I'm going to throw a wet rag on this for a second, then back to basketball.

With AU as the last game of the season we're looking at what is traditionally "Senior Day." It really doesn't mean a damn thing anymore.
 
In my view of basketball, goal #1 has been accomplished. Even if Bama loses their next two they'll get Wednesday and Thursday off. The worst case scenario is a four seed.

Was wondering about this scenario. I wouldn’t mind Oats sitting Sherrell Tuesday vs Georgia. He’s running on fumes and Tuesday might be difficult even with everyone playing. I would rather not in SEC tourn with 2 L’s and much rather drop away to Georgia than home vs Barn. Hell, give Philon off Tuesday as well if he needs it.

He was shut down last night, but on fumes? I don't get that take.

Aside from the UArk game, he's been a 23-25 minute guy. (probably around .750 from the field over the last five games.)

Maybe just me? He just always looks like he’s about ready to fall out. Kid has been huge this season but Oats could have used another more athletic big that can jump.(Bediako maybe 🤦‍♂️ ) TN bigs abused him a bit.

So true! I can just hear PA announcers around the country introducing a player. "Ladies and gentlemen, our first senior is John 'Long Range' Henry. He has played 7 years of college basketball for LSU, Texas Tech, Gonzaga, Temple, Central Florida and this past season for UCLA. He has a career scoring average of 2.7 points a game, has signed multiple NIL deals, redshirted his sophomore year and took a medical redshirt his first senior year. Would you join me in giving a warm Bruin welcome to John Henry and his family?"
 
A few changes with lower seeded teams...GM 1 at 7, Friday night.

It certainly looks like Bama will face a team it lost to in the regular season. I don't expect Ole Miss to get through TX and UGA.

I've said all along my hopes for the team all start with the two byes. They accomplished that. We also saw a little icing on the cake last night. I wanted game one on Friday for team rest. The icing? Look at the minutes for the roster from last night.
