Meanwhile LSU is 3-2 with Ben Simmons.



With 2 starters out

Bama lost to Dayton and Xavier by a combined score of about 50 points, so no room to talk.

Stick to football boys. It's what you do best. Basketball not so much.

We have nobody in the front court right now outside of Simmons. He cant guard 2 bigs at a time. You dont have clue #1 what you're talking about.

Once again, congrats on losing to Dayton and Xavier by a billion points.

We have the 3rd most SEC regular season championships and the 2nd most SEC tournament championships. If we can't talk basketball, then neither can anyone beside Kentucky.

Our top two scorers graduated along with our PG transferring out. Meanwhile, LSU lost to a Mark gottfried coached team by 10 with the top recruit in the country..:rofl:

I know Avery Johnson would be 5-0 right now with roster and that weakass schedule

We lost basically all of our scoring, aren't very talented, and are playing a very uptempo style. That is going to lead to getting blown out sometimes. You saw it happen to Auburn a few times last year.

No, they are better. Bama is second to only UK is SEC tourney titles and third (tied with UT) behind only UK and LSU in regular season titles.

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.



This, though if Kessens continues to fight the way he did vs ND, then this team can compete. Taylor is pretty much clueless.

This is pretty stupid. Bama is ranked 2nd in all time SEC victories and total victories among SEC schools, trailing of course Kentucky. No business talking basketball "ever"? Ridiculous.

If Alabama has no business discussing SEC basketball, then LSU definitely has no business discussing football. To put that into perspective, LSU would have to have 7 undefeated seasons in a row and Tennessee would have to win no games... just for LSU to catch Tennessee in all time wins, the second team place in the SEC. And that's discounting any success Georgia might have on the field.

I'm not buying the Avery Johnson hype until he coaches a game in a plaid sportscoat.
