Outside of the top 60 on KP now. They're definitely an early round upset candidate in the tournament if their offense shits the bed against a mid-major who has a hot shooting night.
That's hilariously beautiful. But true.

No. 4/5 Alabama Grinds Out a 79-69 Victory at LSU
The No. 4/5 Alabama men's basketball team defeated LSU, 79-69, Saturday night in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Five Crimson Tide players scored in double figures to help UA improve to 20-3 on the season and remain perfect in Southeastern Conference play (10-0).
Freshman star Brandon Miller fought foul trouble most of the night but managed to earn his fifth double-double of the year with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Noah Clowney and Rylan Griffen led the Tide with 14 points apiece, while Mark Sears and Nimari Burnett both finished with 13.
Despite leading for nearly 35 minutes of the contest, Alabama could never pull away from LSU. The Tigers were able to cut the Tide's lead down to a single basket on three occasions in the second half but failed to get any closer.
With the win, Alabama completed the season sweep of LSU and won for the fifth time in the last six games against the Tigers. LSU (12-11, 1-9) was led by Derek Fountain's game-high 26 points in the losing effort.
HEAD COACH NATE OATS POSTGAME COMMENTS
"It was definitely not one of our better wins, but sometimes when you compete for a league championship you go on the road and win games that are not pretty and are ugly. I thought we had some guys step up; that is back-to-back games that Nimari (Burnett) has played really well for us and Rylan (Griffen) shot the ball really well tonight so it was good to see some guys step up. I think JQ (Jahvon Quinerly) created some really good offense for us in the second half and I thought our defense was nowhere close where we'd like it to be but I thought late in the game we got some stops when we needed to."

It's honestly kind of incredible how refs can influence a game. If you just look at shooting percentages you'd think we won by 25 and it was never close after the first few minutes. But then you account for the fact that LSU spent most of the game shooting FTs because Pat Adams is the human manifestation of a flaming bag full of dog shite and it was never comfortable.

In the Crimson Tide's 79-69 win at LSU, the bench — particularly Rylan Griffen and Nimari Burnett — provided much-needed points in the first half while the team's usual shooters were cold.

I hate to accuse a ref of cheating or being one sided but Pat Adams made a few calls that were egregious. Rylen Griffin clearly hit a three that at the 12:54 mark and he called it a two. There was space between Griffen’s foot and the line. These officials should have some kind of public reprimand for some of these calls.

Losing at home to South Carolina. Auburn does not exactly have a resumé that screams "at large lock" though. They're one bad loss away from the bubble just like UK.

Auburn does not have a bad loss

whats most amazing to me is, how many games are intentionally influenced by refs nowadays, with blanket immunity. no consequences at all for purposefully affecting the game.

I would agree with this. You gotta at least have Burnett in there for defense. Burnett and Griffen have become really reliable at the corner three and those are rally killers for the opposition and run enhancers for us.

It's the main thing that has frustrated me about basketball for many years. Refs completely dictate the flow of the game from start to finish. We've even seen them dictate a game from half to half. Yesterday was ridiculous, but it may have been a blessing as the team had to learn how to play in crunch time without Miller on the floor. They stepped up and that'll only help them in the tournament.

They just total up the number of points scored by each team while a player was on the court and the +/- is the difference. So if Alabama scores 78 points with Miller on the floor and our opponent scores 61 while he is on the floor, his +/- would be +17.
