you'd get pretty good value taking Auburn at 11. That's too many imo, 7/8 maybe? Retin needs some help.

Good article on Lawson Schaffer on al.com

Alabama has a chance to finish 19-11 (10-8) heading into the SEC tourney and I think they'll do it. That's amazing for Avery's first regular season. After that, I think we'll win one and lose one in the SEC tourney. That would put us at 20-12 and in the NCAA tourney. I just can't believe how good Avery has made this team when there's not much talent on the team.

Guess they count them as losses for when we haven't covered.

against the spread

That's not many times to be a big favorite. Telling stat. I thought that was interesting.

Hope Retin gets some help today on the offensive end and our crowd steps up. Big game.

I will make sure of it.

Aubun players will leave with their ears bleeding. The return of the Plaid Palace is near. Get out your richter scale.

Part of me feels like we have a chance to run away with it today, because the crowd should be loud especially with the trophy presentation.



But I just can't take us at -11.

bubble games:

We need:
NC State to beat Syracuse
E Car to beat Cinci
Cen Fla to beat Temple
GTOWN to beat Butler
IL St to beat Wichita ST

Ala to beat aub
LSU to beat fla
Kent to beat Vandy

Ala has to get to the 7th seed in the sec tourney to get out of Kentucky's bracket. They are the only team in the league we have zero chance of beating.

I do too man!

This made me feel really confident about today. Read this and pay attention to the quotes Avery said. He said things like they had a hard practice and it was really good and everyone was able to fully participate without injury. Also said now that he lost to Auburn, he fully understands the rivalry, also said the team has their confidence back. Good read. LINK
