Looking at the Reid situation it makes me wonder why he even came to Alabama?
Signs with us , gets hurt doesn’t do much of anything for the year and decides to leave?
So it wasn’t about Oats, the style of play, success of program , of future NCAA wins or the appeal of the University, commitment to fellow teammates. If it was a matter of a few more dollars we would’ve probably met his demand. So why the heck?

It’s mainly the agents who are screwing things up. They are treating College players like they would professional athletes.
They are peddling players to different universities and encouraging them to go with the highest bidder, everything else be damned. Easy to sway young minds and their greedy handlers.

Reminds me of our 10rC game. Great defense by Houston and clutch shooting.

Let’s hope we keep Philon at all costs except the NBA option.
Too many new faces mess up the chemistry and it takes many games to re-establish it.
We never really gelled this year like the previous year even though this team had more talent.
That said,hated to see Dioubate leave.

Embarrassing way to end the season. Elite 8 or not good teams just don’t play like this.
This was the problem with our team this year. Extremely up and down. Could not tell how they would play one game from the next.
We are playing in the same arena with the same rims and we can’t make open shots or layups.

My only complaint is giving up too many easy points around the basket. We are shooting great and making FTs. That needs to continue but the defense has to tighten up , we did a little of that close to the end of the half.

Maybe he could play the 4 and we get a 5 that can score. One 5 from Iowa who can score just portalled to Creighton.

Rodman was 6’8” . Barkley 6’5”. I know there are exceptions but Chest had 18 rebounds against us.

We are a 4.5 point favorite over BYU. Opening line.

I think the advantage we have might be the tough schedule we have played but we still have to shoot well, especially 3s.
