I like where the students are now, would be nice if we could have them all the way around the court. I'd be for a rebuild like Florida did to their place

Kentucky is a mess. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going and get a W in Rupp

I know we've beaten this to death, but watching the UK-AU game, it is blatantly obvious we need a new arena. We have enough extremely passionate basketball fans that can make it a true home-court advantage.


Painfully obvious. I mean look how close the fans are to the floor and the student section is perfect, like Duke's. Our students are tucked in a corner while the rest of Coleman is littered with empty seats ugh

I think Byrne and Avery are probably working on plans for something besides Coleman for basketball games.

We can beat Kentucky if we do what we've done lately. They seem to have lost confidence

Kentucky is going to probably come out and shoot 70% from the field

We got tiebreaker over UF and Mizzou has it over us. Should be Mizzou 3rd....Bama 4th..UF 5th. Is that right??

Yep we should be 4th ...Not really a big deal. Sometimes being a 5 sees works out better. That double bye isn't always a good thing

Nope. In fact, Coleman, as far as a structure and physical appearance is among the best. They're looking at redoing the inside seating area so the seats don't get farther away from the court as they go up. They're also looking at giving the students the first rows all around the court so it will be louder and more intense.

Kansas are about to get smacked around. I'm not sure Auburn or Alabama will get anything,


The only concern I'd have is that Bama beat KU for Sexton. If KU is offering $50k + and Bama isn't, well I don't think anyone is that good at recruiting

That doesn't mean there will be proof or evidence though that Bama did anything

We got Sexton because we built a relationship when he was an unknown. On top of that he comes from a very good , decent family. Kansas did come hard at him but he said the difference was Avery didn't promise him anything or coddle him.

As an aside, I do hope Coleman can be remodeled to bring the seats closer and more conducive for students to have a gameday effect.

I may be mistaken but I think Bama would actually be 3rd if they really applied the tiebreakers?

Bama-Missouri-Florida head to head is a wash since all three teams are 1-1 against the other two.

Bama would hold the advantage in the next tie-breaker, which is winning percentage against top seed, with win over AU?

You are correct. Bama is in 3rd place in the SEC from my understanding of the tiebreakers
