Just want to talk basketball bc I'm bored:
I told everyone last year that we wouldn't make the dance and I would be happy with the NIT. That was a realistic goal and it happened. Even when we were 16-9 and on the bubble or in the tourney according to some, I still didn't get my hopes up too much. Of course I did a little, but not a lot. Now after seeing one year of Avery's coaching I'll make my yearly prediction. This year will be a little better than last year and we WILL make the tourney. I think we'll play whoever we get really, really close and have a good shot at winning a game in the tourney. Of course I can't predict what'll happen bc idk who we would play but I say we finish like 21-11, 22-10 or something close to that and make the tourney.
What do y'all think?

I think that's a spot on assessment. I think we may have a little more upside surprise in us than people think. We aren't going to the Final Four yet but I think we may shock a big boy or two this year. Bigger than last year.

All depends if we can get consistent guard play and get a better offensive threat in the paint. I'm confident Dazon will be fine at PG though. He's pretty physical, knows how to get to the bucket, and can push the ball up court.
Hall and Taylor averaged closed to 2 blocks per game. So defensively, they're fine. What's bad though is Alabama still allows second chance opportunities. If Alabama is going to compete in the SEC, they have to get better on the backboards.
Ultimately, with news additions, I think Alabama can improve from the 18-win season last year. I just don't know of they'll be good enough to make the tournament. I have faith that Avery will get us there though.
