re: Guess which NBA PG shot 25 free throws last night?

I hope she wins and sinks the NFL. Roger Goodell deserves it.
Also, so this is where Nate Oats gets his assholery. Oats is real close with the Hurley's. They pretty much got him into the college game. Remember a few years ago he did this to LSU:
There should be a dedicated "Hurley Cam" for every single game he coaches in. I could binge watch Hurley videos.

Bama had a shot to make it really close.. They are better but Oats had them playing his pace and we went cold at a bad time. Mara was sucking eggs at the half.
It would have taken us shooting well and Bama did not have a good shooting game . Make them keep playing that first half pace and they might have run out of gas.
That's where it would have helped to have Holloway who averages 17ppg and shoots it at 48% for the season and 43% from 3 point land. He messed his teammates and himself up. Philon kind of had to do everything and didn't have much help. I guess Philon made himself some money tho.

Dang, they are getting smoked. Alabama put up a better fight and they were missing their second best scorer. Seems like Tennessee is never gonna get over that hump and into a Final 4.

I'm on team Levin. I still do not trust Megyn. Mark at least has been super supportive of Trump for several years.

So is there any town in Louisiana where the majority of the population still speak French as their first language? I've always wondered as an outsider.
This guy is from Minnesota. Nothing good ever comes out of Minnesota. They have a pretty good track record of that.
Holloway shot 48% from the field this season and 43% from three point land. It was a gut punch. Definitely needed him. Absolutely dumb he threw it all away when he was already making NIL money.

“Nate Oats can’t get past the Sweet 16, he sucks!” all while celebrating rehiring a coach who has never made it past the Sweet 16
Not only that, but he only has 1 Sweet 16 in 12 seasons as head coach. Oats has more Sweet 16's in the last two seasons than he does in 12. Oats has 5 Sweet 16's, 2 Elite 8's and 1 Final 4 in 5 out of the last 6 seasons. Willy is terrible at picking his battles :lol:
re: Bama fans. How angry are you with Holloway?
Posted by Contra on 3/28/26 at 11:27 am to HailToTheChiz
I mean it was 17ppg that was lost. It's a pretty big deal. It's disappointing. We definitely could have used him. It is what it is. Sweet 16 is still good given all the injuries this season and the lack of a rim protecter. Philon made him some money last night.
Yeah, I'm sure Nate fears a guy who has 1 Sweet 16 appearance in 12 seasons as head coach :lol:
We were always going to be fighting an uphill battle in the tourney after losing Aden Holloway. Losing 17ppg is a pretty big deal. We were able to overcome it in the first two games in a big way, but we definitely could have used him tonight. It is what it is. I'd say the season was a success considering all the injuries they had to endure all season and the lack of a rim protecter. Still finished 2nd place in the SEC and made the Sweet 16 even after losing our second best player. I trust in Oats that he will get this thing straightened out.

UNC 'insiders' are regurgitating this lie that he expressed interest in their job but "they don't want him" lol. Spoken liken a broken fan base trying to justify why a big name HC doesn't want to coach there.
Gonna be funny if UNC strikes out like UK did with all their candidates. You don't need to go to a blueblood anymore to win big.

And everything he just said goes out the window when UNC calls.
As said above, already happened with UK. Actually, he shut it down before it even got that far. You don't need to go to a blueblood basketball program to win big anymore. NIL has completely changed the landscape. Oats has taken Alabama to 5 Sweet 16's, 2 Elite 8's and 1 Final Four in 7 seasons as head coach at Alabama. The only thing he has lacked is a big man or two that can protect around the rim. As soon as he can fix that go along with the guard play he produces every season, he has as good a shot to win it all as anybody.

Good. As some others have said about Wade, the SEC is better for having Oats in it.
Indeed. The renewal of the Oats/Wade rivalry is something I'm very much looking forward to. The league has some insane coaching now. Only two programs with huge ? marks are Auburn and South Carolina (and even he has an NCAA tourney appearance).

Nate Oats and his rep have had “discussions” with the University of Alabama about a new contract, the Alabama basketball coach said Thursday.
Oats, however, said “I don’t have an offer in hand.”
quote:
“We’ve had discussions,” Oats said. “I’m open to redoing (the contract). But I’m not really looking to leave. I’m pretty honest with them. If they come up with one that makes sense to do, it’s good. I’d love to stay there.”
quote:
Oats then added “it’s probably getting close.”
“We’ll see where it takes us,” Oats said.
quote:
He affirmed multiple times he is not looking to leave.
“I feel like I’m probably too honest with everybody, includes you guys in the media, and sometimes you use it against me, which is fine,” Oats said. “I’m going to be honest, I’m going to tell you what I’m thinking. I’m probably too honest with the administration. I’m not looking to leave. They don’t need to be in a huge rush to fix a really good contract that I’ve got right now.”

Oats says there are discussions ongoing about a new contract. Byrne just needs to do his job (which he has) and take care of him. It used to be Saban, but Oats is now the top dog on campus. Give him whatever he wants.

As much as Oats and Wade may or may not like each other, I get the sense that both would rather blaze their own trail than just go to the bigger school.
Yep. It's obvious they like the challenge. Wade just wants to be back at LSU. Oats loves it at Alabama. He's talked before how he likes football and being a two sport school.
