Alabama is Legit - Growing NC Contender Talk

I just can’t see UT scoring over 70 vs our D
And I can’t see them holding us under 70.
Auburn scares me at their place. Because at their place is like playing at a teenage rave. It’s one big box of inferior immature emotion. And it’s hard to overcome.

You just described Jordan-Hare as well. Heck... you just described AU as a University.

Actually it was "round mound of rebound"...

Or " the bread truck "

 

[teamplayer]

you know? I don’t know if that’s a given anymore. I am hoping that some teams will pack it up after the NCAA Tourney is out of reach. I’m hoping we get at least a couple teams that just mail it in.

mostly because our guys will need some non-emotional games because it’s a long season for freshmen.

That is a very good point. Most freshmen hit a wall in mid-to-late-February because that is when their high school seasons ended for them and they get run down. We have some nice experience and depth, but we also rely on a few freshmen for a lot of production. Either way, this team has been really fun to watch, and I look forward to the rest of the season.

Shirtless has definitely got them going well. I think the smaller venue design helps too. I look for our new facility to follow suit.

One of the best home court advantages in the nation.

Another week, another major Power Rankings reshuffling -- including at No. 1

Big upsets continue the chaos of conference play in 2022-23 and upend the top 16.

I love JQ. Wish he could stay another year

At some point Bama may *GASP* lose a couple games in a row. 20 games into the season we can say that this is a great team capable of winning it all even if they drop a few games at some point.

That is a valid point in fact they play Tennessee and the Barn soon in back-to-back road games. I honestly do not look for them to win both and would not be shocked if they dropped both.

Are you feeling OK? Will the real CJ please step forward...

Might add that the home cooking will be strong in both those games.

We have withstood the "home cooking" at Houston, Fayetteville, and Columbia.

This team has shown they are comfortable in the anybody's kitchen

I'm realistic and, with our shooting percentages lately, I can see us losing some games. HOWEVER, we've never been this deep and if Dom and Nimari can get back and JQ as well, we will have a plethora of "hot-hand" possibilities that should give us, oh, say, an edge...

Charles Bediako has to get better.
He was the #35 player from that recruiting cycle.

He's a sophomore. He's better this year than last but he's still getting pushed around at times. He'll be better next year as a more experienced junior with added weight he can't put on during the playing season.

True ... and he not only outplayed the national player of the year in Tshiebwe, he held him in check as well. I think UK game with us was the first time Tshiebwe didn't have more rebounds than the opposing team.

Bediako just got to keep growing his skills. Clowney is getting more PT because he's just a different type of athlete.

I prefer it when Pringle is in the game in his place. What he lacks in skill, he makes up for in athleticism and aggressiveness.
