Hopefully Bama will not overlook Miss St. At this point Bama can beat anyone and lose to anyone left on the schedule. Win the 3 home games and Bama will be looking pretty good.

Not if we keep turning the ball over in bunches and let them get into transition...and they have some pretty good shooters.

I agree. Tennessee played at Rupp last night and only lost by 10. We can beat them, just have to play almost perfect

The 10-point margin is deceiving. UK was up by 20 with 10 minutes left and just started toying with them. As if Ulis and Murray aren't enough, Humphries and Willis are also guys who can kill you from anywhere. It will take Bama a damn near perfect game to compete with them.


Don't even focus on their shooting, it's their size and length that scare me the most. It's like they know the precise point and time to go up and get the ball.

I have no doubt that CAJ will have a plan to shock CBB again though

I feel like we have to go 4-1 with a respectable loss @UK and then win at least one in the SECT for me to feel comfortable on Selection Sunday.

Most likely scenario also to me. However, I do still think that the game at Georgia will be much tougher than we realize, but say Alabama only drops their one game to UK and loses to Georgia, I'd still feel comfortable about the NCAAT.

Palm has taken us off the bubble in his eyes so if we win out at home, I'll feel pretty good. Obviously going 4-1 down the stretch would leave nothing to chance though.

I think we will go 4-1 and may get extremely lucky and win out by beating Kentucky Tuesday

That, even with a first-round loss in the conference tournament, would at least get us a 9 seed, I think. Same for finishing 3-2 (preferably a loss to UGA instead of MSU, right?) and a first round tourney win.

Let's say we go 4-1 and win two tourney games. Y'all think that would be good enough for a 7 seed?

IMO if that happens they're not only getting in, they're getting a 8 or better seeding.

I honestly think comfortably in if they win out at home and don't look terrible in any losses. I'd sleep really well doing that and winning @UGA or in the first round of the tourney. When has 20-12 plus a top-40 RPI and SOS (not to mention multiple wins v top 25) not earned an invite?

I'd start a conspiracy that the NCAA has an enmity against Alabama if that happened.

According to RPI Wizard

Win home games
Lose @ UK and @ UGA
Beat TN Rd 1, lose to UK rd 2

20-12, RPI 39

With the rest of our resume, 20 wins and a Top 40 RPI? We are a 10-11 seed.


Win all home games and @ UGA
Lose @ UK
Lose to A&M first game of SECT

20-11, RPI 32

With that resume we are a 8-10 seed



Honestly, if we win our home games vs State, Auburn and Arky and don't lose to a bad team in the SECT........I think we are in.

If we win our home games, I don't think it matters what happens in the SECt.

From what I've read, this is a weak bubble and there's 2 extra at-large bids because of sanctions.

According to Bryan Passink, that's the symbolism behind the signing of the bat after a win.
