Bama might make the sweet sixteen this season, but no further. They don't have enough of an inside game and rely too heavily on the 3. They will play a good defensive team and lose.




Nah Bama plays great defense. Even if their three's aren't falling, they'll make up for it on the defensive end.

They are ranked 28th in offensive efficiency. No team has gone on a run not ranked in the top 12 if both offensive and defensive efficiency.

Bama is good...but the rest of the SEC is a turd full of corn...they are a weekend in March to get shocked by a Morehead State or make it to the Sweet 16 vs Michigan and get schooled in the paint.

ETA: updated KenPom has them 25th in offensive defensive efficiency after scoring 100 in OT.

That isn't true. Hell half the Final Four in 2019 and 3/4 of the Final Four in 2018 was outside the Top 20 in 1 of the categories.

2019 Final Four
- Auburn - #6 Off, #36 Def
- Texas Tech - #25 Off, #1 Def

2018 Final Four
- Michigan - #35 Off, #3 Def
- Loyola - #63 Off, #17 Def
- Kansas - #5 Off, #47 Def

2017 Final Four
- South Carolina - #91 Off, #3 Def
- Oregon - #17 Off, #17 Def
- Gonzaga - #16 Off, #1 Def

Run is winning the whole thing...and the UConn team that went on the run is the only team to do it.

Well, we aren't winning the whole thing. I don't think anybody thinks that.

We definitely have the profile to, if we play well, make a run to the Final Four. And teams with our similar efficiency profile almost never get bounced in the 1st round.

Maybe for Kentucky, but the rest of us peons in CBB see a run as winning 3 or 4 games.

We could get a bad matchup against a 7/8 seed and lose in Round 2, but I'd be shocked if we lost a 1st round game to a 14/15 seed (the fact that I even have to say this is what #ThisIsAlabamaBasketball is all about).

I mean, for one because it doesn't happen much, but also because the recent history of teams with efficiency profiles like ours are pretty consistent in how those teams perform in the tournament.

Just admit you don’t know wtf you’re talking about and pull stats out of your arse. You meant run you didn’t mean whole thing if you would’ve meant the whole thing you would’ve said it.

Ok, but you realize those numbers are adjusted right? Your OT remark was the most confusing to me.
