It's still way early and tourney is all about the right matchups but they are definitely legit.

UNC isn't good. Bama is a dang good tean, just don't base it off that win.

Duke and Carolina are very mediocre to bad this year.

Carolina was mediocre last year and then made the final four.

Bama has a team that can win it all. But it is a long season.

Actually I think it is a strong possibility. We will be very good, but Saban will be on a mission and their players have learned they cannot take anyone lightly.

Barring a catastrophic injury they probably should win.

I mean they are talking basketball, you fricking idiot. Read the room. And take a lap.




The room chooses to ignore the OP. The OP is talking about football, I would guess.

If they don't Saban needs to hang it up. The game will have passed him by if we win another Natty in another rebuilding year while they have the most talent in CFB.

Alabama should be embarrassed this year, honestly.


What a compliment to a college athletic program!!
When the thread topic is I think Bama wins the title this year…, and posters reply to multiple sports!
It don't get much better than that

Meh UConn and Gonzaga handled us pretty well. We’re good enough to win a NC but that’s very difficult to do in basketball

This isn't about basketball. It is about this year in football. Congrats to winning the Championship in football this year.

Bama has a shite ton of talent. The defense is playing awesome. The offense was clutch last night when it looked like Arky was making a comeback.

That is true. Teams with lots of 1&Dones tend to be better at the end of the year of course.

More teams are getting 1&done type players now.

No, but I'd trade a couple football championships for a basketball title.

Okay, you Bama fans don't need to be all defensive.

Bama has a very good team and they're playing very well.

I'm not rooting against your team. We as sports fans know that things change. Teams change. Ups and downs. Especially in bball. Teams get hot and cold for short periods.

We have no idea how the year will play out. I mean, didn't Bama beat a few top5 teams early last year too?

Hell, the SEC had a bunch of teams make the tourney last year and most went out in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

Bama is the team to beat in the SEC right now.

Yeah. But they also lost some non conference games they shouldn’t have and then started 2-3 in SEC play. This is not last year’s team.

Alabama's an entirely different team from last year. This year's team is 11 deep, has the size and skill in numbers!....and they have the desire to bust their asses on defense. Teams like this have very few "off nights", and can usually win if/when they do.
I've followed Alabama basketball for over 65 years, and with the exception of the '75-'76 team, this is looking like the best club I've seen'em have!

Basketball is such a crapshoot once the tourney starts, but they’d be in the contender category. I think it’s too early to give any of this serious consideration though.

I think they may have the best player in America. They also shoot the 3 much better this year (hard to believe). IDK… they’re gonna be really tough.

No way. The proper ratio is 1 Football NC = 3 Basket NCs = 1 Million Baseball NCs.

the tournament is mean and fickle

the best team doesn't always win

hell the favorite for the regular season SEC title should still be Tennessee with their better draw and amazing play
