I've tried basically everything including AT&T which is supposed to work anywhere. They said i can't get it bc I live on a dirt road and no one on that road has AT&T (or probably any internet bc they're all old people). Being that there's no one with wifi around me, they can't run the good wire out to my house bc it would cost them too much or something like that

We will get valuable players in Key and Riley back soon as well. We will have some depth and will not go extended minutes without baskets this season. That is a recipe for 20+ wins imo.
This isn't true. Every team except Alabama A&M and maybe Mercer is capable of beating us.

I agree with all of that. I just don't think 9-3 is the worst case scenario. It could go a lot worse than that even if we play okay.

Could you pay for part of the cost?

Donta Hall currently tied for 6th in the nation with 4 blocks/game
I know, I know...2 games.
as a team, 5th, with 8.5/game

quote:I'm not even completely sure that's why they won't do it. That's just the only reason I can think of. They just told us they can't run the wire out there unless a certain amount of houses in that area used the same wifi company. They didn't really give us any options or explain why.

I'd love it if we played Duke! Though I want to be very clear that I'm not implying we would be competitive

Collin Sexton’s 22 points vs Lipscomb were the most scored by an Alabama freshman in his first collegiate game in nearly 40 years. The last Tide freshman to accomplish the feat was former great Eddie Phillips who went for 25 vs Wagner on Nov. 24, 1978! #BuckleUp

My in laws have that problem. It would cost them like 4-8k to run a wire and they would have to pay all of it.

thanks for posting that. I was wondering about that very fact after the game Tuesday.

We lost by 10 to them four years ago. I think we could at least compete.

I wish we were playing Indiana tomorrow. We'd win by 30+, and then Watford could commit right after the game. Would be a melt the likes of which we've never seen.

They just announced a tournament we'll play in next year. Looks like a good field. Someone find it and post it.

I think we actually led in the 2nd half if I remember correctly and then Jabari Parker went off.

I'd pay for it if it meant having good internet

There's got to be a board this can be discussed on... I kid, I kid.
Charter quoted me a price of 10K/mile to run cable/internet to a house in the country.

I agree with the 22-23 win prediction. Way more talented roster than the last 2 years...And those teams won 18 and 19 games. I see 9-3 at worst in non conference. Having key and Norris back will be a huge lift, but the thing I'm seeing is that the freshman have the desire to play defense. That's encouraging because that's the hardest thing in basketball to do . U either have the want to or u don't. I think this team can do some great things.

some of you need to go back and watch the first 30 minutes of that game the other night against our crappy opponent. We were barely winning and they were missing wide open shots all over the court.
We may win 23 games but we won't playing like that. Look at more than the final score.
