Bama's biggest win was against a team who's now in the Final Four. UAB's biggest win was against Arkansas.
AU beat a Sweet 16 team this year.

No doubt. FSU was no pushover. Jerry Palm's claim that AU may be the worst team of the decade was ridiculous.

No doubt, but there are more than a few on here going wayyy over board. I think I am pretty objective regarding bama basketball. Like I said, I got no beef with the program and will pull for them.


Agreed, some need to pump those brakes. I'd love to have a killer program, but to act like we are already there is a little much.

Arkansas beat that same final four team. That doesn't mean we deserved an NIT bid.

They were close, but Palm seems to just focus on RPI and SOS. Both can be useful numbers, but to overemphasize either leads to ridiculous conclusions.

Also, AU saved themselves from being the worst team of the decade by playing pretty good team d and not quitting on their coach or on the season despite losing so much.

Lastly, LSU helped them avoid wining the worst team title as well.

I still think we should have been in the tourney over a couple teams, UAB being the foremost of them. The way this tournament has gone so far this year, I think Bama getting as far as the sweet 16 is looking like it would have been a lot more possible that it looked a few weeks ago. We sucked the first half of the season, but thats called improving as a team over a season, and should have been factored into the decision more.

But if if's and but's were candy and nuts, we'd all have a mouth full of cavities.

When I went to boulder for the game this year, we went out to their bars on Friday night. I kid you not about every 200 yards or so there was a real-life, just like in the movies drum circle. Kids with greasy hair pulled into pony tails sitting in a circle and playing bongos.

Good luck to Alabama. Since the NCAA has kicked around the idea of 're-seeding' at the Final Four, now that the NCAA 'owns' the NIT, I'm surprised they didn't move Alabama and Colorado to face the other teams since they come in as 1 seeds.

well it happens to be a flawed statement, since we beat Colorado. No biggie though.

ok. I'm not the one baiting people using factually incorrect statements. And yes I know I took the bait, I take it every single time I can't help myself
