Wague should be suspended indefinitely.

Last night started a string of 5 straight Quad 1 games (current standings). Tournament-like stretch.

If we win out, and make a run in the SEC Tournament we can get on the 2 line
Posted on 2/22/24 at 9:21 am to MontyFranklyn
If we win out we will be 24-7, outright champs of a very tough league, and have like 16 Q1/2 wins against a nightmare schedule. I don't think we'd need to even win a game in the conference tournament to be a 2 seed. At worst we'd be the top 3 seed.

I’d be happy with a 3-2 close to the regular season if I’m being honest.

I wonder if Kentucky will be favored Saturday? They've lost 5 of their last 9.

As long as 1 of the wins is UT (which means we win the SEC going 3-2) then that would be okay. At this point need to finish the job and win the conference again.

Any word on if Wrightsell is back for Saturday? Not having him last night was a factor.

No. 13 Alabama Outlasts No. 24 Florida in Overtime Thriller, 98-93
The Crimson Tide had six players in double figures to extend its winning streak in SEC home games to 16 consecutive
The No. 13/13 Alabama men's basketball team came back from a double-digit second half deficit and defeated No. 24/RV Florida in overtime, 98-93, Wednesday night inside Coleman Coliseum. The contest featured eight ties and 16 lead changes in the back-and-forth thriller.
Alabama (19-7, 11-3 SEC) trailed for a majority of the game and went down by as many as 10 points, 72-62, at the 8:40 mark of the second half. However, back-to-back threes from Sam Walters sparked a 15-4 Crimson Tide run to regain the lead 77-76 with 4:25 remaining. After Mark Sears drained a pair of free throws to tie the game and send it to overtime in the final seconds, Aaron Estrada scored six of the Tide's 13 points in the extra period to lift UA to the team's 16th consecutive home conference win.
Grant Nelson led the way for the Crimson Tide with 22 points, eight rebounds and a career-high six blocked shots. He was joined in double figures by Estrada (20), Sears (17), Walters (14), Nick Pringle (13) and Rylan Griffen (10).
Florida (18-8, 8-5) was led by Walter Clayton Jr., who finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and five assists.
Head Coach Nate Oats Postgame Comments
"Wow that was a wild game, but we figured out a way to win it. I told our guys, sometimes when you play bad you have to figure out ways to win games and I thought we figured it out. A couple of plays come to mind; Sam (Walters) hit some big threes and it wasn't just the threes he hit though, he got a tip in a big possession late in the game that kept the ball alive for Aaron (Estrada) to go on and get the put back. Aaron almost had a triple-double and I thought that this was probably Grant's (Nelson) best game. The three in the corner was huge, but the six blocks were bigger.
If you're going to win a championship, these are the games that you have to figure out ways to win, even when you don't play well. After going down 10, we got together in the huddle, like we did at Georgia. We said we're going to figure out a way to win this game and make some big plays. I thought this was maybe (Mark) Sears' best game defensively and it showed with that big steal that he had late in the game. We continued to figure out ways to win this game when we didn't play well.
But for us to outscore them 56-40 in the paint was huge for this game. So, give our guys a lot of credit for figuring out a way to win a game. They (Florida) came in with a great game plan and played well, especially with their guards. Give our guys a ton of credit and Florida a lot of credit. We are going to have to play much better at their place. But we've got two days to lock in on a scouting report and do a much better job on Saturday than we did tonight."

Sam Walters Provides Needed Spark in Alabama Basketball Win over Florida (SI)
Crimson Tide freshman hits four big 3-pointers on a night when 3-point shooting was disastrous.

I think 3 seed is where I'd want to be.
There have been as many 3 seeds make the Championship game (12) as 2 seeds despite 2 seeds making the Final Four almost twice as much (since 1985).
Also, 3s have the highest % of any seed making the Championship game of any team making the Final Four with a minimum of 15 appearances.
Performance by seeding
