This could be the standings this year, although I'd have auburn, then Kentucky, and then Tennessee.

Yeah he's got NBA written all over him unfortunately. I don't think he'll ever leave for a blue blood.

Pretty sure he wants to prove he can win with his system not just a Blue Blood and their easy path in recruiting. Bama's no slouch but we don't have near the sway certain BBall schools have when we walk in a recruit's house.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Man I woke up and Ohio State is getting ass blasted by auburn.

TAM beat Purdue in Indy ..... SEC is sooo strong this year.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Fucking hell auburn looks far and away the best basketball team in the country. I wish Pearl would hurry up and retire.

You should have gave me the word, I would have crowbarred him. I was at the Hall of Fameduring that game. Woulda been easy.

Solid win for Buzz.

Mizzou is quietly flying under the radar. They just won their ninth straight game and their starting to really piece it together on offense. Knocked off Kansas the game before.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Illinois is giving TN all it can handle. Down 28-27 right now. Would be a HUGE win for Illinois and would boost our NET.

 

[Rolltide24]

Milicic will get it together, he’s been ice cold. Illinois has let them hang around too long. It was nice to see A&M take care of Purdue today.

 

[Bammerboy321]

TN wins at the buzzer. Dammit.

Tennessee is ranked #1 but I don't think they're the best team. To me, it's auburn.

 

[EasyTider]

What a disastrous ending for Illinois. Going into 2025, looks like SEC could have 50+% of Sweet 16. Matchups in Tournament might be key for us doing better than last year. History and expectations make it unlikely we do better than last year. Hopefully Youngblood is difference maker. We are definitely more talented than last year, but could easily struggle to get past sweet 16.

This.... Bama is a really good team but hioping youngblood can make up for writesell loss and then some.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Ohio State blasted Kentucky 85-65. Last few times they've played, Kentucky has folded late. Wild game.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Unfortunately Rutgers is not going to end up being too good of a win for us. Like us right now, they don't play a lick of defense. Lost to Princeton today 83-82.

UNC got a big win over UCLA though. That's good news.

Bama simply has to get better on defense if they are to come even close to what they have been aiming for, In this weeks press conference, Oats talked about the team that finished 3rd on defense was about the same place as this years team this time of year so obviously that team figured it out. In that same press conference he said he may have to sit people that are not getting it done on the defensive end. He should have the depth to do it.

In the North Dakota State game I kept wondering about Philon. Sounds like there was some discplinary things going on.
