re: Basketball in Alabama...

Point was more the fact that Alabama under Oats is currently on almost the exact same trajectory that Auburn was under Pearl if you start Pearl's clock at year 3 (which is fair given the dumpster fire he inherited and had to build out of).

Alabama is a #4/5 seed in the NCAAT and probably going to be ranked when the AP poll comes out today.

Agreed. I don't think the floor at Bama is as low as ours so the build isn't as big, and I think Oats is about where he needs to be.

Even in what may be a "down" or "gap" year, Bama is still playing OK against the toughest schedule in the country and should dance.
