Disagree. Their top 3 players(Van Vleet, Baker, Carter) are better than our top 3 players, overall. Now, top to bottom we may have more talent.

They're not as good as last season, but they're still a potential Sweet 16, or further, team. They play great defense, have a great PG, a guy that can shoot lights out from 3 range, and a good inside man. That's really all it takes to make a run in the tourney.

Not trying to sugar coat the loss, as losing an 11 point lead in the final 5 minutes is dreadful. That shouldn't happen. But had you told me before the game we'd have the ball with 10 seconds left in the game with a chance to win it, I'd have taken that.

I said to myself when we were up by 11 or so at the 5 minute mark....."Alabama will find a way to frick this up" boy was that an understatement because the way that team collapsed left me speechless. It was so.....GRANT.

Sorry, just not impressed by them at all. Hell we couldn't even win at AU last season and to choke away that game against supposedly the #11?

You guys can boast them up as much as you like to make you feel better.

They've actually been much improved on offense this season, and weren't horrible last night despite the score.

Sunshine pumpers are always in attack mode until tshtf, then they come out as realists all along.

No we are winning more than 15 games. That's not sarcasm at all. Get your alter ready for when the banning starts.

Saying that we won't win 15 games isn't being a realist... It's called being a dumbass. You sure are confident that a team currently ranked 19th in RPI and 6-3 overall won't win half their games. You MIGHT be overreacting a little to a one point loss to a top 15 team in currently one of the most hostile environments in CBB. Sure we choked which doesn't bode well for our postseason aspirations, but passing 15 wins isn't in question at all...

Im not leaving if they win 16 or more games because you wont leave if they don't.

Do you and Hunter Johnson have bro dates where you fawn over Anthony Grant?

So you agree to a ban bet, see how much of a dumbass you are, and then decide you're now against it? Ok
