Without a doubt. I feel like there will always be one game where the 3s don't fall and we get beat.

I think Auburn and UF match up better and have a legit shot.

Duke plus three refs is tough.

Bama doesn’t play defense.

Duke has put a 40 spot on Bama just in the paint. They got basically anything they wanted.

No reason to keep the starters in. Anyway, good season bama, you just weren't at your best today.

Yeah he's not a pure scorer, but he is an all around player at a very young age. He is legit.


I expect him to go to the league and basically be Blake Griffin without the highlight reel dunks.

Wasn’t the showing Bama hoped for but Flagg is a future perennial NBA all star and his supporting cast is legit. Heck of a season nonetheless

Honestly, I was shocked the whistle seemed decently balanced. Probably due to us being down big most of the game.

Duke was just better, and this was expected by those of us that know basketball. It got a little worse towards the end than I expected, but I posted this morning that I’d take Duke to cover if forced. They’re a really bad matchup for us.

Yep, I hate Duke, but any fan of the game had to be impressed the way they held Bama down tonight. Not easy to do.

SEC still has 3 teams left, and the Vols and the Barn have good shots to make it 3 in the Final Four.

Disappointing game tonight for Bama and SEC fans. I thought this would be a shootout.

Agree and was saying the same thing. My buddy raise a good point though - wouldn’t you want to be on the court when the clock hits zero to send your team to the final four.

I think we should have taken Flagg out with 4-5 mins left. Every minute he can stay off that ankle is probably helpful.

Yeah man. Sorry. Tournament is all about matchups and unfortunately this was a bad one.

Bama would have fared far better against Michigan State or Tech or even Houston IMO.

Yeah, Florida and Auburn can score a lot more points in the paint other than layups. And Florida's guards are the best in the SEC, maybe in the nation.

AU/Bama trolling is always fun, but good season, gumps. Nice tournament run until you met a team that you didn't match up with well at all, who has a great chance at winning the championship this year.

I was not expecting an adolescent, unintelligent response.. yet, got one anyway. When you have to resort to name calling, taking someone's life as a means of making a point that absolutely has nothing to do with you.. your intellect (null set; room temperature; childish approach to life) shines through. Hope you grow up sometime soon.

This was what I posted pregame, it turned out to be spot on. . .

"Duke is nothing like the cupcakes alabama has played so far.

Their starting lineup is 6’6”, 6’6”, 6’7, 6’9”, 7’2”. They have the tallest roster in the NCAA. They won’t go under screens like BYU because they have size. Duke can also easily switch on defense.

alabama has size on the front line but their guards are short. They will struggle against the length of Duke and their ability to switch.

Odds are this game looks like the two matchups alabama had against Florida. I’ll tip my cap to them if I’m wrong. Duke is beatable but I don’t see it tonight."
