He has. Sometimes a change is for the best.


I'm not sure why people have a hard time accepting this simple fact.

Particularly in a sport like basketball, the system, self-confidence, just plain the way you feel about the coach, teammates, etc can make a huge difference in individual performance.

If Alabama keeps this up they will win the Title


I mean, sure.

Any other sweet 16 team that shoots 25/51 from 3 every game from here in will win it all too.

Don't get us wrong, we're happy as hell but expecting that every game? Even Harvey doesn't have that much Bama in him.

If Bama doesn't get their 3 point
Shooting going, it'll be close.
They've yet to get hot from there
In this tournament. That's their
Bread & butter


Is this some kind of drunken Haiku attempt?
This makes no sense.

Trivia: how many basketball teams from the SEC lost more than one game in a row this year?


quote:

What surprised me was that 15 teams lost at least 2 in a row.


You asked how many teams lost more than one basketball game in a row and then say you were surprised that 15 teams lost at least two in a row.

but you also said

quote:

The answer is 1.


Obviously, the answer to your question is 15 and not 1. Luckily for you, the University of Florida is better at basketball than you are at math.
I can only assume you mean the best hire this century or maybe in the last 50 years because there’s this guy that came along in 1958…..
quote:

Everytime I see him catch and shoot he's missing far more than making


Of those that played the whole season, he’s the got the second best 3pt percentage on the team. Holloway’s at 41.7. Youngblood’s at 38.7. Sears is 5% worse than Youngblood.

:dunno:

Elite 8


I think this is the realistic expectation and should be considered a success. Once you get to that point, everybody left is a 1 or 2 seed or a team that's already beaten a 1 or 2 seed.

Everybody left is good. Since it's a lose and go home tourney, advancing beyond that round comes down to who has a hot hand and gets the good bounces on that particular day.

You don’t need to admit anything. The historical record has already proven your statement about recent history to be wrong.

Those teams have a recent history of out-toughing the Tide in hoops, especially Tennessee.


In the last 2 seasons, Alabama is 4-4 against those two teams. They’re 3-1 vs Auburn :dunno:

They already reached a short term agreement.

Paramount ain’t the mouse. They don’t have enough high end content to win an extended fight.

So YTTV is dropping Paramount channels..Paramount owns CBS. So people are freaking out about March Madness. But i don’t think that’s gonna affect us because NexStar owns CBS42 and Turner is owned by Warner Bros I think. So we should still be good for March


It’s just your normal spat over carriage fees. Every single cable and streaming provider does it when their contracts run out.

It will be resolved way before March.

I think Dioubate deserved the hard hat but Oats gave it to Sears to boost his confidence


So you think Oats says there’s a points system to award the hard hat, releases it for all to see, then arbitrarily throws it out as he sees fit?

Got it. :rolleyes:

That's kinda fricked up. That would be like sending Mark Sears to Tennessee or Nate Oats to Minnesota.


I never said it would have been a smart move :lol:

We shot 82% from FTs yesterday


It was a VERY nice change in the right direction but I gotta admit when Nelson went 1-2 then 0-2 from the line in his first two trips I was about ready to box him up and ship him back to South Dakota. :lol:

You mean like last year?

The season Alabama made the final 4?

Ok, done deal.

and could throw over the middle/with anticipation


Talk about revisionist history. The main complaint about Hurts during his first two years was his inability to throw over the middle. Everyone complained that “most of his passes are behind the line of scrimmage.”

quote:

Name one.


Hurts, Jalen

His first season was worse than Milroe. His second season saw him benched in the national championship game and lose his starting job.

Dan Enos figured out which switches to flip And the rest is history.

Milroe has the physical ability. The odds of someone finding the right switch to flip at the NFL level are incredibly low and most certainly not worth a first round draft pick much less the second overall, but they aren’t zero. He’s a good guy, I hope it happens for him, but there’s no planet where I would use anything higher than a fourth or fifth round pick to find out if it will happen.

Philon is a huge upgrade to Rylan, to me.


I don’t see how anyone could have a different opinion.

I liked Rylan and he was an asset to the team but Philon is just at an entirely different level. I’m not sure he won’t be a one and done.

Wimp did have a team with Leon Douglas that could have won if all.


Wimp's team that could have won it all was 1986-87.


Derrick McKey
Jim Farmer
Michael Ansley
Keith Askins
Craig Dudley
Mark Gottfried
Terry Coner
James Jackson

McKey, Askins, Farmer, and Ansley all played in the NBA with McKey and Askins playing for more than a decade.

Damn you Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan......

I watched the second half of the game.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before - it shouldn’t have been as close as it was but Bama shot 59% from the line (16-27) and was under 50% until hitting several when OM started desperation fouling.

Bama shot better from 3 than they did from the line (62 to 59).

Maybe Oats and Curry can get a 2 for 1 deal on a free throw shooting guru. :lol:
