Enjoy this Friday boys. Enjoy the dub. Enjoy the rest of basketball tonight. Enjoy the weekend. And enjoy the fact that Alabama has now won a tournament game in five of the last six seasons.

Give Oats that lifetime contract.

Iowa basketball is as painful to watch as past Iowa football teams. Geez. Hold the ball until 7 seconds on the shot clock and then run a clear out and take a contested shot around the rim. I don’t know how they’ve reached 65 tonight. Feels like a 30-25 game.

Statistically, I'm sure we're similar. I've watched them a lot this season and they will absolutely physically push us off the 3-point line. Jaylen Petty is going to be a tough matchup for us. Christian Anderson is a really quick guard that can facilitate and great at finding holes in the D.

I mainly have issues with how we have trouble staying in front of guards. Our positioning leaves a lot to be desired. I always pay attention to our feet and how slow we are to react. Philon got beat a good bit today that fortunately didn't result in buckets late for Hofstra.

I say this - I really hate we are missing Davion Hannah due to injury. I thought his vertical and recovery on D was on par with Jemison. His wingspan is missed.
