Alabama finished 8th last year with a joke of a head coach then brought in a winning NBA coach. To think we'd be a laughing stock in basketball this season was pathetic.

This team at least finishes close to middle of the pack. Given the last couple games maybe a tad better.

Bama football is almost over... shouldn't you be switching to UK basketball by now?

dude, we're an ok team with some bad blow outs and right now, some flashes of brilliance. I wouldn't start chest thumping quite yet.

We haven't even gotten beyond the championship games, bowl discussion and coaching changes.

Must we discuss basketball before December?

I don't think any of the pundits knew you had a Heisman winner at your school when they made these picks. I bet it would be different today.

Alabama fans have no business ever talking basketball. Ever.

We beat Xavier last year and finished almost last in the conference. Do you understand how basketball works?

frick UK.

Oh and Kentucky is only 19-18 in Coleman Coliseum as opposed to 16-12 Thompson-Boling. If you are unaware Kentucky's worst record of all SEC basketball arenas is in Coleman.

We can play Basketball too.

Nobody thinks we have a GREAT team. But I told y'all we'd be better than thirteenth in the conference. And we will.

I thought we would finish better than 13th, but I can see their reasoning. We were left with very little talent and lost our top 3 scorers. Our best player has to sit out a year.

Basically all of this. Ton of unknowns about this team including the coach.

Historically Alabama is in the top half of the SEC in basketball.
