Omnibus Thread on SEC Tournament...

[CB72]

Their recruiting is #1 or 2 every year.

 

[CB4]

Their fans are already sniffing at Oats

And rumor is Louisville has Nate on the short list to replace Payne.

If this were the 1980s, I could see Oats being interested, but not in 2024. Louisville's program is nowhere near as good as what Oats has at Bama right now. This rumor will probably get Oats another pay increase.

To me, he has earned it

I agree. Give Oats whatever it takes to keep him.

And start breaking ground on that new arena

 

[CB72]

They gotta get this program a new awesome arena for basketball. They got that Performing arts center and new Tutwiller and all kinda new stuff and time for Coleman to be put to some other use and something new built.

UF gave the SEC the cheat code for beating Auburn. They harassed the devil out of the Barn's bigs every time they touched the ball in the paint and they cut off passing lanes to the 3 point line for wide-open kick outs.

Of course, UF had the players to match up well vs. the Barn. Many teams don't, including us, but this is the blueprint and it's what we need to try to replicate the next time we face 'em, if we do.

A new facility...?

 

[CrimsonBloodn62]

A new facility...?

If a new arena is ever built, I hope the students get better seating closer to the floor.

I hope they'd put all the student seating on the side the TV angle shows (opposite from the camera mounts). Let them have the first 10-15 rows along the whole side of the court.

Let big money folks have the seats at floor level and season ticket holders get seats on the other side (same side as the camera). That way when the game starts and half of them aren't in their seats for games that don't matter as much to them, at least the seats aren't empty in view of the camera!

By all means, don't put press row in a place the TV view show it. That's ridiculous!

I think it might take a new arena to keep CNO long term.

When the next round of big name coaches are hired in the coming years CNO is going to be in the list of contenders at every one of these schools, including Kentucky. If Cal keeps losing like this, it might not be long.

Arena isnt just for mens basketball.
Women's too.
Gymnastics also.

Is there an "SEC cheat code" for beating Bama?

Asking for a friend.....

Friend here. It's impossible to beat Bama if they hit all of their shots since their shots are worth more than your shots. Tell your Gators that resistance is futile, they should just go ahead and mail it in. Alabama will appreciate your help - unfortunately, they need it. We will thank you profusely.

Yes, it's called Doug Shows. No blue font.

Well.....we have 8 games left and current thinking we hope to win half of those.

Our 2 games with Bama are NOT on that list.....that's all I can tell you at this point. 🤷‍♂️

Your team has some challenges coming up, @AUDub !

we started like 1-11 from 3, and most of those were open. Very different game at the half had we been hitting. But such is basketball.

 

[AUDub]

Got our foot on USC’s throat at the end of the first half.

 

[AUDub]

Well a 40 point win over a ranked team feels nice.

 

[AUDub]

And now for big bad UK.
