We will likely see him again but I suspect it will be in a limited capacity (maybe 8 minutes or so). Hoping we don’t try to force him back in just because. It will be nice to have him if we encounter an elite sized center.

I like this team.

They have some weaknesses, but they play hard for each other.
Guys like Dunbar and Spencer go all out every possession.

Harper and Brown always give great effort.

Okeke is becoming a real star.

4* 6’10 center Ebenezer Dowouna was at the game today. He’s a 2020 prospect we’ve made a priority recently. Ohio State may be the leader right now.

It's probably a bit of an overstatement but Spencer signing was the start of Bruce turning things around.

Horace plays with an energy and love of the game that is contagious. I will miss watching him. Watching him man up on Williams yesterday and send his shots back was awesome.

Had to listen on radio, Rods call of the Doughty 3 off the block to seal it was great. Didnt realize Dicky V was on TV call. TV call of Doughty 3

We have always showed up, and outside of the KY game, have been in every game. I've never seen them tank it this year.

Will we win? who knows. Depending on the shots that have the lowest percentage (3 pointers) is always going to cause issues. We don't have that inside power game without WIley.

The way we have played the last couple games in crunch time is what really stands out to me. In many losses we stormed back just to let the opportunity to close the game out slip from our grasp. We are maturing and gaining confidence quickly.

Just throwing this out there

I’m fairly lazy so if anybody would like to bump some great NBA Champion Avery vs. Bruce threads on the rant from a couple years ago I would be very much indebted to you and your well endowedness.

Palm released his up to date bracket and has us as a low 7. That surprises me. Figured with our current net (17), we're at least looking at a high 5 to high 6.

It’s even more puzzling when you look at the resume’s of the teams he has at 5 and 6..??

If we get a 7 that’s pretty BS

Pretty certain we are in this territory and our NET even has us in consideration for a 4. A 7 seed would be surprising.

17 would put us as the first 5 seed if NET was the only metric, but I could accept a high 6. 4 is feasible too. 7 is right out.

I've found a few good ones, including a 75 pg one by Tuscaloosa that starts with them thinking they're going to hire Gregg Marshall and covers that whole mess until they officially hired Avery.

Do you think threads that old will actually bump, or should I just put some links and start a new thread?

I don’t think that one will bump. I also don’t think you’ll get the reaction you’re hoping for

Links in a new thread.


Bumping old threads usually backfires.

And has led to bans.

I've seen two projections that have us at a 6, one with us facing Ohio State, and the other with us facing Baylor.
