They have quality losses. Wins don’t matter to the NCAA. They are talented, but will not win the SEC based on also losing to OSU and Clemson. 6-5 will be 8-5 when the league starts up.

The hatred toward Auburn is just as bad and I'm leading the parade. They just have thinner skin because the cult is a sensitive bunch. They earned it.

Alabama has absolutely no post presence and no rim protector defensively. Despite all that, we still had a chance late in the 2nd half against the #1, #4, and #10 ranked teams on the road.
This team will go 10-8 or 9-9 in the SEC and be anywhere from an #8 to #10 seed in the NCAA tournament

The Bama football team has also likely done this more than any other team in the country the last 10 years.

That schedule has Bama currently ranked #9 in NET and #9 in KenPom. Obviously Bama will have to put together a winning conference record but it is funny to see so many people wrongly assuming Bama’s OOC schedule has them in trouble with respect to NCAA tournament.
Those people simply have an understanding of how the selection process works.
In the past two tournaments, only 8 teams have been selected for an at-large bid with fewer than 20 wins. Five of those were out of the BIG10, two from the Big 12, and one from the SEC (Bama in 2022).
It’s hard for an SEC team to get in with less than 20 wins because we don’t play as many Quad 1 games in league play.
Those 8 teams averaged playing 16.1 Quad 1 opponents and averaged 6.8 Quad 1 wins.
This season, Bama currently sits at 1-5 against Quad 1 opponents. Torvik projects Bama will play 9 Q1 games in SEC play.
So Bama’s looking at a likely resume of 15 Q1 opponents…. One fewer than the average of 16.1 of teams who got in with less than 20 wins…. And they’ll need to go 5-4 in those big games to have a shot at a bid.
Basically Bama is 6-5 and they are going to need to get to 19 wins to get a bid. Bama has a guaranteed 21 games left to play. Can they go 13-8 from here on out? It’s certainly possible, but to act like there is tons of breathing room is ridiculous.

If Bama gets to 8-5 ooc, which they should, then I believe 10-8 in SEC will get them in. If they can’t achieve that then no complaints about not getting in NCAA tournament. If the bubble is strong then maybe they need to get to 11-7 and/or win one game in SEC tournament. Point stands - if they can’t do that then no real complaints about NCAA tournament decision.

We have basketball, baseball, every other sport. Football will be back as well. Outside of football, the Bammers don’t have shite but their sisters.

We are missing an inside shot blocker-rebounder. But leadership on the floor is what is getting us beat. When you are ahead in the second half and start to get stale and let the other team back in you have to have someone to take charge and make shots and get the rest of the team to step it up. That is missing and we will be middle of the pack until that is addressed.
