I loved the interview I heard Coach Oats gave today. Read the link.



Quote
“I don’t think you can coast to the end,” he said. “I think you have to push hard, get back to playing like we were. This is not the NBA bubble — the Bucks had the best record coming in. I think they coasted into the playoffs, maybe rested some guys. I don’t want to do that in these last two games. I want to push hard, try to get back to our main group playing as hard and as well as they can be playing.”


Quote
The final game on Alabama’s regular season schedule comes Saturday, when the Tide travels to Georgia in a game that was a late addition last week to replace a trip to Texas A&M. The 1 p.m. CT start on CBS will be viewed by Oats as a chance for his team to get better -- and not as a breather for his best players.

“It’s what you maybe would say is a meaningless game, because it’s not going to decide who wins the regular season,” he said Friday. “We’re already the No. 1 seed [in the SEC tournament]. But I don’t think it’s meaningless. I think we need to get back playing well.”

Gotta love CNO's attitude here.  Sounds like he knows the team is not "clicking" and wants to get that fixed before the tourneys.

I'm not watching the game but just noticed on ESPN.com that Tide is ahead 55-48 with 12:47 left in 2nd half.  Don't think this is what CNO was hoping for but maybe team is starting to pull away.

We are playing as poor of defense we can play to and let GA win the game. RTR!

Bama wasn't sharp but pulled away at the end to win 89-79. They finish the season at 21-6 and 16-2 in the SEC. Now on to the post season.

Tide wins 89-79.

I'll leave the G, B and U to MD.

Always good to get an SEC road win but I'll wait to see CNO's comments on how the team played.  Also don't know how the refs were.

But...hey... good ending to a great regular season.  ROOOOOOOOOLL TIDE... ROLL!!!

Alabama committed 22 turnovers, matching a season high.

Yeah, this kinda sucked, but once again, they did what they had to to get the win.

We played a poor first half. Turned the ball over too much and missed wide open shots at the rim and from behind the three point line. UGA played hard, they gave us a good game. In the second half we quickly erased the 6 point deficit. We out scored UGA 59 to 43. Another good road win for Alabama. We are March Madness ready. Bring on the SEC Tournament.

Well CNO is right. If we don't play our best bb of the season we won't win this tourney there are a lot of teams that are after us. RTR!

Sorry I didn’t make any comments but wife & I were out doing a lot of things but I did listen to the game on the radio.
