re: Tide Hoops | 31-6 (16-2)

I want Bama to win a natty so I can tell them to shove that final 4 up their arse.

Let's see what happens in the Big12/SEC challenge. I think it might go better for the SEC than a lot of people expect.

Any one know the Bama longest winning streak?

Will be interesting.

Well, it can't be any worse, since everyone expects the SEC to get their arse kicked. And while the Big12 have looked good. It could easily be like the Big10 last year (or the year before), where they got their asses handed to them in the tournament.

I’m not sure what I prefer, Tennessee to win out until we meet in Feb, setting up an enormous game and possible revenge for football, OR Tennessee to drop a couple so there’s no threat of losing the SEC regular season title.

This shouldn't matter at all. We want Bama to wrap up the SEC as quickly as possible. A win is a win over a rival.

That is what kind of concerns me. Turnovers, defense, and offense have improved in SEC play. Is it because the SEC is trash, or are we really getting that much better. I think it is really both.

I'd say the careless turnovers have just improved, period. Missouri, Arky et al. are teams that turn opponents over much better than many of the teams we threw it away 15 times in the first half against early in the season.

The high turnover numbers early in the season were a true "team effort". Seemed all four freshmen would each have about 2 per game and have learned a lot better what they can get away with.


JQ was the other big TO culprit early. His style is always going to result in turnovers.
He's just so aggressive driving but even his TOs are down and many of those are going for "jelly" passes in 20 point games.

I'd also add that his shooting 43% from 3pt range in conference play is as big a part of winning games by 20 instead of them going down to the wire.
