I watched Hillmans dunk against the Barn at least 500 times...mostly for Ron Steele going crazy on the bench.

His dunk against UT was awesome too



His open floor jumping ability was elite.

And your boy Gerald, I mean hell all he did at Alabama was dunk.

I thought Wallace played hard and was a really good player for us. He was a good defensive player and he would fight for rebounds, and he got his garbage points in the paint. He wanted to work on his outside shooting at Alabama, but CMG made him play more in the paint than he wanted to. But, I thought he played hard, and played very well for us. As far as helping Alabama, CMG played him the right way-IMO.

Absolutely - I should have clarified OFFENSIVELY that was all he did. He was just insanely raw. He played his arse off, and it's amazing how hard he worked to develop into a good offensive player in the NBA. He had a great career.

Personally glad we continue to get games near NYC even if New Haven itself isn't the best.

Penn St trip was pretty cool last year.

Also, an Alabama game included in the trip is about the only way I can get my brother to come visit.

An Ivy League school on the road...what could go wrong?

I hate playing Ivy League schools and I definitely wouldn’t want to play them on the road but to be a good team, you have to beat good teams.

Dayton must have been busy that weekend. Yale was plan B for our annual OOC embarrassing arse-whooping.

For those of you who have been to the SEC basketball tournament in the past couple of years, how do you go about buying the ticket book for the event? When is that normally done?

During a radio appearance on the Gary Harris Show on Tuesday morning, head coach Nate Oats provided an update on both undecided players. Petty and Jones have yet to hire agents and can still elect to return for their senior seasons provided they withdraw their names from the draft by the June 15 deadline.

Oats indicated that he is confident Jones will return to the Crimson Tide, stating that the forward was simply taking advantage of his ability to test the draft waters heading into his senior season. The athletic defender earned SEC all-defensive honors last season, leading Alabama in charges taken (22), deflections (84) and floor dives (31) while averaging 7.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game and shooting 48.4 percent from the floor. However, his season was limited due to various injuries, including a fractured wrist which forced him to play with a cast over the final eight games.

“It made sense for him to do it and get some feedback, but he just wasn’t healthy enough to really put himself to where he needed to get,” Oats said. “So I’m pretty confident he’ll be back based on talks with him and his dad.”

Oats said Petty is “really up in the air” as the sharpshooting guard waits for more feedback from NBA teams. Petty ranked No. 9 in the nation shooting 44 percent from beyond the arc last season. He also led the Crimson Tide with 6.6 rebounds per game while averaging 14.5 points.

Oats said that it will be difficult to judge Petty’s draft stock until the NBA draft picture begins to clear up. The league is currently suspended due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, leaving the NBA draft order uncertain. Limitations caused by the pandemic have also restricted Petty from working out in front of teams.

“It’s hard to predict,” Oats said. “He’s one of those guys that’s borderline. Is he early second, mid-second, late second, not drafted, somewhere depending on what team says what. He’s a really hard one to predict. I think that some teams would take him early second round, and some of those second-round picks get guaranteed money. If he could a guaranteed contract, I think it’d probably make sense for him to go. If he doesn’t have a guaranteed contract, I think if he came back he could play his way into the first round. And I think he knows that. I think he’s a smart kid, and him and his mother Regina will make the smart decision in this case.”
