🏀 đźŹ€ Sweet 16 - (2) Alabama hammers (6) BYU 113-88, Advances to Elite 8

Bama is listed as a 4.5 favorite. On a side note... It would be real nice to give them a little payback for the AJ Dybansta circus that wasted UA's time (and some $) back in December. Most coaches would probably not really look to revenge as a motivating factor in a game like this, with the Elite 8 on the line... but Nate Oats ain't most coaches. I could see maybe a little dose of that 2021 Will Wade style spur under his saddle. Hope Bama beats the brakes off of them....

Yea, my thoughts exactly. CNO isn't one to care about that. I'd love to see them come out mad and on fire. Especially since when this team plays with passion they're usually tougher to play against.
 
Alabama's really going to have to play at the level of defense they had vs Houston to have a chance. This BYU team plays a similar style to us. Turnover rate is similar to us as well. Just have to be locked in for forty minutes.

Really nervous about this game turning into the past two games vs Florida.

What's the difference in last game against Florida and BYU? Grant Nelson.

Nelson played in the first matchup and Florida still sort of dominated Alabama (big 2nd half run to go up 14 with 5:58 left).

BYU is good enough to match our pace and be disruptive in the paint. Just hope the guys are ready to match their physicality. If so, then I definitely think Alabama gives Duke all they can handle.

They're all tough at this level. I'm nervous too, but I'm always nervous whenever Bama plays.
