No kidding.

9 seed = totally legit, scary team, great win
7 seed = overrated, seeding fluke, unimpressive win

The phony convo is so ridiculous.

Struck a nerve?

Rhetorical question lol.

As for going forward, I like Bama’s chances against BYU. Offensive howitzer in their own right . Bad defensively. Strength on strength matchup, but Bama is stronger.

I don’t think they’ll have an answer for Cliff in particular. Bama should mash them on the interior. Only hope they have is to go wild offensively, but practically any team left is capable of that.

Big bad Duke, though. That will need Bama needing all guns brought to bear and firing accurately. And be sure not to look at Cooper Flagg funny or it’ll earn a call.

I think you’re a funny guy and a little too obtuse for your own good. We faced a team that nailed 9 first half 3s, 6 of which were relatively well defended. You faced a team that couldn’t buy one until you had the game well in hand.

Ours we very much needed them to gas out and cool off. Your opponent was quite literally never a threat from range lol.

Thanks for the insult. You don’t know me. And I doubt you could keep up. But your arrogance knows no bounds.

Nope. Don’t really know you. Can only garner it from your posts, my dude.

If you’d rather me help you enjoy yourself than chat roundball, and can’t handle a minute challenge that threatens your worldview, then I’d suggest you simply ignore me.

 

[AUDub]

I don’t use phrases like “they’ll fold” or “swat them aside” lightly. I think I had a decent bead on this one lol.

Fun Fact: This is the second time Bama has played a team with the Gael mascot. The other being Iona. Both being Catholic schools thus the mascot.

I thought we had played them before because I remember the mascot. Thank you for clearing that up.

I thought the rebounding and defense in the post were exceptional during very key points of the game where it looked like they were going to make run. Great work down low.

I think Holloway has been the big difference when Sears is having a hard time finding the basket during certain stretches of the game. It helps that he can handle the ball also.

Glad I got that booger on ignore.

I just would like to point out the obvious. Cliff has been an absolute ANIMAL. At times during the season he has been much softer than we were lead to believe coming into Bama. He has impressed me for sure.

3 straight Sweet Sixteens... Nate Oats knows how to coach a team and get them playing their BEST basketball in March. We are blessed beyond measure to have him.

We still haven't peaked imo. RTR

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

An uptick in Defensive Efficiency on KenPom as well, now sitting at 29. I believe it is the highest it's been all season.

Glad I got that booger on ignore.

He tends to forget where he is.

An interesting tidbit; Mark Sears is currently in 23rd in division 1 all time scoring. He’s 17 points away from being in the top 20.

Hunter Dickinson is in 22nd but his college career ended against Arkansas this past Thursday, so that race is effectively over.

It’s funny how St Mary’s was supposed to be the giant killer just 5 hours ago. Now they suck. Lol. Barners.

Now we get to hear about our match-up with BYU, and all of their short comings

 

[Coach D]

yeah. And I’m not saying Bama got handed a “pass” to the sweet 16 or anything like that. You have to put St. Mary’s somewhere.

But I very much think St. Mary’s résumé was artificially inflated by those wins over the Zags. It’s a hard square to circle, having a high major like Gonzaga in a mid-major conference. The inevitable result is sometimes you’ll get ridiculously lopsided matchups like we saw today.

They aren’t bad like you’re making them. They’re no Yale but they aren’t that bad. Lol

Very good rebounding overall; especially against this particular team. Omoruyi showed strong hands and kept the ball up high; he led the game with 11 rebounds

What does that even mean? It would help if you'd leave out the cryptic stuff and just say what you mean.
