I haven’t cemented anything and I’m trying not to be a Bama or SEC Homer but my first stab via gut only has

Auburn V Iowa State
UF V St John’s
Duke V Bama
Houston V UT

I obviously and history shows we will have upsets but I usually do a run to 8 and stop to think.

Probably to see why it's swollen


I’m concerned that the swelling is preventing them from discovering it is a season ender

Hope not. Goodman on the field of 68 made it seem like Oats thinks/hopes it’s a 4-5 day thing and that’s why he was pulling for us to get a Friday Sunday draw.

If they performed a Lachman right when he went out and before swelling they would know pretty confidently if that was the case.

Sure hope we wouldn’t need him for Friday, but Sunday we could really use him.

Good point and certainly seems like that’s SOP any time the complaint is in that area.

I think the lack of a wrap/brace/whatever in the selection video is a good sign to go with Oats saying they hope to have him Friday.

I wouldn’t play him Friday either way. Gives two extra days rest and if we can’t beat Robert Morris without him, we weren’t going anywhere to begin with. Just run the risk of him aggravating it.

That's my thoughts. The combo of Cliff, Sherrell, Mo and Jarin in the front court should be pretty decisive advantage against Robert Morris.

Their tallest player is 6'9 and of course he shoots 43 % on 3 point attempts and has attempted over 100 this year.

I agree. No need to rush him back. If Robert Morris requires Grant we will get the belt.

I tell you a game I’m back and forth on is Louisville v Creighton

The ACC is impossible to read. Louisville had won 21 of their past 22 games coming into yesterday's final with Duke. Of those 21 wins, they beat Clemson two times, but that was really about the only wins of note.

Hopefully we can get Reid more playing time in this game, too.

Elite 8 seems the solid bet. Sweet 16 or bust really. Final 4 is definitely doable. Bama has the 5th best odds to win it all.

We can’t take this era for granted. We are in the good ole days of Alabama basketball.

has it been mentioned that the opponent in 25 of Bama's 33 games this year made the NCAA tournament? Obviously that includes teams we played multiple times, but it still crazy.

some lady on CBS sports just said that Duke has by far the easiest path to the FF, and "They would meet Bama in the Elite 8, which of the SEC teams, is the one I would most want to face".

I assume she means of the 1 or 2 seeds. Everyone is giving the UF loss waaaay too much weight.

Bama is getting 0 respect.

One talking head picked us as the first team from the top two lines to go out...second round to St Mary's...because our tempo plays into their hands or something.
