FWIW: The team comes in and out by section L (diagonally across the court from Z). You’ll be closer to the visitors bench in Z. Not a big deal and nothing I would necessarily avoid. Just FYI.

Might want to eat before you get there…. the concession stands aren’t playing this year.

Come on to Tuscaloosa and be part of the Chaos!

No. 4/4 Alabama Faces No. 15/16 Arkansas at Bud Walton Arena

Alabama men's basketball will look to improve to 4-0 in the Southeastern Conference on Wednesday, as the Crimson Tide travel to face Arkansas at Bud Walton Arena. The Tide is looking to win its first four conference games for the first time since the 2020-21 season and second time since the 1986-87 season. 

The Alabama-Arkansas matchup features two of the best scorers in the conference, as Arkansas' Ricky Council IV ranks No. 3 in the SEC, averaging 18.1 points per game, while Alabama's Brandon Miller ranks No. 1, scoring 19.1 points per contest. This is the second meeting between Alabama and Arkansas during the Nate Oats-Eric Musselman era where both teams are ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll.

The Broadcast
Wednesday's game is set for a 6 p.m. tipoff and will be aired on ESPN2 with Karl Ravech (play-by-play) and Jay Bilas (analyst) on the call.

The radio broadcast can be heard on the Crimson Tide Sports Network with Chris Stewart (play-by-play) and Bryan Passink (analyst) on the call, while Tom Stipe (engineer) is turning the dials. The pregame show will begin one hour prior to tipoff.

I’m just hoping we shoot half as many FT’s as Arkansas will.

I know we still have this season to look forward too. But next season looks to be pretty stacked too if we only lose Miller and Clowney from the underclassmen.

Returning:
Bradley
Griffin
Bediako
Pringle
Sears
Burnett
Cosby


Leaving:
Miller
Clowney
JQ
Gurley
Welch
Miles

Adding:
Diobate
Walters

And that leaves room to add for sure 2 transfers and possibly a 3rd depending on what happens with RJ Johnson. I’d bet after our success this season we will have our pick of the litter if we are willing to pay.

I don't know if Clowney leaves. He might but only if he can get guaranteed money though. Clowney has the potential to be a #1 pick next draft if developed properly.

He's already showing up anywhere from mid 1st to early 2nd in a lot of mock drafts. I doubt he declares without retaining his eligibility, but given his age, frame, and basic skill set I would be really surprised if he doesn't get a guarantee from someone. NBA teams can't get enough floor spacers who can rebound and protect the rim on the other end. It just depends on where he's guaranteed to be picked by. If it's early 2nd he might come back. If it's late first he gone.

Bama averages out as the highest 2-seed among 56 Brackets. None have us lower than a 2.

Hearing now that Matt Painter is atop the short list for the University of Texas’ head coaching search.

Other names mentioned in conversation include Jamie Dixon, Ed Cooley, and John Calipari.

The reality: Longhorns willing to break the bank for a winning coach.

Painter would be the better pull in my opinion.

That's an odd list. Painter and Dixon are at their alma maters and Dixon hasn't taken a team past the first weekend of the tournament in almost 15 years. Cooley is from Providence and has lived his entire life in New England. Cal is in his mid-60s and doesn't really seem to know how to respond to changes in the game.

I mean I guess anything is possible, but if they are truly planning to break the bank why not just go after someone like Scott Drew?
