Going to be funny when Bama can't hit shite this weekend in a must win game inside their own gym.

I thought we were a trigger happy team last year but that was a whole other animal.

Nearly 60 3s they shot even with a deeper 3 point line. Like wtf.

Wiley was huge tonight.

Can't imagine Okoro being out...that'd be 3 years straight we lost the only guy we couldn't afford to lose.

He's not the only guy we couldn't afford to lose. Any injury to just about anybody in these 3 teams would/would've been a gut punch.

In 2018 we lost our only big.

In 2019 we lost our only score on his own guy in the tourney.

I doubt Okoro is out for the season, but he makes this team better at ever level.

We didn’t absorb the Mclemore loss very well in 18. Put us at 8 schollys. We did beat Bama and USCe afterwards then but otherwise we slid pretty hard.

We absorbed the Okeke loss fine until Virginia. We should’ve beat Virginia regardless, but there would’ve been no question if Okeke was still healthy.

Okoro was a big loss. Jury’s out.

We were undersized w limited depth in the post and lost our starting center having a breakout year. We had no one to replace Anfernee

Okoro will be a blow in terms of dropoff but at least we have depth and options.

Harper can't get his own buckets against elite talent.

Did you not watch the last 6 minutes of elite 8 against Kentucky? That was all Harper.

And AU dropped to 32 on KenPom, below a 14-10 Wisconsin and 12-11 Minnesota. I really hate that fricking ranking system, but alas, I continue to look at it.
