Famous case of "I had my whistle in my mouth"
Sherrell why do you foul the smallest player on the floor on drives???
Mallette is just such an easy cover. Guy plays hard, but without downhill pressure from 2 other guards he becomes a problem for our offense

Gotta pay for that new arena we started 6 years ago

I think Williamson is the worst Bama sports player since Chris Capps. It’s unreal how bad he is.


It's hard to understand how this guy averaged 17/7 at any D1 level.

re: Kentucky has fired Mark Stoops

Stoops went 5-7 this year and 4-8 last year. Not great. Not horrible. Joker Philips had a losing record all 3 years and had them go 2-10 in his final year. Rich Brooks lost at least 5 games all 7 years he was there.

Kentucky is not a good job. They're not going to spend a ton on football. I doubt their next hire does as well as Stoops did.


I feel like that as well. It feels like NIL just ruined any small chance they had of staying competitive. It surprises me that they can find anyone that will take that job. Aside from Bear Bryant, UK is a place where coaches go to die and when you look at the struggles of their basketball program in recent history, the last concern the fanbase has is with the football programs NIL needs.

Jalen has his moment both ways. You can't take away what he has done in the Nfl though. Been to 2 super bowls, won one. Gonna have the nfl qb rushing td record when all is said and done. Betting he makes Hof.


Super Bowl MVP as well.
Thanks, im struggling to keep up with the walking wounded.
Is it just a foregone conclusion that we are not going to play Collins
Onyejiaka any more to save his redshirt so he can transfer at the end of the year and retain full eligibility? I ask, because the more I see of Williamson, the more I can't understand.
A bad MRI for Bristow would be a huge body blow to the season. We need good news there.

Brandon Miller was the most skilled player I’ve seen at Bama in my lifetime.


Miller was the most skilled from high school to college at Bama i have seen. I will go to my grave saying that Antonio McDyess was the highest ceiling guy i have ever seen in Tuscaloosa. Was really close to being the top power forward in NBA prior to the injuries
We have coincidentally bumped into Maryland a lot in the last 5/6 years
This tournament is just poorly managed in general. Last year, somebody had to inform the creators of the tournament a few weeks before it started that the method they were using could end with up to 5 teams having identical records going into the championship round. It was very basic tournament measures and they couldn't understand that in order to have a true champion, winners had to play winners in every round. At the last second they came up with some silly scoring margin measurement.

This year Tennessee (hurts to speak on their behalf), beats the highest ranked team in the tournament and wins their other game easily and is relegated to the "3rd place game" while Michigan clobbers two marginal teams and is placed in the championship game due to point margin?

I personally think Michigan and Gonzaga are the best two teams in the tournament right now, but the criteria made no sense. This whole tournament has always felt like it was put together by Michael Scott. I love the match up in the tournament and it's cool to be a part of, but having these games start at 11 pm almost defeats the purpose.
Hate it for him. He probably was never going to be able to stay on the floor for long periods in the sec because he got worked defensively. But he had some promise on offense

Burnett still appears to be about what he always was. Underwhelming, but serviceable
I loathe the tournament organizers for this event

On another topic, watching Michigan I did not realize that Sam Walters had transferred again and is now at SMU and is all but a cheerleader at this point in his career. His best numbers were his freshman year at Alabama and he has trended hard down to the point of really not even playing for a marginal team and averaging 2 ppg.
Do we have any idea who we would draw next if we beat Unlv tonight
Mark Sears was an All American too until he ran into large long athletic guards. Same argument, Gonzaga has nba players in their backcourt, Purdue does not
quote:

Braden Smith isn’t a coincidental all-American. He literally exists to facilitate monsters like Kaufman-Renn.


He's a great, below the rim point guard who plays exceptionally well to his strengths. But he will run into a brick wall against large athletic guards. He always has
I will take Grant Foster over Purdues entire backcourt
Grant Foster will eat Braden smith alive
