Bubble games: February 25th edition


If we keep playing how we've played the last 3 games, I wouldn't mind the 8 seed. I want this team to get a shot at a #1 seed. I mean being a 7 seed would make a tourney run more realistic, but you've got to play a really good team in the 2nd round no matter where you are seeded. The 8-9 games are going to be very competitive. I bet we get a team like Iowa State.

I don't worry about their seed # as much as I worry about matchups. Bama could get to the sweet sixteen with the right matchups.

I watched that Bama v Stanford game where Bama beat a #1 seed. It was painful to watch how fundamentally unsound Bama was under Gottfried. How Bama won that game in spite of running down and jacking up threes is amazing. Bama is in much better hands now to make a tournament run.
