Had there been an internet then, you can rest assured there would have been a vocal group of fans saying it was time to move on from Wimp after following up a sweet 16 loss where the team was a legit final-4 contender with a losing seaso

likely so but they would have been idiots



projections:

SI:
10) Ala vs 7) Creighton (kansas next)
cbs:
10) Ala vs 7) TCU (UNC next)
espn:
9) Alabama vs 8) Creighton (UVa next in Charlotte)

My dream scenario is to be a 10 with Cincinatti as the 2. I think we would have a legit Sweet 16 shot with that draw.

I could see us being better and surprising alot of people next year. Like was mentioned, young players tend to get better with more experience...If herb and petty develop some consistency and key, hall, and Ingram become the leaders they can be we ll be fine. We ve seen what we can be when all things are clicking.

Probably one of the best case scenarios for us. I'll be happy with any scenario where we're not lined up to face Virginia in the 2nd round. That would really suck.

He was on the front row of the student section every game I attended, not sure who he is though.

Nashville would be good for us not only so our fanbase could attend but it would give Hall an extra day to get back.

Kentucky is a different animal in March. I imagine this is how much fans hate Alabama during football season, because it's just a machine.

My expectations for next year are
Finishing in the top 6 in conference and solidifying a tournament spot before the SEC tourney. I just want to get to the field of 32 in the NCAA. These are my expectations and I'm going to bookmark this so people don't call me delusional with unrealistic expectations next season
