I did watch that run. UConn showed the gulf between them and everyone else. They shot 17 percent from 3 for the game and Illinois still couldn't touch them, that's how good they are. it wasn't like Illinois was getting bad looks they just couldn't do anything inside.

Luckily 'Bama is playing their best basketball of the season on both ends. Wrightsell coming back and a Pringle with two feet instead of one should be big.


This. If those two can be somewhat near full strength and shots are falling, you never know what might happen. Odds are it will be an easy win for UCONN but if Bama plays like there’s no pressure…

Everyone thought the same would happen against UNC. I know this UConn team is a much different beast, but the point remains. Inside will be tough sledding, so expect a barrage of 3's. I think 'Bama fans will stick to enjoying this win for now. This Alabama team has made history and that's enough for most of us.

Hey all you can ask for is a chance to show up and compete. It’ll be 0-0 at tip-off.

Bama has had teams twice as talented that didn't play this well. Its a crazy miracle run. A hot shooting driven team with nothing to lose is very dangerous.

Final Four banner finally going up... don't care what happens next Saturday.

UConn is looking like an all-time team. Just rain 3s from start to finish and let the chips fall where they may.

Sears

Griffen
Now Stevenson getting hot from 3 (5/8 tonight, wow)
Wrightsell coming back

'Bama has a lot of players that can knock down 3's. Just happy they have the opportunity at all. Amazing run.

Let’s go absolutely crazy and make Clingan useless defensively. All three pointers. The all Gohlke offense.

As much as I hate to admit it Bama might have the best chance of any team left to best UConn because of their style. If Bama has 4-5 players get from 3 it doesn’t matter how good the opponent is that can’t be stopped. The chances of them being that hot again are small but if they are there really isn’t t much UConn can do to counter it.

Has UConn played anyone with an offense line bama? I haven't been following their opponents... Where does their opponents in this tourney rank offensively?
