I think this 3 game stretch is a great opportunity to play 3 good teams in front of large hostile crowds, except Kentucky at home.

This will give us a realistic look at where we stand right now.

This is better than the SEC tournament and hopefully we can do well enough to where winning games in the tournament won’t be necessary.

Good point about the next few games but the past couple years have shown the field is pretty much set before the conference tournaments start. The SEC doesn’t even play their championship until selection Sunday.

We’re safely on the 8/9 line if we just beat Kentucky.

I hope so, seeding doesn’t concern me, I just want us to be in the dang thing then anything can happen.

I don’t imagine anyone would be happy to play us.

Watching the bench react to lawson flexing. Brazille is wearing a fanny back.


Can someone explain this

Devo was +31 last night in 28 minutes and a usage of only 8%!!

Him not being asked to shoulder the load offensively is doing our team wonders.

I wear a vest with a lot of pockets to keep all my stuff in. Got tired of having to pull my britches up all the time.

When he was short arming shots and free throws the other night I figured his legs were pretty much gone. He’s chasing the best player all game and it’s got to be wearing on him. He did a great job helping us through a tough stretch and I’m glad he’s getting some needed rest at the right time.

just do not get how that kid doesn't at the least, have to sit for a long period of time until the total outcome of the case is solved.

The Bama boosters are hoping it plays out in court until after the tournament. By then he is gone anyway

I guess i kinda get both sides of it. He's a piece of shite for what he did no matter whose side you look at. But I get that he's not in trouble, seen as a witness, so then you don't suspend him as he shouldn't be punished for others crimes or just being present. He cooperated with police and what not so punishing him for his friends choices isn't really fair to him or the program and what they worked towards.

Of course in reality he's not that innocent a bystander. If he doesn't get into criminal trouble for this his NBA money is probably lost in civil court.

gun in his car, took it to a friend whom he gave rides too... Use to kill a young lady, a mother as well while he was present.

yeah /NO he should have some sort of major reminder period and it should begin by not being allowed to play.

If for no other reason, the family who lost a loved one should know that he is not on national tv living his life in such a public way without consequences imho!

LSU beats Vandy, thank god! I thought they were about to go 1-17 with us being their only win. That would have been sailing material for them for years to come.

For me personally I think a line was crossed the second he got the text about needing that gun....

But on the flip side of things it's not Alabama basketballs job to parent a kid and there's no one really saying he violated any laws or rules so what are we punishing him for?

If for nothing else, (there is more to be found out concerning this investigation/trial) bringing such terrible publicity to the university itself. This will not go away with a whimper man. There is a contractual obligation between these players and the universities as a whole. I am sure those were violated.

University definitely can’t raise one.

I was 20 once. I remember how dumb some decisions I made was. It never involved a murder but I did some dumb things.

If the rumors are true and he was told to bring the gun because somebody was starting stuff then that’s a while different story. While not killing her his actions and decisions played into it. If that’s the case and Bama knew they deserve all the trash thrown their way for hiding the truth and keeping Miller active.

Maybe I am deft at the moment, but what is this responding too.

Damn I am tired.

Are we going to throw Devo at Miller on Saturday, or is Miller too tall for him? Haven't watched a lot of Bama.

Miller is 6’9

Probably Walsh and Black. Let Graham and Mitchell’s protect the rim if he gets by.
