It's a yearly ritual

This is why I won’t allow myself to get emotionally invested in b-ball. Too predictable. We are the Ole Miss of SEC basketball. Sad and a little pathetic.

It's amazing how good we play vs good teams and how poorly we play vs mediocre teams.
Regardless, first year for Oates, hopefully nowhere to go but up.

I hate to say it, but I now understand why there are so many FOGs. Football has been pretty consistent over the last 12 years not breaking our hearts very often. Basketball, on the other hand, has been consistent as well in having a complete collapse in February every year. It would be nice to have a sport to look forward to after football season every year, but here we are...…...AGAIN!

Football broke my heart on a yearly basis for the first 20+ years of my life, so.

Same here. Maybe there is hope for basketball and baseball? I would love to see it but not holding my breath

Unlike Pete Golding, Nate Oats has this team playing to their talent level. What you see, you get. And we didn't drop off the face of the earth in our usual February swoon. We've been up and down and "swooning" since game one. This is been who we are all-season Bama folks. For my money, a guy like Donta Hall in the middle would have been enough to tip the scale of middle-tier teams a few more times. Enough to get to the big dance.
Everyone should take a quick look around the SEC as a basketball league. Great coaches everywhere you turn, including "Curly," of ATM. He has been good everywhere he's gone. Yet he too has got to get better recruits to get out of their Mid-tier "swoon."
Tell you something else, it's going to make recruiting very hard for Oats in the SEC areas, with so many great coaches at Mississippi schools and around the league. LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, they are staring at the top 10 next season. Georgia has got a great coach and hell-of-a freshmen recruiting class. Florida is still getting bluebloods down there. What White can do with them is another story. This isn't the SEC that Grant and Avery inherited.
Bama alert: Nate Oats will get us to dangerous team staus, sooner than later.
