Frank Martin is the antithesis to Bruce and Oats. They’ve taken so many long twos.

I’m watching Oklahoma-Kansas cause we’re playing Oklahoma soon, but it looks like Auburn’s about to put up 100 plus at this point.
My Oklahoma scouting report from watching half of this second half: they’re pretty good.
Nothing really jumps out. They just look very solid. Not shocking since Kruger is a good coach. They seem solid defensively, solid offensively, etc. They have a 6’5 point guard that averages 15, 5, and 5 and has literally shot 25% from 3 the last two years.
I just looked at KenPom and they’re 28th in offensive efficiency and 40th in defensive efficiency, and that seems to make sense based on how they look today (I would have guessed maybe higher on defense than offense).

Yeah will definitely be a tough game in Norman next Saturday!
Hopefully bama is up to the challenge.

Looks like Auburn has a run of five straight very winnable conference games after Mizzou and Baylor.
Really hammering South Carolina now.

Auburn might prove to be bama's best win to date other than Tennessee.

Oklahoma up 6 with 1:15 left and they’re in the double bonus, so it would take a mini-collapse at this point. Would be a good win for them, and it would be clearly good for us.

They look good at everything. We’ll need to be at a high level Saturday. Probably wouldn’t be the best time for us to go 3-22 from 3

Might be better for us if they weren't quite as good

#50 on South Carolina.....Good Lord

Auburn’s a dangerous team, but South Carolina is down 103-75 with 3 minutes left. Yikes.
I feel like a lot of teams in the SEC fit into the “maybe they just aren’t good” category, and now I’m thinking South Carolina’s in that club.
It was just like a few days ago that I thought they were in the 6-8 tier of SEC teams (with Auburn and Arkansas), and that probably hasn’t aged super well.

48-34 Kentucky with a minute or so left in the half. LSU is a mess right now.

I am in full on “we are good at basketball so I am going to watch a lot of basketball” mode, but this Tennessee team is just sort of dull.

Tennessee's offense without Springer is baaaaad

Found this little gem from a couple of years ago.

11. Nate Oats (Alabama)
The glory days for Alabama basketball took place in the 80’s and 90’s, though Oats is hoping he can recharge this program. Former NBA coach Avery Johnson couldn’t get the job done at a school whose attention is clearly on football. This program was in the Elite Eight just once in their history but Oats brings new excitement to Tuscaloosa.
Oats was born and raised in Wisconsin, playing and coaching at D-3 Marantha Baptist to begin his career. He spent eleven seasons as a high school coach in Michigan before Bobby Hurley brought him aboard his Buffalo staff in 2013. When Hurley departed for Arizona State, Oats took over the program and continued its elevation. In four seasons, he took the Bulls to three NCAA Tournaments, including a pair of Tourney wins. His blowout upset of Arizona in 2018 might be the highlight, though knocking Arizona State out of last year’s tournament might have been sweeter for Oats.
When the Alabama job opened, Oats was quickly grabbed by the Crimson Tide. In his first few months in Alabama, he’s already done a solid job of retaining the team that Johnson built while bringing in a few other pieces. This could be a team ready to compete from the beginning, though it might take Oats a few seasons to adjust to coaching at the power conference level.
He’s relatively inexperienced compared to the other coaches, but Oats has made the most of his opportunities. He took Buffalo to new heights and is poised for success with the Crimson Tide. It’ll be interesting to see how Oats adjusts to game-planning for teams like Kentucky and Tennessee instead of Akron and Toledo. This is a move that’s set up for success but we’ll see if Oats sinks or soars in the SEC.

Watching UT and Mizzou, I don’t miss the “pass around and take a bad shot at the buzzer offense”
