I "facepalmed" when you said Bama's roster was worse than ours and that we had six guys that could play for anyone.


I didn't realize we were so talented. Really impressive what a stacked roster Bruce has put together with less than two classes.

We beat Notre Dame at full strength on aneutral site and then took a top 15 Oregon team to the buzzer in Birmingham.

Obviously we were playing over our talent level, but I don't quite see how it's something that should be disqualified.

Then you were wrong. I'd trade rosters (for this season) in a heartbeat with you guys pre-Canty meltdown. Even after that, I probably would. That isn't taking into consideration team chemistry and coaching. Avery can take his'n and beat Bruce'ns and take Bruce'ns and beat his'n.

There goes that anger again...you really should talk to someone about that. There are people that "listen" as a profession.

I think we will be a bubble team again next year and hopefully improve the next.

Not sure grown men NBA players relationship growth with AJ can really be applied to 19-20 year olds.

Certainly not. I watched most of them though, and it gets frustrating seeing how much luck you've had the past bunch of seasons with miserable shooting. The Oregon game though I remember having a 'wtf' feeling because of how well you played. No fluke there. The pace was pretty fast.

No, but it will be something to watch. Just spitballing.

Oregon made great halftime adjustments that game. We had clearly found a chink, abused it for 20 minutes but Altman fixed it and it was a different game. It was really impressive.

Good for you, then. You should have no excuses in 2016-17.

It's just hilarious to see you guys downplay anything positive to what Alabama has done. It just screams butt hurt and ignorance.

Alabama has a good resume for the tournament? Clearly all fluke wins.

Alabama beats Auburn? Obviously officials cheated.

Avery doing a good job in his first year? He'll clearly regress next year, despite bringing in a top 15 class and losing only 2 players.

Alabama lost Dazon Ingram earlier in the year and has twon players that know how to dribble the basketball? No excuse, but Auburn has lost players too and it's unfair.

Not gonna lie, I fully expect to lose to Arkansas, Georgia or game 1 in Nashville to sink our hopes. I'm just glad it wasn't you guys to do it.

I feel little brotherish now, need a shower.

We've been gritty as heck this year, any way you look at it.

Are we bound to play UK twice a year for eternity? How on earth did we draw them twice two consecutive years?

We'll be fine next year as long as we can fill a hole at C, PF with a JUCO guy or fifth year transfer and replace Deen if he can't go after another surgery.

It's about as funny as acting like Alabama has zero talent at all and Avery is just playing chess and everyone is playing checkers.

There was talent there. He's doing a good job of getting it out of them. It's not like you have a bunch of Patrick Keim's running around out there.

Both teams aren't very good, but will improve each year. BB in the state is on the rise.
