Yep - and Auburn is a good, experienced team (who has also been a bit lucky, lets be honest, it isn't all skill).
I'd settle for just being average at the finding ways to win category. We don't have to be Auburn, let's just not be the anti-Auburn

Ole Miss at 81....hoping that turns into a Q1 games. I’m still saying 18-13 with 1 win in SEC tournament will do the trick for us.

I’m still not gonna get my hopes up... but this group can pull it off.
In typical Bama Basketball fashion I fully expect us to beat LSU and win 1 of the Mississippi games and then come home and Lose to South Carolina

That Ole Miss game is going to be tough. They're a different animal at home and have a good backcourt.

Ole Miss and South Carolina are not going to be gimmees at all and Missouri on the road will be a grind as well
We'll have to play well down the stretch to get to 18 wins

The stat that most directly correlates with us winning or losing (outside of direct metrics like FG%) : Free Throw Rate
- Offensive Free Throw Rate > 40.0 = 10-1
- Offensive Free Throw Rate <= 40.0 = 3-10
- Offensive Free Throw Rate > 40.0 = 10-1
- Offensive Free Throw Rate <= 40.0 = 3-10

That would get us to 17-12 after 29 games. It's like clockwork.

Wiley had 17 rebounds last night

Wouldn't that be 19-12?
Is my math wrong?

I get what you're saying, but we've gutted out a few close wins this season. Mizzou was a little closer than the final indicated, Kansas St, UGA, and one other I'm forgetting. We do need to do it more consistently, but those are games we most likely would have lost in recent previous seasons.
The flip side is we've lost a couple of close games. The Florida and Tennessee games were just inexplicable and games good teams don't lose. Auburn was a close loss, but I also don't feel like we ever had a legitimate shot at winning that game. We never lead, and expended so much energy fighting back we didn't enough left in the tank to make it happen in OT.

Good game and all but duck you guys. Didn't need another heart attack game midweek + lose our best player.
I've been saying for awhile OatzNhoez seems like a good coach and a Ricky Bobby mentality 3FG team is both fun + dangerous
Great game!! Hope Okoro is okay, love that kid. Think he will be very special.

Kira is the 25th pick in SI's latest mock.
quote:
25. Knicks (via Clippers) - Kira Lewis, PG, Alabama
Height: 6’2” | Weight: 160 | Age: 18 | Sophomore
We’ll see whether Lewis can adequately follow up on an eye-opening 37-point performance against Georgia over the weekend, but his extreme youth and blinding end-to-end speed are two factors working in his favor from a long-term perspective. He’s still figuring out how to consistently run a team and lead an offense in the halfcourt, but he’s going to be able to put pressure on defenses in the open court and going downhill, and his turnover woes can be partially excused due to his age and the fact he’s playing 92 percent of available minutes on one of the fastest-paced teams in the country. Lewis has become an increasingly viable option in the 20s, and could conceivably go higher than this.

Yea, Kira is going to do nothing but keep climbing. And good for him, he's been an absolute workhorse this year.
He's got flaws and things to improve but he's gone to the post every night on a team where, like Oats said post-game, he just kind of has to.

If he stays another year he may be a lottery pick. Smarter,Stronger and more Polished.

South Carolina is playing good ball. Be interesting to see how they do the next week : vs Tennessee, @ State, vs LSU.

We probably have to go at least 5 and 2 over these next 7 games with a win over either LSU or Miss St. to get in the tourney.
If we do this TeamRankings.com gives us a 88% chance to get in. I think we can do it. We probably end up winning a game or two in the SECT as well.
