We have a new coach and it will take a while for him to put his mark on the program. That being said...where do we rank in the SEC at the end of the year?
Where do ya'll see Bama finishing in conference play this year?

Bottom half. 7-8 wins. I think Bama will be a step above the cellar dwellers, Vandy, aTm and USCe. Stealing a couple could land Bama on the bubble, maybe with a puncher's chance of dancing if it's a weak one.
Don't think this will be a great year, but a good foundational one going forward.

The barn finished in a tie for 4th with USCe, LSU were SEC champs. The barn won the SEC tournament.
I think that it really is too early to tell, as these guys could steal some nice wins.
I agree, they've been to close for it not to be the case. Would love for them to get Florida in the first in conference game.
Still way too early to make a prediction for me. I just love the effort on the court though. Positive things to come for sure.
8-10 and 16-15 overall. No postseason.
I could see Bama getting to 10-8 with growth as the season progresses, but we'll have to actually see that happen first.

According to the ESPN predictor, BAMA only has a better than 50% chance to win 4 of our conference games. I will say we win 3 of those and win 2 we should not to finish 5-13, good for next to last in the SEC. With a loss in round 1 of the SEC tourney, year one of Nate Oats’ tenure ends with a 12-20 mark overall.
I like Nate and think he is the right coach, but I hate to say, it is going to take Oats a couple of years to get us competitive and to the dance. Avery left a mess and it will not be fixed overnight. I expect 7-9 conference wins in year two and to be in the discussion for a NCAA bid. Year 3 I expect being in the top half of the league and a NCAA bid.

With Bama's recent play, I'm actually starting to think .500 in conference play is a realistic goal. Just hope they're not peaking right now and thus excellent run of play continues.
Exceed .500, and all of the sudden the dance is a real possibility.

I’m not expecting it to be our 3rd year, Avery didn’t leave him with a pile of junk. You can obviously tell he’s coaching them up better. Seems like our conference isn’t as strong as last couple years so I think we can do something this year if we stay healthy with no depth. No way we finish with only 12 wins
