Nate Oats is emerging as a National Coach of the Year candidate
Alabama was 4-3 on Dec. 19th after losing at home to Western Kentucky and seemed destined for a middle of the pack finish in the SEC. Instead, it’s won eight straight games by an average of 17.8 points, including Tuesday night’s 105-75 rout of LSU in Baton Rouge. How did Oats orchestrate such an impressive turnaround in a single month? “It started by holding guys more accountable,” Oats said last week. Something else that had a big thing to do with it? Defense. One year after allowing an average of over 80 points in SEC play, the Crimson Tide are now competing defensively. During its eight-game winning streak, Alabama is only surrendering an average of 69.5 points. That’s a credit to Oats, who is quickly picking up steam in the National Coach of the Year race with guys like Gonzaga’s Mark Few and Baylor’s Scott Drew.

I'd like to know as well. That would be my guess too. The Urban/Donovan was one hell of a combo.

So it's a down year for SEC basketball just like it was for SEC football.

Agreed. COVID is the only possible explanation as to how those guys sunk all those threes. Over and over and over again.
