Looks like we are now at a place where it's Final 4 or bust as a Bama fan every year for the foreseeable future.
I hope not. The tournament is a fickle arse beast. But I do think it's build a team that compete for the conference title and make a tournament run or bust for sure. There will be better years than other roster wise just because of how the portal is, but we're definitely in a place where we can expect to be very good on a yearly basis.

There's a lot of teams where it's final 4 or bust. Kansas, Duke, UNC, Gonzaga, Kentucky, UConn, etc. It just means that's the expectation every year.

Yeah getting to the Final Four is fricking hard and usually involves at least some amount of luck. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect us to consistently field 20+ win teams competing for the conference championship and a high seeding in the NCAA tournament though. Oats has elevated us to that tier already and there's no signs of it being a flash in the pan. Postseason college basketball is pure chaos and putting pie in the sky expectations on it is just begging for disappointment. You have to enjoy it for the beautiful mess that it is. Coach K went to 13 Final Fours. He also failed to survive the first weekend 10 times. All you can do is put together a team good enough to go on a run and let the chips fall.
