This should end well…. and you can watch at 5 pm on the SEC Network:

Alabama Women’s Basketball, Texas A&M Square Off in Reed Arena

The University of Alabama women's basketball team will travel to Bryan-College Station, Texas, to meet Texas A&M Sunday, Feb. 20 at 5 p.m. CT in Reed Arena. The contest will be broadcast on SEC Network, with Paul Sunderland and Andrea Lloyd on the call.

The Crimson Tide is 13-11 this season, including 4-9 in the Southeastern Conference and 2-4 in SEC road games. The Tide will look for its second win over the Aggies in the 11-game, all-time series when the two teams square off in in the Lone Star State. Alabama's sole win in that series was Feb. 27, 2020, as the Tide upset the then-No. 12/14 Aggies, 76-63, in Bryan-College Station, Texas. It marked Alabama's second consecutive win over an Associated Press Top 15 team that season.

I hope your right about Gary & Miles but as of right now I just don't see it. Holt isn't going anywhere though.

We won the SEC with that philosophy. Is that high level enough?

I know it gets said seemingly every page but even with a bad 3 % all year long, our offense is still the 11th most efficient offense in the country. That side of the ball wasn’t the problem last year and it’s not the problem this year. Our defense is pitiful and that’s why we’ve lost so many games.

I guess they have out lawed the medium range jump shot in College BB.. count me as one that thinks this philosophy is flawed. Is there any team that wins at a high level consistently with the Oats Offensive Philosophy.

Good point.
Gurley's two 10-ft jumpers in the paint late in the game won us a big one last week, and JQ and Shackelford both have nice 10-15 ft. shots in the paint. I think it makes the rim protector have to come out a couple of steps and allows our guards to get to the rim.
PS-If I was 7-feet tall, I'd damn sure learn how to shoot a little jump-hook, one of the easiest shots to acquire.

They generally play at a much slower pace, but Villanova has won a couple of national championships without taking many mid-range shots.

Also, we won the SEC last year.

That's a fact! DEFENSE & EFFORT!

Well said...

I don't think Oats asks Gary/Holt/Miles to leave nor do I think they leave. That's a dangerous game to play. Recruits are watching.

Agree 100%. Would not be surprised to see Shack back for senior year either, and . With NIL, he can make money and get better exposure than in some remote place overseas. JD and Ellis are both 2nd round projections, JD 1st round in some, so I expect they leave. JQ will be 24 next year, so likely he will explore G League or overseas. I have not seen Tchikou the last two games in Coleman, so he may already be gone. Anybody else know? Hate to lose Ambrose Hilton, but he is not getting playing time. Having Bediako, Miles, Burnett, Holt, Gary back plus 5 new players gives us 10, so we have room for 3 transfers or 2 if Shack returns, likely an experienced point guard and a best player(s) available.

I should also add it’d be nice for no torn ACLs and season ending injuries next year.
