It’s hard to knock anybody after that game, Reese included. I’ve bitched about Rojas for most of the season, but he found a way to make some positive contributions tonight without looking like a bulldozer. I think everyone who has watched this team develop this year has had a player punching bag at some point

We are sneakily pretty damn talented.

Petty, Primo, and Quinerly are all 5*

Difference is this year we can get 20 from a few different guys and we can get 10 from a lot of different guys. It doesn't have to be the same guy every night

We have a whole lot of similar qualities to that Villanova team that wrecked us a few years ago.

A whole lot.

We're past that shite. We're gonna thunderfunk State on Saturday and then thunderfunk Kentucky again.

We'll get tested some more (@ Mizzou, @ Carolina), but we're too damn good and too damn locked in to the stuff were supposed to do to do the normal ole weak minded Bama team shite.


If they do all of the defensive and "blue collar points" things that they've been killing lately, we are capable of winning games on off shooting nights. Those are the types of things that stay consistent, as long as the effort stays consistent. With Bama being an up tempo, fast break oriented offense, we force teams to run and play at our pace. And if you force a team out of their comfort zone, you can end up with some absolute arse whippings.

Apparently LSU is the dumbest defensive team ever. Because they wanted to collapse all 5 on every drive, when there's multiple legit 3 point shooters on the court. That just made those looks too easy to find. Especially with unselfish, confident offense.

We’ve developed a pretty solid game plan and execution the in the past 7 days. Jump out to a 20 point lead in the first 5 minutes and then continue to beat the shite out of the opponent for the next 35.

This has been the most fun I’ve had watching Bama basketball, maybe ever. The Elite Eight run was great too, but we all knew that would end, eventually.

My only wish is Rojas never dribbles the ball down the court...

They just aren't a well schooled defensive team and never have been under Wade.

The guy is Mark Gottfried.

He might be worse. Gottfried’s secretary never would have allowed his phone to be tapped.

The shite I saw in the 190s about Reese... Yeah motherfrickers are harsh.

But yeah, a switch flipped for everyone. I guess it's much easier to play once everyone pulled their heads out of their asses, and bought into what Oats was telling them to do. The change in chemistry, regardless of rotation, has been incredible to see. Especially in only a month.

My erection has lasted over 72 hours.

Anyone got a syringe and instruction book to get rid of this thing?

did i hear cno correctly? did he say in his presser that they wanted to go up 50?


I thought the same thing but then I watched it again and I think he was talking about putting up 50 in the first half.

I can imagine a lot of nba prospects would love to play in this system. This recruiting class, and a couple remaining targets, is absolutely insane.

I wasn't sure if this was LSU fans or us from back in December

Could have been either one
