Florida isn't that good. They had a good run with a great team, however the SEC sucks at basketball except Kentucky.

It's like seeing a Big East team have a good football season. Is UConn becoming a football power?!?!?!!?? NO THEY ARE NOT

Good run? 4 Final Fours, 3 NC games, 2 NCs since 1994, ranked in the top 5 for total wins in that span. Find me a 'football school' that comes close to this success.

at my own team

And CM Newton. Bama is one of the top 2-4 teams in the SEC historically.

Bama is second to Kentucky in SEC winning percetage. Did you know FL has a losing all-time SEC record? Bama, I think is also second to UK in SECT championships and reg. season championships.

Below are all-time SEC records thru 05', couldn't find more recent.

1.University of Kentucky 823-217 (.791)
2.University of Alabama 674-495 (.577)

I will be very happy with an SEC reg. season championship this year. For me, the season will be a success with that alone.

How about winning a couple of games in the NCAA's before you put bama in the same sentence with florida and Kentucky

This. If Wimp couldn't win with Horry, Spreewell and Robinson, then I'm not getting my hopes up, although I really like Grant. Grant reminds me of Dee Washington in "Remember the Titans". I can see him being like that.

Irons puppet- sir you are a true idiot. Are you even following basketball?

Anyways bammers, I think Grant is taking you in the right direction. I'm honestly hoping that Texas gets rid of Barns (underachievers) and brings Grant here to Texas. He will make Alabam very good. He can take them to the promised land I think.

To the world.

Conference titles are basically worthless in college basketball. People remember who advanced deep into the tournament, that's it.

Eh, all yall pointing to the total record is a little decieving. All that record tells me is that we are infinitely better now than we were at the start of the season. Do I think we are a great basketball team? no Do I think we are a good basketball team that is headed in the right direction and could be great soon? absolutely

How we do in the tourney is completely and totally dependent on who we get. If we get a team that is true to their seed, then we at least make second round, MAYBE 3rd if we get lucky.

Good years to come though if we can manage to keep Grant in Crimson and White for a while.

lol at Bama fans thinking they are a basketball dynasty now because they are having one decent season. Surely multiple recent football national titles and multiple basketball national titles is very comparable to Bama's programs.
