Who deserves to see his minutes cut? I've had no issues with our rotations this season. It's tough to manage a deep bench but Oats has found a way.


No need to cut anybody right now but we have a pretty clearly defined 8-man rotation for March. Sears, Bradley, Quinerly, Burnett, Miller, Clowney, Gurley, Bediako

Since 2002, every NCAA National Champion has finished the regular season ranked in @kenpomeroy’s Top 40 offensive efficiency and Top 25 defensive efficiency. Here are the teams that currently meet the criteria. How many do you think will make it to the Final 4?




We are inching close to the top 10 in both, 13th in offense right now and 6th in defense.

Imagine him on this team

I love Bediako, but Hall always had bad intentions. I wish Bediako would be more assertive when he has the ball in the paint. Haven’t seen enough of angry Chuck..

Is Missouri the first offense with real fire power we’ll have faced in the SEC so far? Kentucky had Reeves and Oscar but I can’t think of anyone else that was a real threat to our defense.

Pat Kelsey is my guess, young Catholic coach who wins everywhere he's been.

If Bediako had Pringle's, and not commit tons of fouls, he'd be an absolute monster.

Chuck doesn't show up a ton on the stat sheet, but Evan Miyakawa has him as the 6th best player in the country. One spot ahead of Miller.

yeah I have no issue with everyone playing rn. It’s working. I do wish Welch could get going offensively tho.



I think it kinda just depends on the situation for me. If we need a scoring spark off the bench then give me Griffen. If we give someone a quick break and want to maintain the pace for a couple of minutes give me Welch because he'll be an asset defensively.

We're always going to nitpick players but it truly is impressive how quickly Oats has turned the quality of the roster into what it is now. Gurley came in as a starter and is now the 3rd guy off the bench and our last guy is either a proven vet Welch or a 4* contributor Griffen.

Maybe. Because of it's at Mizzou.
They're 3-0 at home in conference averaging 85 ppg, 0-3 on the road, 65 ppg.

Doubt Kobe hits the portal after this season being that they have Gates and he’s doing a great job…BUT…if he for some reason wanted to come back home, Oats just publicly told him he’s welcome back lol

I see his numbers, but to be nice, I'm slightly skeptical about him being #6 and ahead of Miller. He's a good player and much better than last year. But he definitely has moments where he plays too passive. But there aren't many 7 footers that can run like Oats wants. But when he's playing assertive and with fire, he's a man possessed.

But dude needs to adjust his formula. Miller does literally everything. Especially now that he's started being more aggressive driving the lane. Even on defense, Miller is all over the place. We're still a very good team without him. But no way we're 16-2 winning every SEC game by double digits.

Saw this screenshot posted on Twitter. No idea if Tide91 is legit. I'm sure some in here are familiar with him and can chime in on it.

Right now it is just fund-raising, but when donors pony up $60 million, the Board of Trustees will give it the go-ahead. I presume fund-raising will continue, but it sounds as though the Board is agreeing to be on the hook for the rest.

$60M to get started….if we can’t get that then our boosters truly do not care.

Says the percentage is not a good representation since he's only had 13 attempts on the season — and not a ton of playing time.

#Alabama coach Nate Oats: Nimari Burnett has returned to practice in a limited role and has had his cast/brace removed.

He's still wearing heavy tape, though. According to Oats, he might be able to return as early as next week.
