Alabama with a big victory over #1 Gonzaga last night in Seattle. Ole Miss takes down #18 Memphis.

As the season progresses it is starting to look like the SEC may well be the best league in college basketball.

Bama was on fire from 3 like they were against us at home last year. Unreal.

Gonzaga is overrated as frick and Memphis is too young to be a legitimate contender.

Still weird to see only one ranked team from the ACC, I guess times are changing.

Alabama did look good. Their 3 guard trio of Quinnerly, Shackleford, and Davidson are going to be a difficult match up for LSU.

I agree, but Pinson/Murray/Gaines is as good a defensive guard lineup we’ve ever had. So I think if they go small, so do we. Not to mention Wilkinson

Gonzaga is #3. They have had some rare struggles in the last 3 games. They lost to Duke (understandable), they only beat Tarleton State (who I have never heard of in my life) by just 9 points, and then Bama handled them pretty easily. Gonzaga did handle UCLA easily before this stretch and beat Texas by 10+ though. Their coach isn't afraid to schedule tough games.

Day's will end the year this year about where he finished last year and about where he is right now - a 40% 3 pt. shooter. I think he's forced some things after a hot start and has settled into his mean - he'll be fine.

Pinson and Gaines need to take a cue from Mwani - only shoot open 3's catch and shoot. Mwani knows his limitations and is shooting 40% from 3 because that's the only kind he takes. Gaines and Pinson need to follow suit. Cut out the step back and dribble 3's, they can't make those.

I think Murray will prove to be a good 3-pt shooter over time this year.

I think Eason is actually a decent shooter from 3 and will end the season as a 35% 3-pt shooter which I can live with .

Fudge and Reid probably don't need to be shooting any IMHO.

I gotcha. Great win for Bama either way. It was a packed house too.

Yeah. 18,000 fans packed in there. Too bad for them that was considered a neutral site win because it was far from it.

They miss a ton of good looks. There aren’t a ton of bad shot 3’s. They just really can’t shoot. The bad shots by guys that can’t shoot are definitely amplified, though.

I thought Tarleton was a brand of cigarettes aren’t they

Bama is a premature-ejaculation!

Their HC has sown the wind and will reap General’s Whirlwind!!!
