Probably TT if forced to choose, but mostly just hope it's another great game.

Watching these four teams playing hitting deep threes, contested threes... threes after threes..

Makes me sad when I think of how we have shot our last three games.

Especially Petty.

We just need things to turn on by the Elite 8; God willing we get there.

Shame on me for saying but I don't believe Bama is at that elite level at this point. We'll see soon.

We don't have to be elite, we just have to beat Maryland.

The off-day between first- and second-round NCAA tournament games was fairly light for Alabama.

The Crimson Tide didn’t have a full-speed practice after beating Iona and prepping for the 7:45 p.m. CT meeting with Maryland. There’s still plenty of work on the schedule and coach Nate Oats spoke Sunday afternoon about a few topics entering the Round of 32.

The status of injured guard Josh Primo made the list. The freshman from Canada was dressed out for the Iona game but didn’t warmup while recovering from a sprained MCL suffered March 12. He’s yet to participate in a full-contact practice, Oats said.


“Our trainer is pretty good so we’ll see how he feels in the morning, go through shoot around and we’ll make a decision as we get closer to the game,” Oats said.

Should Alabama (25-6) advance to next weekend’s Sweet 16, Oats is confident Primo would see the floor. He put those odds at 100%, barring a setback in the rehab.


Damn, that's surprising. Good news for sure.

not yet. But we'll eventually need to be back to playing elite, if we wanna go deep. But we don't need perfect games to win the next couple match you. We just need to play good.

We haven't looked that way offensively, but defensively we are pretty incredible. I think Barkley yesterday put it best when he said he liked Alabama because we can have a bad night offensively and still beat good teams. We won multiple games against good teams where we had a poor night offensively and the other team had a great night (see the semifinal and championship games in the SECT).

We’ve also shown how bad we can be at times. Hopefully it’s elite starting tomorrow for 5 straight games.

I'm guessing you didn't watch BAMA BASKETBALL in the month of January?

Arkansas trying to deliver its fan base a long-awaited return to the Sweet 16. The school hasn’t been to a regional semi since '96. Since then, almost 100 other schools have made it to the second weekend.

Here they are: 99 programs but the Hogs ain’t one.
