Offensively that half was brutal. We need to improve greatly in order to suck. I will slash my wrists before enduring 20 more points in 20 more minutes....

Can we get to 18 wins before the SEC? Can we get Petty back for our next two games? So you are saying there is a chance.

What would this team look like with a Antonio McDyess, Chuck Davis or Erwin Dudley? Can you imagine an Ennis Whatley at point?
Kira played his arse off tonight. Petty is not only an essential scorer, he is our second best defender and rebounder. We can't win without a healthy Kira, Petty, Herb a...

What were the NET rankings of the final 8 at large teams last year? That might go a long way toward making me more confident we make the tourney this year with 18 wins.
I really want to believe because I think 18 wins is doable.
We do have some quality close losses but we took a while to find our...

Our current road record is 3-6. Granted we lost 3 of those away games to ranked teams in conference at LSU, AUB and KY. We also lost at Penn St and at RI. All those are tournament teams. If Miss St, Belmont, Richmond, AUB and LSU make the tournament we would have 5 wins over NCAA teams. Could be 6 i...

I guess that I am old school but I think the committee will struggle to put a team (ARK, 4-8) with a losing conference record in ahead of teams with a winning record. But that works against Ala unless they go on a run because State, FLA and SC have far better conference marks. Guess I just don't be...

I hate to say it, but I think our chances to get a bid depend on whether we can defeat the sec teams who may be ahead of us, like Miss State and SC. They have better conference records than us, better overall records, and are probably ahead of us on the bracket curve. Tall order and a lot of pressur...

We don't win that game without Herb's 16 rebounds, 6 points and 3 assists. He also had ton of blocks, charges taken and deflections and steals. Galin had 10 points, was 6-7 from the line and had 6 rebounds. Easily his best game. Kira and Shack carried us offensively but Herb was the difference in t...

We need to put JQ in a Mission Impossible mask and get him on the floor as one of our walk-ons. LOL Can't wait to see him on the court. Can you imagine a lineup of JQ, Kira, JP, Herb and a healthy Reese. Would be fun to watch. ...

So we won in OT after we committed fewer team fouls than GA, (19-24), had fewer turnovers(13-14) and was only outrebounded by 6 (35-41). In my view, these are the key areas determining our future success. I dare say that if you look at our losses, they would all show how we got whipped badly in one ...

I don't know what is more frustrating, the fact that we can't defend without fouling, our careless turnovers, or the way the other team out rebounds us on their offensive glass. If we could just even that up we we be so much more competitive. We are losing at the free throw line and the other team ...

I think Reese could develop into one of Bama's most dangerous players. He can guard a 5 and is a matchup nightmare for someone like Wiley. He forces a big to guard in space and opens the middle for Kira and Herb.
He can put it on the floor and finish. He is not limited like Galin to post up moves b...

I like the pace of play but you still have to defend, rebound and take care of the basketball. A quick shot is not necessarily a good shot. I want Bama to take the first good shot.
Petty sure looks at home in the Bahamas. ...

Awesome guy on and off the court, Very big in the FCA, lives his life like a role model. Can't say enough about his effort on the court. His weakness seems that sometimes he tries to do too much and does not let the game come to him. However, his teammates sometimes just stand and watch when he goes...
