Gonzaga @ Alabama - TNT 8:30 CST

1 game sample size but I’m a huge fan of Bristow already.

Would be huge to get a win tonight, especially since it’s the first of 3 in a row.

This tournament and the SEC Tourney are the only 2 times all year where our style of play can be a bit of a disadvantage as we will play fast in all 3 games. We’ve already seen some tired shooting legs in the 2nd half of a couple of these big games, so not sure how our shooting holds up in 3 games over 3 days. Oats will have to keep people fresh (which he referenced in his press conference) and let’s go ahead and win this first one before fatigue even becomes an issue.

Tough one tonight. I think if we rebound we can win tho

Would be wild to have an IBOB the same week as the Iron Bowl. It's a long shot, but you never know.

He also looked very good during the exhibitions. I just don't get excited until it happens in a real game. And he did that against a legit talented team. He's definitely the MoDi replacement, except a little more if a natural big than a wing that can play some 4.

So outside of Bama the SEC is 1-14 against the top 60?

That’s not gonna help us come selection time because the SEC schedule will be viewed in a negative way.

Makes the noncon schedule that much more important.
