@BamacoachBryan tells me the staff is playing 2v2 to stay in shape in the bubble, says he & @CoachBauman lost to Oats & @AntoinePettway

Having Pett on your team isn’t fair.

I had said it a few days ago but FSU didn’t look that great in their first game to me
Couple big guys but they had some that weren’t too athletic to me

With Alabama and Arkansas advancing: The SEC has now had 9 different schools make the Sweet 16 in the past four NCAA tournaments:

Alabama ('21)
Arkansas ('21)
Auburn ('19)
Kentucky (’17-19)
Tennessee ('19)
LSU (‘19)
Texas A&M ('18)
South Carolina ('17)
Florida ('17)

To further show the increase in competitiveness from top to bottom in the SEC: In the previous nine NCAATs, the league only had four different schools make the Sweet 16.

Ranking the 2021 Men's Sweet 16: Who Looks Strongest After Two Rounds?

quote:

After four nonstop days of basketball, a chaos-filled men’s NCAA tournament opening weekend is over and the Sweet 16 is set. There have been plenty of surprises already (looking at you, Oral Roberts, the Pac-12 and Illinois’s being the first No. 1 seed to fall), but now, the focus can turn to what comes next. While it’d be nice to think that anyone still around has a shot at the national title, the reality is that some teams are a heck of a lot closer to achieving it than others. With that in mind, we’ve ranked the 16 teams still dancing, with particular weight put on recency.

3. Alabama

After struggling to find a rhythm against Iona, Alabama looked like a Final Four team in a 96–77 blowout victory over Maryland. When the Tide are knocking down threes at a high rate, Gonzaga might be the only team in the country that can beat them. Nate Oats’s club certainly did that against the Terps, draining 16 threes in the game to blow Maryland away despite UMD’s shooting more efficiently from the field than any Tide opponent all year. A matchup with a hot UCLA team looms in the Sweet 16, but Alabama has the athletes on the perimeter to slow down the Bruin guards and enough firepower to make the program’s first-ever Final Four.


1 Gonzaga
2 Baylor
3 Alabama
4 Michigan
5 Loyola Chicago
6 Arkansas
7 Houston
8 Florida State
9 USC
10 Oregon
11 Creighton
12 Syracue
13 Villanova
14 UCLA
15 Oregon State
16 Oral Roberts

He’s gonna be a star just like Collin. He always had the tools he was just raw at Bama.

Much like Primo... we should have 3 solid stars in the NBA in a couple years.

Nola drafting Kira is strange since they are so deep at PG. They should trade Lonzo. isnt he a FA after the season?

Yes, but simultaneously some of the best memories of my life are going to all the home games with my dad growing up during the 90’s. My friends and I spent many hours in the driveway pretending to be Eric Washington, Brian Williams, Antonio McDyess, etc.

I love this place...thank you everyone for putting up with my melts. When I get mad in sports I insult the players/team, it’s the way I cope.

Understand.

Please change - it poisons the atmosphere. Type all you want but please don't hit the "Submit" button. It stains the players, coaches, program and fans. Do this for others - thank you.

Do you mean Gumps who decide they love basketball because we're winning or FOGs who decide that they'd rather be able to talk shite about basketball than continue insisting they don't like it?


Bama wins so much, there's basketball only fans that don't care about football unless they're in the championship. But either of your options are more likely to stick.

We need two more games like the Maryland one and one survival game to make it to The Championship! Make it happen guys. Looks well within reach with some luck and guts. We know you all have guts.


They can do it, but it's a tough row to hoe. After UCLA, it's most likely Michigan, Gonzaga, and Baylor. That would be knocking out 3 1 seeds to finish off the tournament. I'm not sure that's ever happened. But upsets are possible in any game.
