🏀 GAME THREAD 🏆 Ole Miss vs Alabama in the SEC Tournament: Rebels upset the Tide, 80-79

I watched the Softball game instead of our BB. IMO, CNO has had it rough this season reaching these young men at times on urgency and intensity levels. You're playing a team that's under .500 and you thumped them pretty bad at the end of the season and you play like all you needed to win was to just show up. We're 30+ games in, so I believe it's safe to say that our defensive play is what it is. Gear up and strap it on for the tournament. That first game for us is going to be a challenge I'm sure.

This team has a really good offense most nights so that gives them a chance against anyone but the defense puts them in the ability to lose to anyone category also.

Basketball is such a schizophrenic sport.. you never know what to expect each time your team hits the court.

Ole Miss played Arkansas tough. Beard knows which buttons to push when it comes to the postseason.

Maddening to think though that Florida has been knocked out. Now it's down to Vandy and Arkansas. Golden opportunity wasted for Alabama due to a lack of intensity and focus.

Don’t forget, IMO, we missed on Williamson and Bol. Look at UF and Arizona, they play with two bigs most of the time. UF has 2 that are very athletic and Arizona has one very athletic big and the other rebounds well. We need some bigger bodies that can rebound and play physical.
