At least KenPom recognizes it as a "Semi-Away" game, instead of neutral.

Also Gonzaga had 18000+ fans packing the arena. So how is it a neutral court?

We all know it was actually a road game. But alas, it was "neutral" as far as NET, BPI, KenPom, etc. go.


Kenpom actually graded it as Semi Home for Gonzaga which I believe is different

Edit: Just saw the post on the top of the page

I don't know exactly what the NCAA criteria are for a "neutral" site game but the agreement was that we would play the Zags in Seattle this year which meets the criteria for a "neutral" site game. Next year we will play them in Birmingham, which also qualifies as a "neutral" site game.

According to the official NCAA ranking site our opponents average NET is 71 which is the toughest schedule in the country.

Our loss is a Quad 2 loss. Unless I missed something, the losses of all of those above us are Quad 1 losses.

Boom!

Alabama’s Jaden Shackelford and JD Davison Sweep SEC Weekly Awards

Shackelford earns the third conference weekly honor of his career, while Davison notches his first

Following Alabama's upset win over No. 3/3 Gonzaga this past Saturday in the Battle in Seattle, Crimson Tide swept the league's weekly awards as Jaden Shackelford was named the Southeastern Conference's Player of the Week and JD Davison earned the league's Freshman of the Week, which were both announced by the conference office Monday.

In addition to his conference award, Shackelford was also named the NCAA.com March Madness National Player of the Week.

It marks just the second time in program history that the Crimson Tide has swept the league's weekly honors dating back to the 1990-91 season when the SEC began what was then called the Rookie of the Week award. The only other occurrence came during the week of Feb. 17, 2020 when Kira Lewis Jr. (player of the week) and Shackelford (freshman of the week) earned the recognition.

SEC Sports:

Men's Basketball Players Of The Week

SEC Player of the Week - Alabama guard Jaden Shackelford, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound junior from Hesperia, Calif., had a career night in leading the Crimson Tide to an upset win over No. 3 Gonzaga in Seattle. Shackelford matched his career high with 28 points to go along with a team-leading nine rebounds in the 91-82 victory. He connected on 10-of-16 shots from the field and 6-of-8 from beyond the arc. Shackelford lit the scoreboard up in the first half, hitting all six of his threes (6-of-7) to help stake the Tide to a 15-point halftime lead (51-36) - Gonzaga's largest halftime deficit since the Zags trailed 40-23 to Memphis on Feb. 7, 2009.

SEC Freshman of the Week - Alabama guard JD Davison, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound freshman from Letohatchee, Ala., helped lift the Crimson Tide to a 91-82 victory over No. 3 Gonzaga in the Battle in Seattle. Davison was impressive throughout, going for a season-best 20 points to go along with five rebounds and three assists in the upset victory. He also set season-best marks in field goals made and attempted (6-of-10) and threes made and attempted (4-of-6).

I’ve seen that dunk from JD at least 4 times since the game, but the most impressive parts of that play to me were the anticipation and the steal. I can’t say that I can ever remember a player reading an opposing player and jumping a pass like that in a basketball game. He knew it was a dunk before the passer ever let go of the ball.

Florida being bad is weird. They were supposed to be top half of the conference but they're stuck in a bad rut right now.

No way! I've only watched Florida in the 2 higher profile games (beating Ohio St and losing to Oklahoma) but they looked pretty good in both.

It also helps that for Alabama fans, this board is the best basketball discussion out there. I don’t think any of the paysites have the constant discussion we have here so I’ve never bothered leaving once I found this place.
