How is it that...at least it seems so...Bama and Kentucky always meet. There was some shuffling from the five seed on down...Bama still at #2.

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.
