Losing Hall is the equivalent of 11 ppg but that's nothing Sexton and Petty can't make up for on any given night. They'll feel his absence the most on the glass where he averages 7 rpg. With our luck, Braxton Key returns to his form from last year and puts up 12-15 on us

He's a much bigger part of their offense than you give credit. He is shooting an absurd 75% 2FG and somehow one of their better FT shooters at 65% (

I'd say it is rim protection moreso than rebounding. Donta Hall has been an elite shot blocker his entire career and is #28 nationally in KenPom's Block%. The more impressive part of that is Hall only averages about 3.1 fouls / 40m this year which makes him especially dangerous.
While Giddens is an adequate replacmeent rim protector, Giddens averages 8.6 fouls per 40min (

While I imagine it will hurt, Bama has some replacement length/big bodies that have hurt us in recent games + Dazon Ingram which who is an elite backcourt rebounder. That said, I don't see their young, inexperienced front court getting position or out hustling our crafty undersized bigs.

I think Braxton Key is overrated AF and not a good player. Unfortunately, he has the potential to be great in those rare games he isn't a moron. I definitely could see him putting 15 on us and never doing it again all year
