past us a little bit.

As long as The Tide keeps it competitive @UK I'll be happy.

Joe Lunardi said if he was betting on whether we would make the tourney or not, he would bet we didn't. He said he thinks we will come up a little bit short of the tourney. He said he doesn't think we'll beat LSU, Kentucky, or Georgia and that we need to beat LSU or Kentucky to have a real good shot. Here's the article LINK

I don't understand what more Bama has to do. He has Vandy getting in, yet they're sitting at 13-9 and still have to play UK, @Florida, and @A&M.

And why does Alabama get penalized for VanVleet getting injured for WSU? Guess that win shouldn't count, even though Alabama lost Ingram for the entire season and Hale missed the Oregon game.
