I know we should just be happy to be in, but I really do hope we snag a win just so we can break another streak.

the only problem is we wont continue to play in the same gym, so I wouldn't count on Petty being able to shoot when we go to a different place. Hopefully I am wrong.

Ingram gives some decent performances. Key needs the off season badly

On TBS.....they are gonna announce the teams in alphabetical order first then reveal the brackets later on. So we should know fairly soon if we are in.


Since the Braves left I only tune into to TBS for Basketball. I couldnt tell you what they show.

...then I'd have to ask them what's he "very good" at?..he's adequate in some areas (good size and athletic), but he can't beat you with any particular basketball skill...hell, I wish he could!

I catch Seinfeld on TBS. They have switched times around so I don't see it much now

He's a solid starter that has the potential to be a great player, but is showing no progress. That can easily change because 90% of his problems are mental. Ingram has the potential to be our best scorer next year, but he has to stay aggressive and confident. If he had Sexton's aggressiveness and confidence, he could easily be averaging 16 ppg.

If we end up in Nashville, I may try and make it.

That would be cool.

He's a very good ball handler, for his size he's a very good rebounder, he's a good defender, he's good at driving the ball, good passer.

I don't think he's All-SEC level, but I think he can be. Especially if develops an outside shot.

Where's the greatness gonna come from? His handle is poor, he's got no intermediate range shot and his 3 point ranges is very iffy. He's athletic, but not overly quick, and his first step is average...I'm just not seeing it.

Our bars are obviously set at different levels, so we'll have to agree to disagree.

If we don't get in, then frick everything. All their quadrant and strength of schedule stuff is flat out shite. I'll be furious at the committee


We're safe. They'll be panned by everyone (except maybe Vitale) if we miss out. They've been preaching strong SOS for years now, and this is the first year they've started using Q1 wins (we have the 6th most in NCAA) as the main measuring stick. Wouldn't surprise me to see us as a 7 or 8 seed tomorrow and UNC as a 1-seed so they can try to establish their new criteria.

2006. There are freshmen entering UA that don't have conscious memories of our last NCAA Tournament win.


In that time, we've had 4 baseball coaches, won a natty in softball, 2 in gymnastics, 4 in golf, 5 in football, nearly turned over every restaurant on The Strip. Knocked down Rose Towers, Somerville and built an entire Engineering campus.

Nick Saban was in the NFL
Tennessee had our number
Auburn had a streak
John Parker Wilson was our future
Mitch Mustain was Arkansas' future
USC was THE dynasty.
