Nah, we suck.

Bama has a solid team. Not sure why you guys are so down on this year's team. If you guys could rebound, you'd be in the Top 20 right now. Losing to Kentucky (even in a blow out) and losing two SEC road games by a combined four points is hardly anything to get discouraged about. Your schedule gets way easier from here on out, and I think you'll go 11-7 or better in SEC play.

You relied on a hot shooting night to stay in a game you wouldn't typically be in. That was his WHOLE point. Are you seriously that stupid?


I don't think it's necessarily a shock to see a team of college basketball players have better luck hitting wide open 3's as opposed to the contested 3's they're used to getting. Every team we play tends to do a pretty good job of making their open 3's.

Still completely disgusted by our defensive strategy and ineptness (offensive efficiency) against a zone. Why do we no longer get the ball to the top of the box, ever, against a zone?

With that said, good win. One that we needed very badly after last week. Hopefully this will be the start of a nice winning streak and we can build up some momentum.

Madden actually played better. Not great, but better. Maybe he'll get his shite together.

We do. All the time. Harris just can't hit the broad side of a barn. Harris got the ball open at the top of the box at least 10 times against Ole Miss and missed damn near every shot. If we had a decent shooting 3 to put in his spot, we'd be golden.

Based on what? 64 teams make the tourney. Our RPI is 26. Our fanbase shocks me sometimes.

Yep. If we had a decent SF that had a midrange game, we would destroy people in the half court. As it stands, we have no midrange game. So the zone destroys our offense.

Seriously, it'd be fun to watch Alabama play with a legitimate center and power forward who could bang. That team would be capable of giving quality teams trouble every night.

Or if we could consistently hit 20 threes per game.

Or if we had Michael Jordan playing at guard.

Or if we had an offensive idea.

Or any number of other if's that we can't do or don't have.

Grant sucks.

The offense has no problems against a zone when proper spacing and ball movement take place.

They do it at times, a good example was tonight were a court reversal via 3 passes led to a wide open shot for Qualls in the corner.

The main problem is dribbling at the wing or top of the key trying to get the ball to the FT line, if it isn't there, the ball shouldn't touch the ground, a few passes then court reversal will open up the center of a zone or a wide open three will result via the way the defense rotates. Its a take what they give situation while a few players try to force things too often.

You're just jaded

You're solid both offensively and defensively. Not great at either, but good enough to be a top team. There aren't many teams that can play reasonably well both ways, and Bama is one of them this year.

You just can't rebound. South Carolina and Arkansas both beat Alabama solely because of Alabama's inability to limit their offensive rebounds. Otherwise, those games aren't close.

Still think you'll make the tourney. We can revisit later if you want.

You're right. We can't rebound. We also don't have a scorer inside. And yes, I AM jaded. That's because I've been watching deficient basketball for five years. And no, we don't make the tourney.

And 9th in the country in offensive efficiency according to KenPom.

Your defense sucks, though. There's a reason teams that aren't known for their three-point shooting consistently go off on Arkansas.

It'd take a pretty shitty end to the season for you guys to miss the tournament, though.
