My hope is the last 2 games gave everyone else confidence and adding Collin back in will only elevate it more.

That's my hope.

Dazon has been doing some work on the board these past 3 games.

I don't know what's sparked Petty to elevate his game, but I sure hope he continues to distribute the ball as well as he's been doing.

The biggest benefit to having Sexton back (other than the obvious) is Jr seeing fewer minutes. He should see no minutes, but I'll gladly take 8-10 over 15-20.

Yea Jr didn't play bad last night at all.

I thought Petty was pretty non-exixtant in the 2nd half if anything until that shot at the end which was obviously big. Petty needs to get back on D. He flat out was lazy as shite several times last night on the break, usually after his shots didn't go in.

Giddens played well, sort of faded late but a good effort nonethless.

I didn't think the crowd was bad, probably a bit over 14,000 there. When you only score 14 points in 15 minutes, there's not much to cheer about. They were good in the first half.

I'll take the W...one at a time.

Beat Ole Miss!

@Ole Miss is always tough.

A projected 9 or 10 seed at this point in the season is anything but safely in. Lose to Ole Miss and Oklahoma in our next two games and we are back in first four out/next four out territory. We need 20 wins to be safely in. 18 or 19 = bubble. 17 or less and we'd need to win the conference tournament.

Sounds like you are talking about whether if the season ended today if you are "safely in"

Seems like Robot was talking about whether Bama is "safely in" even if they have a disappointing finish to the year. Example: Virginia is safely in, they could finish 4-8 or 5-7 and they will probably be safely in

Agree on us not being safely in yet, but 19 wins on this schedule is pretty much a lock.

19W isn't unreasonable expectation, but I'd say it is far from a lock. I know you aren't a predictive rankigns person, but I'll stil point out that none (KenPom, ESPN BPI, TeamRankings) have Bama winning 19+W

From teamrankings.com:

69.4% chance to make the NCAA tourney

18 wins give Bama a 46.6% chance to get in

19 wins gives Bama a 81.7% chance

TeamRankings includes SECT wins (Which Bama is prob favored to win at least 1), which I assume you weren't using based on your comment that "19 wins on this schedule is pretty much a

I think TR gives 18.4W for Bama right now. My point was more you claiming 19W was a "lock"
